Gyro Path® Technology

The core of the Gyro Path® technology is a north-seeking gyroscopically-oriented instrument package that can be applied in mining, oil & gas, and horizontal directional drilling. The system uses angular rate sensors to determine azimuth of the instrument relative to the Earth’s rotation axis. Operation of the surveying instrument is assisted by accelerometers, temperature sensors, and (in some configurations) magnetometers, as well as accessories such as our wireline modem system.

The Gyro Path® technology finds application in:

 

  • directional borehole steering tools:
    • directional compasses
    • inclinometers
    • clinometers
 

  • gyroscopically-oriented instruments:
    • gyroscopically-oriented directional compasses
    • gyroscopically-oriented inclinometers
    • gyroscopically-oriented clinometers
 

  • instruments for measuring direction and orientation of boreholes:
    • directional compasses
    • inclinometers
    • clinometers
    • magnetic and electromagnetic location transmitters and detectors
