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 the azimuth of the instrument relative to the Earth's rotation axis. Operation is assisted by accelerometers, teperature sensors, and (in some applications) magnetometers, as well as accessories such as our wireline modem system.

The Gyro Path technology finds application as:

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

Accessories available for Gyro Shot® instruments include:

wireline modem
pressure housing
thermal flask
