A gyroscopic survey is a method of determining the deviation of a wellbore path from the vertical plane using a gyroscope tool. It helps to ensure accurate wellbore placement. A magnetic survey utilizes magnetometers to measure the Earth's magnetic field to determine the wellbore's orientation in relation to the magnetic north, aiding in directional drilling operations.

What is the Difference between magnetic and gyro compass?

A magnetic compass uses the poles of our planet to stay in alignment. A Gyroscopic compass is set to a particular direction and tends to try to stay that way. After time, even the best Gyro will start to precess (move). This means the you will need to compare your Gyro to the magnetic every 15 minutes or so. Some modern gyroscopic compasses are capable of auto resetting to do this update automatically


What are gyro tools?

Gyroscopic survey tools such as those manufactured by SPT are viewed as productivity and profitability tools, helping borehole operators attain targets within time and cost constraints. It is no secret mining companies are now extensively exploiting every site in an effort to make every mine profitable. SPT surveying instruments have proved invaluable in such cases due to their well known reliability, repeatability of results, speed and consistency. Previous generation magnetic sensor based instruments simply cannot work in such conditions while the true north seeking gyroscopic survey tool works regardless of geological formations or the presence of magnetic disturbances in the form of nearby boreholes.

How do you use gyrocompass?

A gyrocompass is used to determine true north by using the Earth's rotation and the principle of gyroscopic stability. It does not rely on magnetic elements, making it less prone to interference from magnetic fields. It is commonly used in navigation for ships and aircraft to provide accurate direction information.

Why does top not fall during spinning?

A spinning top has a gyroscopic effect that is resistant to changing its axis (falling over). The faster the top, the stronger the gyroscopic effect. As the top begins to slow due to friction, the gyroscopic effect weakens and the top begins to fall.


How does the north seeking gyro work?

North seeking gyro is the best gyroscopic surveying instrument for the mining and Oil & Gas industries. As it is a North-Seeking Gyro, all measurements are in reference to geographic North. Unlike other downhole survey or magnetic tools, it is not affected by magnetic interference. When it comes to directional surveying where precision and accuracy are of paramount importance, especially in areas with strong magnetic influences, true North-seeking gyro while drilling is the only solution. It can run inside casing without worrying about the magnetic influences causing deviations and errors.SPT true North-seeking gyro while drilling uses quartz technology, more rugged and highly precise in operation.


What are the aims and objectives of compass survey?

The aims of a compass survey are to determine the magnetic bearing of a line and to set out accurate directions on the field. Its objectives include establishing a reference direction, determining the magnetic declination, and providing a basis for orienting maps and conducting navigation activities.
