What are gyro tools?

Answer 1

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.
