Gyrodata, Incorporated is a privately owned company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company has principal offices in Aberdeen, Scotland and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Gyrodata is a leading provider of technology and services, including gyroscopic surveying, and wellbore logging, to the upstream oil and gas industry. The company’s surveying, wireline, and support services help customers place wells more precisely and accurately, improve hydrocarbon recovery factors, and reduce project lifecycle costs. Gyrodata operates in more than 50 countries across multiple energy markets and employs approximately 600 people. Services The company operates across four major service areas: Drilling, Surveying, Wireline, and Support. Drilling Services encompasses a wide range of technologies designed for directional drilling applications, including performance motors, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools, rotary steerable systems (RSS), and gyro-while-drilling (GWD) tools, the latter of which was invented by Gyrodata in 2002 to use real-time gyro steering and surveying data while drilling. Surveying Services provides gyroscopic surveys designed to improve wellbore placement using both spinning-mass and solid-state technology, depending on the application. Wireline Services covers not only traditional wireline and cased-hole logging solutions but unique offerings in high-density wellbore tortuosity logging and cement bond logging. Support Services covers drilling optimization and real-time monitoring provided by a remote operations center, with experts on-hand 24/7 to help improve performance and drilling challenges. History Gyrodata was founded in Houston, Texas by Robert S McMahan, Steve Klopp, Gary Uttecht and a team of industry veterans who recognized a gap in the market for surveying technologies. Several large, multinational oil and gas companies supported Gyrodata during its formation in an effort to bring new surveying technologies to market. After several years of technology development and numerous field trials with leading oil and gas operators, Gyrodata ran the first commercial gyroscopic survey in 1983. Several months later, Gyrodata opened its office in Aberdeen, Scotland to provide services for the North Sea. In 1987, Gyrodata opened its first office in Malaysia, and began working across the Asia Pacific region. A year later, the company opened its first offices in the Middle East. That same year, Gyrodata introduced the Gyrodata Electronic Magnetic Surveyor (GEMS) steering tool, which provided drilling guidance in directional drilling applications and logging. In the early 1990s, Gyrodata built its Eastern Hemisphere headquarters in Aberdeen, Scotland while opening new regional offices in Argentina and Venezuela, which represented its first entry into Latin America. Following this, the company introduced the gyroscopic steering
