tool in 1992, which allowed for real-time gyro toolface on wireline while drilling and sliding. The slimhole gyro system was also introduced the same year. Gyrodata commercialized the industry’s first drop gyroscopic surveying system in the mid-1990s, which used a battery-powered system. The drop tool eliminated the requirement for wireline and nonmagnetic collars, and the foundation of this technology remains a part of Gyrodata’s service offering today. In 1997, Gyrodata introduced its line of Advanced Logging Combination (ALC) tools, which enabled simultaneous collection of a gyro survey along with a variety of wireline logs provided by third-party wireline companies. Fast-forward a few years to the start of the new millennium, and Gyrodata acquired Cambridge Drilling Automation to expand its technology and service offerings. Cambridge was an industry pioneer and leader in the development of RSS. This acquisition led to Gyrodata launching its own RSS—a closed-loop system with point-the-bit technology. The company launched its first GWD tool in 2002, providing drillers with the ability to use real-time gyro steering and surveying data while drilling. Simultaneously, Gyrodata introduced a survey-while-drilling technology in North America that would become the foundation of its future MWD technologies. In 2008, engineers at the company achieved compatibility with third-party electromagnetic telemetry to transmit GWD in real time with a broader range of host MWD tools and also performed the first successful run with a high-speed drop gyro system. The following year, the Continuous All-Attitude Tool (CAAT) was introduced, which provided continuous surveying from vertical to horizontal while moving in or out of the well. In 2010, the company introduced several new technologies, including a new, in-house-developed gyroscope—which is the primary sensor used across a range of Gyrodata technologies and services—a new mud motor, and a new GWD system designed to provide surveys at up to 40° of inclination. GWD systems for wells with up to 70° of inclination shortly followed, establishing Gyrodata as the only provider of gyroscopic surveys above 40°. Construction began on the company’s new headquarters in Houston, Texas in 2010, and in early 2011, Gyrodata began operating from the new offices. The next several years saw a substantial amount of technology innovation, including a GWD system for wells up to 90°, a high-density tortuosity logging software to improve casing running and placement of artificial lift equipment, and two next-generation MWD systems: one that provided inclination and azimuth while drilling via mud-pulse telemetry, the other
