offshore oilfield technology provider Schlumberger has launched its latest gyro - while - drilling technology , featuring the first deployment of a micro - electromechanical system ( MEMS ) in the sector . Schlumberger said its GyroSphere MEMS offers greater accuracy while drilling , reducing survey uncertainty by up to 45 % , and is faster and able to withstand more down - hole drilling and vibration than other systems . In addition , GyroSphere offers increased efficiencies as it does n't require recalibration between wells .
US oilfield services firm Schlumberger has launched its latest gyro-while-drilling service, featuring the first application of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) in the sector. Schlumberger said its GyroSphere MEMS offers greater accuracy while drilling, reducing survey uncertainty by up to 45%, and is faster and able to withstand more down-hole shock and vibration than other systems. In addition, GyroSphere offers increased efficiencies as it doesn't require recalibration between runs.
