Ecuador 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.
