Description
The QL40-DEV Borehole Deviation probe measures the direction relative to magnetic north, inclination and trajectory of the borehole. Measurements are based on the “Applied Physics Systems” 544 orientation sensor containing both a 3-axis fluxgate magnetometer and a 3-axis accelerometer.
Deviation parameters are calculated in real time and displayed as continuous logs during the measurement. Deviation data can be processed further using the WellCAD software and deviation module. The WellCAD deviation module includes various 2D and 3D display options for deviation data from classical bull’s eye, projection and closure 2D views to 3D cubic and cylindrical displays
The QL40-DEV tool is stackable within the Quick Link (QL) product line or it can be run as a standalone tool.
Applications
- Borehole True Vertical Depth
- Borehole trajectory based on direction, inclination and drift measurement
