RG Gyroscopic Verticality Probe

Gyroscopic Verticality Probe

The gyroscopic verticality probe is designed to acquire borehole inclination/ azimuth logs in situations where metal casing or magnetic materials around the borehole influence the measurement.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The probe includes a gimbal-mounted directional gyroscope for orientational measurement and two accelerometers for inclination. Prior to logging, the operator mounts the probe in a stand and orientates a reference mark towards Magnetic North using a conventional compass. After uncaging by a command from the surface unit, the gyroscope then maintains this direction reference regardless of subsequent rotation of the probe while logging.
