Updated March 2019. Copyright © Gyrodata, Inc 2019 In Argentina, an operator was surveying to determine if the borehole location was accurate prior to kick off in a land exploration well. The customer ran a low- cost, low-accuracy, magnetic, meaturement-while-drilling (MWD) survey, which had azimuth errors up to 30 degrees that indicated an inaccurate survey. This posed a challenge because the operator needed to know the accurate azimuth so they could avoid wellbore positioning errors. The operator turned to Gyrodata to provide solutions with regards to azimuth and inclination so they could determine the correct borehole location. ? Gyrodata successfully corrected the borehole location by 28.44 meters (93.31 feet). ? Utilizing Gyrodata's survey, the operator was able to continue
