A major operator’s well with a rod pump artificial lift system went down after just one week. It was discovered there was excessive damage to the rods and they had parted at 4,700 ft MD. The cause of the damage was unknown and the drilling surveys hadn’t indicated any red flags at the depth originally selected for the rod guide placement. With only a conventional drilling survey at 90 ft intervals available, Gyrodata’s MicroGuide system was required to obtain higher accuracy measurements at a higher resolution (1 ft intervals). The MicroGuide solution was utilized to log the inside of the 23/8 inch tubing to a depth of 10,550 ft - delivering greater insight into tortuosity, maximum available tool OD, and the true micro doglegs of the well. The detailed DLS vs Depth analysis provi
