Shockproof to 6000g

2 What can SmartTool do for me? --

Four different tasks

Single-shot survey ----- read data on StoreIT ----- combine data on PC to make …

Multi-shot survey 3D hole path using magnetic azimuth measurement

Orientated survey ----- less than 30m, close to vertical 3D hole path maintaining azimuth with orientation rods

Tool or Core orientation, usingGravity roll angle ---- for inclined holesMagnetic toolface angle --- for vertical holes

Eight measurements at each DEPTH (shot) recorded by SensIT

1 Dip (Inclination) of hole 2 Direction (azimuth) of hole for Positional Survey

5 Magnetic field strength 6 Magnetic dip angle for Quality Assurance

3 Gravity Roll angle of SensIT 4 Toolface angle of SensIT for Orientation

7 Temperature of SensIT 8 Depth, time and datefor the record



Survey


Orientation Setting the zero Gravity Roll Angle


Orientation Setting the zero MagneticToolface Angle

The Earth’s Gravitational Field


Quality assurance.

The Earth’s Gravitational Field

If Grav. Field is not 1.00 G, then SensIT is moving; Dip and Azimuth may both be unreliable


Quality assurance.

The Earth’s magnetic field

Variation - angular difference between True North and Magnetic North

Magnetic Field Strength - the force of the earth's magnetic field

Magnetic Dip Angle - angle the field force lines make with the horizontal

At each place on the earth's surface, these values are known.


Quality assurance.

Set the threshold for the local magnetic environment


Quality assurance.

Identify the unreliable azimuths


Quality assurance.
