True Shot

The recently launched M1 Unmanned MWD (measurement while drilling) tool by True Shot  is the first of its kind in the market. It uses state-of-the-art technologies to merge high-precision abilities with enhanced endurance and tolerance ideal for high-end drilling projects. Here are three reasons why True Shot M Series is so popular right now. High-Precision Sensors The M1 Unmanned MWD measures the three-dimensional orientation of the drill, helping the operators maneuver the device during deviated well drilling. M1 has a sensory accuracy of +/-0.1° for inclination (vertical orientation) and +/- 0.25° for azimuth (horizontal orientation).  M1 uses three different types of sensors to measure orientation: magnetometers, accelerometers, and gyroscopes. Magnetometers  work as a strong compass to measure the azimuth of the drill. Accelerometers measure the acceleration due to gravity which is known to always point downwards. They use the direction it reads to determine the incl...

  From ro tary hammer drills to measurement-while-drilling tools, modern drilling is as complex as engineering processes get. In this article, we assume no prior technical knowledge of well drilling processes and walk you through the basics in layperson language. Here’s everything you need to know about well drilling. What You’re Drilling For Depending on where you want to drill, there’s a lot of material you have to go through before you start drilling the actual well. You have to pass through all the superficial materials such as sand, clay, rocks, and boulders. These layers are collectively referred to as the “overburden”.  Beneath the overburden, lies solidified magma called bedrock. A well is just a cavity in the bedrock  that accumulates and stores water. After cleaning all the overburden along the way, a well is drilled deep into the bedrock which acts as a reservoir for water. Drilling also causes small fractures in the bedrock which supplies water to the well. Ho...

The M1 is a high-performance MWD (measurement while drilling) system by True Shot  that’s getting more popular in the market every day. The M1 by True Shot is the first of its kind in terms of precision and transmission, thanks to the state-of-the-art technologies it uses. In this article, we’ll walk you through the basic functions of the M1 Unmanned MWD system and discuss how it works. We use layperson language throughout this article to make this information accessible to you even if you don’t know the first thing about well drilling. Let’s start by discussing the main purpose of the M1 Unmanned MWD  by True Shot.     What Does M1 Unmanned MWD  Do? Drilling today is far more complex than simply digging a hole in the ground. Traditional wells are still pretty common, but in some cases, drilling straight down isn't an opinion. For example, there may be a boulder blocking the path between the drilling site and where the well has to be drilled. This is where devia...
