3 Reasons True Shot M Series is the Finest in the Market

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 inclination of the drill.

Gyroscopes work a little differently as they're not sensors per se.  They are rotating flywheels with stored angular momentum. Since angular momentum is a conserved quantity, gyroscopes tend to resist any change in their orientation. They verify the measurements taken by other sensors, improving accuracy.

Powerful Mud Pulse

The information collected by sensors on the M1 Unmanned MWD can't be communicated to the operators using the traditional ways of communication. Data cables cannot survive the environment, and radio waves cannot get through the overburden. 

M1 uses mud pulse telemetry technology. Unlike radio waves that travel through the electromagnetic field, mud pulse telemetry uses mud as a travel medium. Mid pulse transmits MWD data through pulses in the mud.

M1 is equipped with powerful motors capable of producing waves 50 times more powerful than gravitational acceleration. This is denoted on M1's specifications sheet as "50g."

Internal Logging

Mud pulse is highly effective at transmitting MWD data to operators on the ground. However, it consumes a lot of energy. Transmitting all the data collected by M1 is a time-consuming task, but the information needs to be logged somewhere. 

M1 Unmanned MWD has internal data logging. It stores all the data from the sensors internally, which can be accessed by the operators. Engineers can also analyze this data later for troubleshooting. The M1 tool supports data logging for up to 1500 hours.

In addition to these features, the M1 Unmanned MWD from True Shot also has a high-pressure tolerance of 20,000psi and can operate in temperatures up to 135°C / 235°F. The complete specifications can be found on our M1 MWD System page. Check out the M Unmanned MWD system now!

How To Optimize Production with The Right Survey Tools

Image
Optimizing production is crucial for the success of any oil and gas operation. The right survey tools can help achieve this goal by providing accurate and timely data. In this blog, we will discuss how to optimize production with survey tools  in the oil and gas industry. Understanding Survey Tools The subsurface conditions of oil and gas wells must be measured and analyzed using survey tools . By identifying the position, orientation, and geometry of underground formations, they assist in gathering crucial information needed to improve production. Gamma logging  and downhole tools  offer precise measurements of underground formations and wellbore conditions and are frequently used as surveying tools. To maximize productivity, accurate survey data is essential for spotting possible problems and making wise decisions. Operators can obtain comprehensive data on the wellbore and reservoir with the correct survey instruments, increasing drilling efficiency, saving costs, and improving dril

5 Applications of Directional Drilling

Image
Completing directional drilling  involves drilling underground in a horizontal direction. It’s mostly done to explore gas or oil reserves. Directional drilling is also referred to as directional boring. Unlike other drilling methods, directional drilling has a  reduced impact on the environment . At  True Shot , we provide the perfect solutions for your drilling needs. We offer unmanned MWD services   with a highly accurate survey on connection (SOC) data. Our command center keeps track of all drilling operations to ensure efficiency and productivity. Let’s look at the top five  applications  to complete  directional drilling  at True Shot . 1.   It Uses Sidetracking Application Sidetracking involves digging holes that are higher than the bottom ones. It was initially used to avoid lost obstruction during directional drilling completions . Later, this technique was used to explore the resource capability of various fields. Many side tracks can also be made for different purposes on a s

When Is Horizontal Directional Drilling a Preferred Option?

Image
  One of the most effective options a drilling contractor has at their disposal is horizontal directional drilling. The method involves drilling in a non-vertical direction to access the underground gas or oil reserves. Learn about the scenarios pushing a growing number of companies toward directional drilling completions . When They Need to Minimize Their Footprint Oil and gas companies are looking to reduce their  carbon footprint  and extract reserves with minimal surface disturbance. A single drilling pad can be utilized to drill multiple wells using horizontal directional drilling. The rigs can also bore through any tough terrain, such as swamplands, deep rivers, and even artificial barriers, such as runways and highways, without impacting the surface terrain. This helps preserve the region's aesthetics.  When They Have a Tight Budget Many companies have a very tight budget and can only afford to hire fewer operators. This is why they prefer directional drilling. The undergrou
