Quest GWD
Solid-state gyro while drilling
Overview
Quest GWD™ solid-state gyro while drilling provides operators with an advanced tool to minimize the expensive risk of collisions during complex drilling projects. This innovative gyro-while-drilling (GWD) technology delivers high-quality, accurate measurements that prevent drilling into nearby existing wells while reducing the ellipse of uncertainty in real time. This enhanced precision and accuracy enables operators to avoid lease lines more effectively, lower the risk of frac hits, and increase the likelihood of successfully reaching hydrocarbon-rich target zones.
Applications
- Vertical, directional, and horizontal drilling
