Operating directly behind the drill bit,the iPZIG at-bit inclination and gamma ray tool provides real-time measurementsthat reduce directional drilling risk in critical hole sections. The earlyindication of changes in lithology, delivered by the gamma ray log, helps toaccurately land horizontal wells.
Designed to operate as two separate subs, alower sub, located directly above the drill bit, acquires data and transmitsdata to the upper sub, located above the drilling mud motor. The upper subprovides communication to measurement/logging-while-drilling systems.
The iPZIG can accommodate flexiblebottomhole assembly (BHA) designs, and is compatible with any drilling mudmotor. iPZIG provides the closest to the bit sensor offsets available in theindustry and is the only tool to provide both gamma and inclination at the bit.These measurements are used to help determine well path placement and determineposition in real-time while drilling.
