Problem We Solve

When it comes to directional drilling underground, oil, gas, and energy companies need ways to drill bore holes accurately. The inclination of the drill bit and its orientation play a key role in ensuring a successful project. Drilling operators need tools that have accurate Measurement While Drilling (MWD) capabilities – which allow measurements to be sent continuously while the hole is being drilled. The more accurate sensor data that a drilling operator has, the better they can control the digging process and make adjustments on the fly if necessary. Specifically, sensors that can accurately measure inclination, azimuth and toolface are essential when it comes to needing real time accuracy.

Why it is Important

A sensor malfunction while drilling could entail a potential significant loss and a major downtime. Drilling contractors need to avoid potential hazards underground, as well as comply with the designated drilling area. Accelerometers and magnetometers that are not designed for harsh environments or cannot withstand intense shocks and vibrations could mean that the drilling operator loses real time measurements and veers off course. Therefore, it is important to have accelerometers and magnetometers that are well-tested and reliable for these demanding applications.

How We Solve it

The innovative TS1000T is the best in class MEMS accelerometer specifically designed for high-temperature directional drilling applications. Accelerometer is available in 3 ranges : ± 2 , 5, 10 g.

This sensor offers the highest performance stability with shock resistance, as well as the lowest non-linearity and noise in the MEMS marketplace. The proven MEMS technology by Safran is pushing forward the vibration and shock endurance in temperature.

The TS1000T accelerometer operates from -40°C to +150°C and up to +175°C by intermittent temperature exposure.

Why Choose Us

The TS1000T and MS1000T high-temperature MEMS accelerometers are specifically designed for inertial directional drilling applications because they can withstand extreme shock and vibration, as well as high temperatures. The TS1000T and MS1000T have a shock survivability of 6000 g and an endurance shock tolerance of 1500 g. Unconventional resource extraction requires sophisticated drilling technologies, and the TS1000T and MS1000T help with complex drilling operations including sidetracking, fault drilling, multiple target zones and applications that entail multiple wells.

The built-in self-test mode generates a square wave signal on the device outputs (OUTP & OUTN) and can be used for device failure detection. This can be helpful to prevent system faults before they occur.

The high quality sensor design of our MEMS Accelerometer products support test engineers around the world quickly and flexibly, to ensure safety and reliability of vehicles, equipment and buildings.
