Advanced Electronic Compass for Oil Drilling Applications

From Advanced Orientation Systems, Inc.
 

 
Trial and error may work well in a laboratory but when it comes to oil drilling, there is no room for error and no time or money for trial. With elevated costs for large diameter hole drilling the industry has shown a shift to smaller diameter holes; consequently increasing the demand for smaller diameter and more complex tooling which can assist in drill orientation and positioning. As the Millennium approaches the oil-drilling industry shows growing demand for low cost tools which help to increase drilling accuracy, provide information on the profile of the finished hole, and allow accurate multi-drilling alignment. This is notably true in applications where GPS can not provide valid directional or total orientation information. AOSI, (Advanced Orientation Systems, Inc.), a Linden, New Jersey, USA based manufacturer of tilt sensors, inclinometers and electronic compasses has the answer to these questions. By completing the development of a miniature Three-Axis Tilt Compensated Compass, which can easily fit into a standard 1.2" diameter tool, AOSI puts oil-drilling engineers back in control.

Products & Services
Tilt sensors, switches and inclinometers generate an artificial horizon and measure angular tilt with respect to this horizon. They are used in cameras, aircraft flight controls, automobile security systems, and special switches. Search by Specification | Learn more about Tilt Sensors, Switches and Inclinometers
