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
Well drilling tools are used to drill wells and perform excavation activities for water, oil, and natural gas exploration.
Compasses and magnetometers are used to provide a directional bearing component centered on the north and south magnetic poles or to determine the magnetic properties of materials.
Drilling units and tapping units are machine tool components for automated drilling and tapping applications. They usually consist of a drilling head, chuck or collet, motor, and in-feed cylinder or mechanism.
Navigational instruments and avionics include GPS devices, compasses, chronometers, radar units and other instruments for orientation, relative position and absolute position (longitude / latitude).
Augers are large diameter, drill-like devices that are used for drilling holes into the earth, stone and pavement as well as moving grain and water in certain applications.
