Non-Magnetic Drill Collar: Guaranteeing Precision in Wellbore Surveying
The Critical Challenge of Magnetic Interference
In directional drilling, standard steel components distort essential survey data, leading to:
-Inaccurate Azimuth Readings: Deviations exceeding 3° in high-latitude wells.
-Increased Collision Risks: Unreliable data raises the potential for wellbore collisions.
-Costly Corrective Actions: Requires additional runs and trajectory corrections, resulting in non-productive time.
Our Non-Magnetic Drill Collar delivers:
✅ Ultra-Low Magnetic Permeability (<1.005 μ) for survey-grade accuracy.
✅ Unmatched Trajectory Control, enabling precise well placement.
✅ Full Compliance with API and SY/T5144 standards.
