APS’s Azimuthal Gamma Ray (AZG™) Sensor enables accurate geosteering by adding imaging capabilities to existing APS measurement while drilling/logging while drilling (MWD/LWD) measurements. This new sensor is designed specifically for low power consumption and is backward compatible with APS’s MWD/LWD systems, including the WPR™ resistivity sensor.
This system provides protection against the high levels of shock and vibration experienced during drilling, while providing maximum measurement sensitivity to the formation.
