Description

The DeviDip is a simplified version of the DeviTool Standard with the same rugged design but a shorter length. The DeviDip can be run within core barrels whilst drilling and so is a good choice for core orientation systems (it is part of the DeviCore system).

The DeviDip uses three high-accuracy accelerometers. It records inclination, toolface, temperature, gravity vector and battery status. Time intervals can be set from 5 seconds upwards.

The DeviDip has been used for orientation of tools at inclinations less than 1.5 degrees from the vertical with perfect results. The tool is used as a steering tool for the DeviDrill, but can also be used together with other instruments, such as wedges and downhole motors.

The DeviDip communicates with a PDA by wired connection for speed and security. The results can be viewed on the PDA screen in field once the data is downloaded from the tool. The data can thereafter be further processed in DeviSoft, analyzed, plotted and reported to the client.
