SMART DATA ACQUISITION FOR GYROCOMPASS APPLICATIONS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250067166 titled 'SMART DATA ACQUISITION FOR GYROCOMPASS APPLICATIONS
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for making gyroscopic azimuth measurements includes estimating a pitch angle and a roll angle of a gyroscopic surveying tool in a wellbore; determining a measurement duration for each of a plurality of gyroscope measurements from the estimated pitch and roll angles; making each of the plurality of gyroscope measurements at the determined measurement duration when the gyroscope is disposed at a corresponding plurality of rotational positions in the tool housing; and computing an azimuth of the wellbore from the plurality of gyroscope measurements.
