SIG-401 Directional & Drilling Dynamics Device

Sigdrill’s next-generation, fully integrated SIG-401 nstrument ( SIG-401 ) directional module provides precise and dependable information to help operators maximize drilling efficiency and payzone exposure. The durable, single chassis improves reliability and accuracy. It includes an orientation module, downhole processor, and electronic power supply to control MWD/LWD systems, such as pulser, gamma, and resistivity.

The SIG-401 directional stability and accuracy is unmatched in the industry, and incorporates Sigdrill’s proven high-temperature electronics, and superior magnetometers and accelerometers. At the heart of Sigdrill’s Short MWD System, it is also ideal for use in many legacy and proprietary systems and is compatible with standard pulsers and gamma sensors.
