Tools & Technology
Standard Directional Services designs, manufactures, and deploys a comprehensive suite of advanced directional drilling and measurement technologies engineered for precision, durability, and high-performance execution in the most demanding drilling environments. Unlike many service providers, our core downhole systems are developed and manufactured in-house—allowing full control over engineering design, quality assurance, validation testing, and continuous product advancement.
All equipment is manufactured, tested, and certified to internationally recognized safety and performance standards, ensuring reliability across conventional, HPHT, SAGD, mining, offshore, geothermal, and remote drilling applications.
Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Systems
Our proprietary MWD platforms are engineered for high-speed telemetry, rugged survivability, and real-time data accuracy. Capabilities include:
Directional surveys (inclination, azimuth, toolface)
Continuous and memory gamma ray systems
High-temperature and harsh-environment configurations
Advanced mud pulse telemetry systems
Shock, vibration, and drilling dynamics monitoring
Downhole diagnostics and performance analytics
Optimized power systems and ruggedized electronics
These systems provide precise wellbore positioning and enhanced drilling performance in complex well profiles.
Gyro While Drilling (GWD) & Advanced Survey Systems
Standard provides Gyro While Drilling (GWD) systems for high-accuracy wellbore positioning in magnetically disturbed environments. Our gyro capabilities include:
True north-seeking surveys independent of magnetic interference
SAGD pad drilling anti-collision assurance
