The Advanced platform is aimed at minimizing labor costs; it is designed as a solid system to operate autonomously under normal conditions, tolerating noisy input, performing all major survey services, identifying survey issues, and alerting survey experts.
The Basic platform is a collection of standard services bundled under a single UI — without the integrated automation and self-management features of Advanced.
| Feature | MWD STD Basic | MWD STD Advanced |
|---|---|---|
| Geomagnetic Model | Global geomagnetic model | High-definition geomagnetic model calculates reference values along the trajectory to improve MSA stability and positioning accuracy |
| MSA Correction | Standard correction with “no-go” zones | Advanced multi-station correction without “no-go” zones, significantly improving accuracy and robustness |
| BHA Sag Correction | Standard correction | Advanced BHA sag correction utilizes a high-definition trajectory for improved sag compensation |
| MWD Survey Filtering | Manual | Automatic AI filter enables MSA to run without human supervision |
| Drillstring Interference Model | No | Physics-based model with good robustness improves MSA accuracy and quality control |
| Declination Verification | No | The app validates geomagnetic reference model output with B and Dip references calculated by advanced MSA algorithm |
| Quality Check | FAC | Automatic quality check on extended multiple key indicators: accuracy, convergence, steering analysis, dynamic FAC, etc. |
| MWD-Gyro Fusion | No | MWD-Gyro fusion algorithm combines MWD and gyro measurements for maximum accuracy |
| Toolcode Assignment | No | The app assigns toolcodes based on service level, MSA accuracy, geomagnetic model quality, and data quality |
