Gyrodata’s Announces New SQ3 Quality Assurance Initiative
HOUSTON--Gyrodata Incorporated, a worldwide leader in high-technology wellbore placement services for the energy industry, today announced the introduction of the SQ3 Quality Assurance Initiative — an internal certification program designed to take quality management to the next level.
“Gyrodata is all about quality, and this is an important initiative for both the company and our customers”
“Gyrodata is all about quality, and this is an important initiative for both the company and our customers,” said Stephen Klopp, Gyrodata’s Chairman and CEO. “SQ3 integrates every control aspect of the quality objective, from design and engineering to manufacturing and field deployment, so that all employees understand their link in the service quality chain. SQ3 has been initiated worldwide to all districts and employees, and we expect to soon see the bar raised for a new standard of excellence in the industry.”
The SQ3 initiative is both an informational program and a certification process for the company’s field operations. When a completed survey report is approved and stamped with the SQ3 Seal, both Gyrodata employees and its customers will be informed of the technology and the exact processes and procedures applied to assure a high level of performance. SQ3 provides Gyrodata’s customers with the confidence to make critical wellbore placement decisions safely and accurately.
The SQ³ program highlights three main aspects of Gyrodata’s services relevant to quality assurance:
- System Quality – Precision engineered gyroscopic systems, designed and manufactured in-house for the harsh wellbore environment, lay the groundwork for field accuracy and reliability.
- Survey Quality – Data accuracy through standardized calibration and modeling procedures.
- Service Quality – Controlled processes and procedures required for SQ³ certification from service call-out to return-to-base.
SQ³ documentation goes beyond the issue of Gyrodata’s quality of service by providing additional useful information. As a resource, SQ³ points customers to industry-recognized survey performance models for safe and effective well planning; and it discusses the latest industry perspective on survey accuracy with references and links to studies and technical papers. Overall, SQ³ not only informs and provides certification to instill confidence in survey performance, it also serves as an educational/training mechanism for both employees and clients.
Gyrodata has headquarters in Houston, Texas and engineering and manufacturing facilities in Houston and Westlake, California in the United States; and in Aberdeen, Cumbria, and Cambridge in the United Kingdom. The company develops and deploys premium wellbore surveying and guidance systems and rotary steerable drilling services—with a central focus on providing safe drilling operations and increased recovery of oil and gas reserves through highly accurate wellbore placement.
