Accurately measure the earths gravity and magnetic fields simultaneously
to determine the inclination (drift-angle) and azimuth of a borehole Use same component as single multishot. Record multiple survey records while drilling the well. replace conventional mechanical compass-style units with increased accuracy The unit contains a watch that is spring wound and uses the power of the spring to operate a timer cam. The multishot tool is usually dropped down the drillpipe and landed in the nonmagnetic drill collar. During the trip out, a survey is taken every 90 ft every stand.
More closely spaced stations could be obtained by stopping the pipe more often, and waiting for a picture.
A stopwatch at the surface is synchronized with the instrument watch.
