PREFACE
This manual is a guide to the successful operation of Devicos DeviFlex nonmagnetic surveying tool. It contains information which is necessary for understanding the operating principle, characteristics and application of the instrument. The manual consists of four sections: Section One Mechanical Design Section Two Inspection, Assembling, and Disassembling Section Three Operation and Survey Section Four Maintenance and Supporting Information

For the effective application and optimum operation of DeviFlex multishot tool, it is recommended that the information contained in this manual is fully appreciated and understood.

INTRODUCTION
Your DeviFlex is the non-magnetic multishot tool from the DeviTool family of surveying tools. It is based on Devico direction sensor technology. The tool is an easy to use electronically based multishot with programmable station spacing including virtually continuous reading and providing high accuracy. The borehole 3D trajectory coordinates, can be obtained by measuring borehole azimuth and inclination. This is done by surveying the borehole from surface to the bottom hole or depth of interest. The use of a suitable survey instrument to measure those values is of utmost importance. Measurements are performed at predetermined depths/stations at which the azimuth and inclination angles are taken. By using this data, the borehole trajectory can be calculated and constructed. It can be presented graphically at 3 perpendicular planes (Elevation - North, Elevation - East and North - East). Moving a probe along the hole and sensing the movement of the probe relative to one or more frames of reference is accomplished in order to surveying a borehole. It may include the earths gravitational field, magnetic field or other inertial reference, and/or by sensing the distortion or bending of the housing of the probe itself. The surveying instruments are subdivided into two groups. The first major group consists of surveying instruments that use the earths magnetic field and are based on compass or magnetometers. Those instruments are known as magnetic instruments. The second major group consists of surveying instruments that use other reference system, but do not use the earths magnetic field. They are using gyro, laser beam or measuring distortion of sensitive beam. This group is called non-magnetic surveying instruments. DeviFlex does not use the earths magnetic field to determine the azimuth of the hole.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

SECTION ONE Mechanical Design

1.

DeviFlex Mechanical Design

The DeviFlex is an electronically operated mechanical instrument, designed to survey boreholes. It is a PDA operated multishot that stores measured data in an internal memory. In this chapter the instruments applications, specification and design will be discussed.

1.1. DeviFlex applications and specification

The DeviFlex surveying tool can only be used inside the drill rods. Environment where this is necessary is: Cased boreholes Surveying boreholes adjacent to steel or other objects that locally alter the direction of the earth's magnetic field. Surveying boreholes in geo-magnetic disturbed field.

1.2. DeviFlex components

The DeviFlex (Figure 1) instrument consists of two main units - Front and Rear unit. The main components of the front unit are: Bull nose Landing ring Shock absorber Front centralizer Front extension body The rear unit consists of: Middle centralizer Rear extension body, with direction sensor and battery unit Rear centralizer with communication port Spearhead and pumping gasket

Figure 1 DeviFlex main components.

All assembled for operation the DeviFlex length is 4.5m. 1.2.1. Bull nose landing ring and shock absorber The bull noose and the landing ring form the front part of the DeviFlex. The bull nose leads the tool while running in hole. The landing ring sets the instrument to the landing shoulder of the wireline core barrel and avoids the instrument from entering the core barrel. The landing ring comes in various dimensions depending on the drill string design.

Figure 2 Bull nose landing ring and shock absorber

The shock absorber minimizes the landing shock and movement shocks during a survey run. It protects the tool from mechanical deformations and the electronics from high dynamic loads when the DeviFlex lands on the landing shoulder. The bull nose, the landing ring and shock absorber are forming a whole unit when mobilizing or demobilizing the surveying tool. 1.2.2. Front extension body The front extension body is part of the front unit and consists of a tube which is threaded in both ends. The front extension body connects the front centralizer with the middle centralizer.

1.2.3. Centralizers The DeviFlex has three sets of centralizers. Each centralizer consists of centralizer body, damper and three wheels. Two of the wheels are mounted directly on the centralizer body, whilst the third wheel is mounted on a damper body. The damper is fixed to the centralizer by two bolts and is spring loaded to keep the wheels pressed firmly towards the inside of the drill pipe or casing. Both the centralizers and the centralizer wheels are changeable in order to fit to different inside diameters (See appendix A.1.).

Figure 3 Rear centralizer

1.3. Rear extension body

1.3.1. Direction sensor The direction sensor is the heart of the surveying tool. During surveying the sensor measures the curvature of the hole at instrument location. Signals from the direction sensor, obtained during surveying, are sent to the electronics for storing and further processing. 1.3.2. Electronics The tool uses three accelerometers to measure the inclination and instrument tool face. The electronics is microprocessor controlled and collects the data obtained by the sensors during survey run. The electronics operates between 6 and 9 Volts. 1.3.3. Battery unit The battery unit consists of 6 NiMh rechargeable batteries. The batteries are charged by connecting the charger to the communication port on the rear centralizer of DeviFlex. The charger will automatically sense when the batteries are fully charged and enter a trickle charge mode. Charge the batteries before surveying.

1.4. Rear centralizer with communication and charger connector

The rear centralizer has a built in communication port for connection to the PDA and for charging the rechargeable battery pack of the DeviFlex. During a survey the communication port is protected by a set of O-rings and a seal sleeve. The maximum outside water pressure should not exceed 300 bar.

Figure 4 Communication and charger connector located on rear centralizer

1.5. Spearhead & pumping gasket

The pumping gasket and the spearhead are mounted at the rear centralizer of the survey tool. The pumping gasket gets the DeviFlex to the bottom of the hole by pumping the tool in the drill string. It contains a changeable rubber packing element.

The DeviFlex comes with a standard Longyear core barrel spearhead.

SECTION TWO Inspection, Assembling and Disassembling.

2.

Inspection, assembling and disassembling

Your DeviFlex tool was engineered for ease of use, accuracy, and reliability. The instrument was carefully inspected and tested at Devico AS workshop before shipping and should be free of scratches and in proper working condition upon receipt. You should, however, inspect the instrument for any damage that might have occurred in transit. If the transport box or the cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked and the instrument has been mechanically and electrically inspected. If there is any mechanical damage or the contents are incomplete, promptly notify the Devico office, representative or dealer. Please notify the carrier as well as the Devico offices, representatives or dealers in case of damage of shipping container. Save the shipping materials for the carrier. Figure 6 shows the break point between the front and rear unit. Further disassembling must never be performed since this may damage and cause malfunctioning of the tool. Only qualified Devico AS personnel can component check and make eventual replacements and repairs if required. In order to achieve long lasting and trouble free use of the DeviFlex tool special care must be taken. The information in this chapter covers the tool on-site inspection as well as assembling and disassembling before a survey run.

2.1. DeviFlex Inspection

2.1.1. First time inspection When you are unpacking the DeviFlex for the first time, make sure that the options that you ordered have been installed and/or included in your system. When you open the box, you will find the DeviFlex disassembled.
Do not open tool in any other point than break point!

Figure 6 Break point is on the front side of the tool.

2.1.2. Regular DeviFlex inspection Before and after use, the DeviFlex tool should be subject to inspection. The inspection is aimed to locate any visible damages that might cause instrument malfunction. The following should be done: All visible components should be inspected. Check the O-rings under seal sleeve (see figure 4). Check pump seal and spear head (see figure 5). Check that wheels are easily turned. If not, clean and grease. Check that the spring-loaded wheel container can be moved.

2.2. DeviFlex Assembling

When you open the transport box, you will find the tool demobilized. All you have to do before a survey is to fit together the front and rear DeviFlex units, and assemble the shock absorber and spear head assembly. Before assembling the units, threads should be cleaned and carefully inspected for damages. Make sure the threads are free from dirt and the O-rings are in place and not damaged. Thin film grease should be applied to the threads. Use the enclosed spanners to avoid damage on parts. Check the alignment of the spring loaded wheel on the front centralizer. After assembling, it should be on a line with the other two centralizers (See Figure 7).

Aligned centralizers
Figure 7 Aligned centralizers

2.2.1. Wheels The DeviFlex is equipped with wheels that correspond with your drill rods. It is very important that you use wheels with the right dimension. There should be some resistance when you move the tool back and forth inside the rods. See attachment A.1. for detailed description of wheel sizes in various drill rods and casing.

Figure 8 Wheel container

2.2.2. Changing spring loaded wheel Unscrew the two Allen screws on the spring loaded wheel container. Remove the wheel shaft and replace the wheel. A thin layer of bearing grease should be added to the wheel shaft.

2.2.3. Changing fixed wheels Unscrew the Allen screw. Remove the wheel shaft using a 2mm alley key. Add some bearing grease on wheel shaft and assemble the wheel.

2.3. Centralizer sleeves

For larger diameter holes, a centralizer sleeve has to be used. They come in 3 different dimensions: N-, H- and P-size. See attachment A.1. for which sleeves should be used in various drill rods and casing. The sleeves come with longer wheel shafts, different screw lengths and longer springs for the spring-loaded wheel. To add a centralizer sleeve, first remove the wheels and spring loaded wheel container on the original centralizer. Use the 6 setscrews to assemble the centralizer sleeve and add the wheels, new springs, new wheel shafts and screws. If the wheels are difficult to assemble, loosen the 6 setscrews and try again, re-tighten when the wheels are in place.

Figure 9 Centralizer sleeve

2.4. DeviFlex Disassembling

Disassemble the tool at break point (Figure 6) using the open-end spanner and the special pipe-wrench. Remove the front shock absorber and the spear head assembly. Before placing the DeviFlex into its transport box, clean all parts, grease the wheels and put thread protection caps back on.

SECTION THREE Operation and Survey

3.

DeviFlexTM operation and survey

This chapter covers the basic operation of the DeviFlex and describes how to effectively do a DeviFlex survey.

3.1. DeviFlex operation

The DeviFlex survey tool uses digitized signals from state-of-the-art electronics, accelerometers, direction sensor and a microprocessor to sample and store data. Data from the accelerometers are used to determine the inclination of the tool with respect to vertical, whilst the direction sensor measures the curvature of the hole. This data is stored into the instruments internal memory and further dumped in the control device (PDA). After a measurement download, the curvature of the hole is transformed into a change in azimuth and a change in inclination. The sum of inclination changes obtained by the direction sensor may be compared to the accelerometer data recorded. This option allows to quality assurance data gathered during surveying. A second data security system is based on the inspection of the magnitude of the gravity vector. If the gravity vector deviates from the normal value at any point, the instrument has, most probably, not been stationary during the measurement at that survey station. In practice this allows sorting correct and unreliable data, if any. The DeviFlex survey tool is capable of taking 1984 shots in any orientation. The data from the tool is delivered to the operator in numerical form after ended survey.

3.2. Running a DeviFlex survey

This chapter describes different methods of running a borehole survey using the DeviFlex surveying tool. In general, surveying with DeviFlex is very easy. There are certain procedures, which originate from the tool design and principles, however they are easy to understand and follow in order to achieve most favourable results. It is important to be aware of that borehole surveying using DeviFlex requires 1) correct start coordinates and 2) a continuous survey over the interval of interest. Those two points are dictated by the principle of the tool i.e. it measures the directions at each station relative to the previous station, thus the entire borehole/borehole interval. Borehole survey includes several steps. They are: Preparation Surface check DeviFlex assembly Setting the tool for the survey run. Run in hole and positioning the tool at measurement stations.

Downloading raw data and data transfer to PC. Survey data manipulations.

3.2.1. Preparation Charge DeviFlex, Bluetooth modem and PDA before survey. 3.2.2. Surface check Check the following: Drill rig fastening, mast, hydraulic, mud pump, manifold, hose, swivel, ect. Wire line winch and wire used for the survey job. Borehole collar and rotation head/packer if any, water inflow, ect. Availability and accuracy of depthometer/wire counter to measure correct depth. Drill rods inner diameter (ID). In case different sizes (drill rods with different wall thickness in the drill string tally or external upset rods like for instance Boart Longyear composite wireline rod) make sure the DeviFlex passes through. Note! This will influence survey accuracy. Ask drill site personnel for drill rods wear, rust, scales, deformations and damages. Assure there is some water in the drill string. If not, fill it to reduce the DeviFlex landing impact or, if possible, use wireline to lower the DeviFlex. 3.2.3. DeviFlex assembly Assemble the DeviFlex as instructed in chapter 6.2. Clean treads, remove scale or rust/sand carefully and apply grease. Remember that the DeviFlex wheels should be aligned after assembly. Check the following Check for damages and deformation on the tool. Overshot type/size, make sure it fits the DeviFlex spearhead. Size and wear of pumping seal. Wheels size, wear and free rotation; grease if necessary. Make sure the wheels and centralizers fit the drill rods used. Landing (stop) ring size for the shock absorber. If Surveying in Hagby or Atlas Copco drill rods, its possible to leave the inner tube inside to let the instrument land on the latching unit. In this case, the landing ring is not necessary. Do an online check. Battery status should be above 7.2V. When the DeviFlex is assembled, instruct drill site crew about the survey technology in order to avoid miss coordination, injuries, instrument damages, etc. 3.2.4. Starting the tool for the survey run Follow the instruction as described in appendix A.2. to start the DeviFlex before the survey run.

Make sure to set an appropriate Time interval to avoid the memory from filling up before the survey is completed. Normally a 15 or 20 sec Time interval is the optimal. See table 2 for DeviFlex operational time with different Time intervals. Start depth is calculated as Borehole depth distance from hole bottom to landing ring. Depth interval should be set to 2, 3 or 4 meters. At normal conditions 4 m interval provides good quality survey data, while in boreholes with strong deviation (steered holes) 2 m interval is recommended. 3 m can be used when survey is done by pulling out the drill rods.

3.2.5. Run in hole and positioning the tool at measurement stations When pumping down the instrument, slow down close to bottom to avoid hard landing and stuck DeviFlex. There are several ways to run a DeviFlex survey. The recommended method is to run the instrument inside the drill string. The smooth and flat surface of the drill string allows for easy running the tool and performing the survey. The survey may be performed on the way down the hole or when the tool is pulled out of the hole. Out of the hole has proven to be most efficient and accurate. The survey may then be done while pulling the tool out with the wireline. With defined intervals of 4m or less the pulling is stopped, and a measurement is taken while the tool is standing still. If desired, the interval can be changed during the survey. Highest accuracy is achieved with short intervals (2m) in steered sections and long intervals (4m) in straighter sections. As an alternative, the survey can also be done by pulling out the drill string. A survey interval of 3 meter is then most convenient. Most accurate results are achieved if the drill string is rotated briefly between each station, i.e. between each measurement. If the borehole is close to vertical, i.e. inclination of -87 to -90, rotation is not recommended.

3.2.6. Downloading survey data and data transfer to PC Follow the instruction as described in appendix A.2. to download, check, edit and transfer the survey data to a PDA. Check the quality of the results by comparing the inclination with the sum inclination. The difference should be less than about 2 per 300 surveyed meters. Another check is the gravity vector which should stay fairly constant at every survey station. Disassemble the DeviFlex, clean carefully, put and store in the transport box. 3.2.7. Survey data manipulations Use DeviSoft or other software to manipulate the data and report the survey results. Contact the geologist to get the start coordinates of the surveyed borehole or use other method (total station, GPS etc.) to establish the start coordinates. The accuracy of the final results depends very much on the accuracy of the start coordinates and start direction.
