Reliability. Accuracy. Value.

At MicroTesla we are committed to designing, developing, manufacturing and calibrating the most reliable, accurate and valuable directional steering instruments used in the oil and gas industry today.

PRODUCTS WITH PRECISION In 2014, MicroTesla will commercialize the world’s first 8-axis, skewed array directional instrument for improved survey accuracy with built-in survey-quality management routines. MicroTesla offers a complete range of downhole magnetometer-based technologies to meet your application requirements. Whether you need drop-in replacements for your existing sensor fleet, directional sensor packages, or high-temperature smart directional modules, you can expect experienced engineering and advanced technology. MicroTesla products are continuously being improved, revised and upgraded. The new XE Chassis offered in the MDSS, MDM, MDME and 1” MDM tools is the strongest chassis ever designed by MicroTesla.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICES

Calibration MicroTesla operates a facility that has (2) three-meter, three-axis Helmholtz coils. We continuously monitor the Earth’s magnetic field and the local environment to ensure that our calibrations are as accurate as possible. If significant disturbances of the Earth’s magnetic field occur, the calibration activities are briefly suspended. Although we can calibrate any magnetic directional instrument, we specialize in MicroTesla sensors and modules. Instruments can be calibrated up to 200˚C as specified by the customer.

Repair The troubleshooting and repair of MicroTesla directional steering instruments is performed by trained, experienced technicians. Repair and rework is done to the original equipment specifications. We are committed to providing a fair value to our customers during a tool repair cycle. Our repair and calibration cycle time is 30 days or less for all tools, pending customer approval. MicroTesla electronics assembly technicians are qualified and certified for a wide variety of soldering techniques including SN63, SN96, HMP and Gold solder.

Environmental Testing MicroTesla uses a detailed qualification and instrument testing program to quantify our directional instrument performance. We qualify every product design with thermal soak, thermal cycling, vibration and vibration-at-temperature testing. Each tool sold by MicroTesla is rated at 175˚C, unless the customer specifies the use of 150˚C accelerometers. Any MicroTesla tool equipped with SiFlex2 accelerometers is calibrated and tested to 125˚C.

Reliability. Accuracy. Value.

EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING

The MicroTesla engineering team is dedicated to developing technology designs that are reliable, accurate and durable. These designs are optimized to ensure reliable manufacturing, accurate calibration and timely service. Downhole directional instrument design Surface and embedded software application programming Solid model mechanical design Calibration modeling theory and programming Environmental qualification and testing If a product performance anomaly or failure occurs, we immediately focus our engineering resources to duplicate and quantify the problem. As soon as the problem is identified and understood, a collateral effect study is completed. A detailed summary of corrective action options is developed and then an “Optimal System” course of action is determined. These corrective actions are quickly implemented and qualified to ensure instrument performance and customer satisfaction.

OUR HISTORY MicroTesla LTD started in 2000, providing directional instrument repair and calibration services to companies using Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tools. We grew from a repair and calibration service to a subcontract manufacturer of directional steering instruments. From there, our expertise and business grew to include the design of a drop-in replacement directional sensor and then to the development of the industry standard magnetometer and our own directional steering instruments. MicroTesla is committed to providing the oil and gas industry with the very highest level of directional instrument performance based on our principles of reliability, accuracy and value. MicroTesla provides the industry with magnetometers, SiFlex2 accelerometers, analog directional sensors and fully optimized directional steering modules. In 2012, MicroTesla introduced

the high-resolution MDS for wireline steering applications. We are proud to maintain our ISO 9001 Certification and actively follow the process goals to achieve continuous improvement in our designs and in our engineering and manufacturing practices. In 2013 we deployed a new annealing oven for magnetometer manufacturing, and we built an additional magnetometer winder for improved product volume. We have commenced site preparation on a 20-acre parcel of land in Northwest Houston, which includes a new roadway extension. MicroTesla is also constructing a new facility with an 11,000-square-foot, non-magnetic calibration building. An 18,500-square-foot manufacturing and engineering building will follow shortly after the calibration building construction.
