Powered Swivel Joint
Responding to real-time surface commands, the Powered Swivel Joint (PSJ) rotates guns or tools to a precise relative bearing. A simple user interface allows users to set an offset should the gun string not be aligned with the PSJ, and to confirm when the gun is properly aligned.
A high resolution encoder together with a low-side detector is used to monitor the relative bearing of the tool. Everything is fully shock-mounted and tested to withstand perforating shock.
The tool can also be supplied in a minimal format allowing clients to install their own control system, or as a complete tool which is fully compatible with the full range of Owen Instrumentation Ballistics Delivery System tools.
