History

Launched in 1988 by Mr. Viktor Tokle.

Introduction

The DeviDrill, Devico AS directional core barrel and rotary steerable system, was launched in 1988. It was in use until 2001 when the wireline version of the DeviDrill was introduced. The new version was a big improvement since it allows the drill string to stay in the borehole during steering and coring.

Devico AS has developed their own set of borehole survey instruments to be used together with the DeviDrill. In 2002 a miniature version of the survey tool was launched that made it possible to survey throughout the drill bit.

To survey in magnetic environment, Devico has developed a strain gauge based survey tool named DeviFlex. This tool became available in 2004.
