Q. WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN BGS ON MY RIG? A. The BGS was developed to make steering calls for conventional, bent motor directional assemblies. H&P needs a data input from the MWD provider into an EDR, and then that feed is sent to the on-site or remote computers via WITS0 or WITSML. When a directional survey is captured by the MWD provider and transmitted to the EDR, H&P then imports it to computers, where the algorithms calculate the best course forward while following the guidelines provided by the operator.
