Safran Sensing Technologies Energy Accelerometer

Safran Sensing Technologies Switzerland are a crucial part of the Energy market, especially when it comes to the Oil and Gas sector, where accelerometers are widely used. The accelerometers are utilized in drilling operations for measuring the inertia (directional drilling), the vibration during drilling or the wellbore angular tilt. 

Energy market system requirements for MEMS accelerometers are challenging : reliability and accuracy under harsh conditions – translated into excellent bias performances and shock survivability up to 6’000 g, high operating temperatures, low consumption (<10mW) and a very small size.

Energy market applications for Safran Sensing Technologies Switzerland MEMS accelerometers:

• MWD and LWD – measurement/logging while drilling
• Shallow/deep subsurface reservoirs monitoring
• Oil rig structural integrity monitoring
• Preventive maintenance of drilling tools through vibration measurement
• Wind Turbines
