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 as it allowed the drill string to stay in the borehole during steering and coring.
Devico AS has developed its 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 through the drill bit.
To survey in magnetic environments, Devico developed a strain gauge-based survey tool named DeviFlex which was made available in 2004. An instrument using gyroscopic sensors, DeviGyro, was released in 2019.
