  • Phase estimation from rotating sensors to get a toolface
    Patent number: 9062497
    Abstract: Measurements made by a rotating sensor on a bottomhole assembly are used to determine the toolface angle of the BHA. The method includes using a phase locked loop (PLL) to determine a phase difference between the sensor output and a reference signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2015
    Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED
