The standard method of surveying oil and gas wells relied on antiquated mechanisms, unchanged for more than 75 years. They functioned so poorly that there were many attempts to create an electronic alternative — all failed. That is until one of the leaders in the industry contacted FinishLinePDS to help close the development gap. Together we solved a 75-year-old problem in a matter of months.
