Abstract

See full text

A system for tracking a drill bit. The system uses a self-propelled autonomous receiver. The receiver has an antenna assembly, a processor, and a propulsion system. The antenna assembly detects the magnetic field from an underground transmitter and generates an antenna signal. The processor is programmed to receive the antenna signal and generate a command signal. The propulsion system receives the command signal and moves the receiver to a position above the transmitter. Once in the desired position, the antenna assembly measures the magnetic field to determine the location of the drill bit along borepath.
