ParaTrack-2 is an underground magnetic tracking system with unique capabilities. Rather than using a conventional surface guidewire or coil, the surface deployment of ParaTrack-2 will often use a guidewire along centerline with a return cable placed offline so its magnetic signal is negligible. In specific circumstances, the centerline cable may be grounded on each side of the crossing, negating the need for a return path with its significant deployment time. Today, ParaTrack-2 is the only tracking system able to utilize many different AC magnetic sources. Not only are guidewires on the surface and underground used, but the Rotating Magnet Sub, the Axial Magnet Sub and the AC Beacon all requiring no guidewires are commonly used. One or several of these choices will fit the exacting requirements of most horizontal drilling projects.
