Logging While Drilling
Surelog-IPZIG - At-Bit Inclination and Image Gamma Ray Tool
Operating directly behind the drill bit, the iPZIG at-bit inclination and gamma ray tool provides real-time measurements that reduce directional drilling risk in critical hole sections. The early indication of changes in lithology, delivered by the gamma ray log, helps to accurately land horizontal wells. Designed to operate as two separate subs, a lower sub, located directly above the drill bit, acquires data and transmits data to the upper sub, located above the drilling mud motor. The upper sub provides communication to measurement/logging-while-drilling systems.
SureLog - Model iDNSC - Bulk Density Imaging Tool
The SureLogTM tool family includes the iDNSC*. The iDNSC tool provides a bulk density image along with traditional bulk density, neutron porosity and PE curves. Tool standoff and hole cali-per measurements are also provided by a pair of ultrasonic transducers which can also be used to environmentally correct the neutron porosity curve. The iDNSC density imaging tool records data in an industry leading extra high density format on a large memory module to enable high quality well statistics for calculation of the bulk density curve and the bulk density image. The extra-high resolution imaging tool extracts the detail contained in this large number of nuclear counts by a combination of various techniques providing clarity in 128 sectors, a feature not yet seen on other on density images.
