The QL40-SGR-2G is a new generation of borehole logging Spectral Gamma Tool. This new logging probe consists of a completely redesigned and ruggedized mechanical assembly, electronics and gamma module. It implements also the latest telemetry developments to enhance tool performance on long single and multi-conductor wirelines.

The QL40-GR probe measures the amount of gamma radiation occurring naturally within the formations crossed by a borehole. Gamma rays are produced mainly by isotopes of potassium, thorium, and uranium. The gamma log is widely used in the groundwater and mining industries to identify lithology and perform clay content analyses. The tool is supplied as a stackable sub of the Quick Link (QL) product line or it can be run as a standalone tool. The QL40-GR operates on any standard wireline (mono, 4 or 7 conductor, coaxial).

The 19GR Nano Gamma is the slimmest downhole gamma probe in existence today. At only 19.05 mm (0.75 inches) in diameter, it can be used inside Geoprobe push tubes to collect lithological information in soils or other hard to reach zones. It is operated as a standalone pulse probe on the Matrix acquisition system. The natural gamma probe measures the amount of gamma radiation occurring naturally within the formations crossed by a hole. Gamma rays are produced mainly by isotopes of potassium, thorium, and uranium. The gamma log is widely used in the groundwater and environmental industries to identify lithology and perform containment analyses.

The Mount Sopris Intelligent Winch Assembly (IWA) is smarter, stronger, safer, and more user-friendly, while holding more cable than any of its predecessors. With a powerful 6 HP servo motor and a 2,500-meter (8,200-feet) wireline capacity, this winch was designed to deliver more. Featuring an intuitive touchscreen user interface, all winch settings and system diagnostics are easily monitored and controlled – giving the operator better visibility, precise control, and greater safety.

Mount Sopris WNA and WFA Truck-Mounted Winches are rugged, field-tested logging hoists capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other tool in a borehole. They are designed to be mounted to a truck and can haul equipment loads up to 272 kg (600 lbs) at rates between 0 and 90 m/min (0 to 300 ft/min). These winches are optimal for boreholes between 1000 and 1800 meters (3280 ft to 5900 ft) in depth and support a wide variety of cable types.

The MX Winch is a portable logging winch capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other downhole logging tools in a borehole. The MX winch product line is comprised of the MXA, MXB and MXC winches. The system is equipped with a slip ring, cable level wind, depth measure head, mechanical brake, and connections through which surface data logger can communicate with the downhole probe.

The “Mini” winch is a logging hoist, capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other tools in a borehole. The system is equipped with slip ring and connections through which surface instrumentation can communicate with the probe. A precision measuring wheel and rotary encoder are also included to allow the amount of cable played out to be tracked. The cable is wrapped on the drum in even layers through a manually operated, tiller arm.

The SCOUT Pro is a new generation data logger. It offers the unique combination of high performance, ruggedness, and ease-of-use appreciated by many wireline logging operators worldwide. It supports all tools implementing ALT protocol including Mount Sopris/ALT tools with QuickLink (QL) Telemetry, and it is optimized for use with the 2nd generation Acoustic and Optical Televiewers – collecting data at baud rates up to 500,000 bps. The new system also offers compatibility with Geovista and Kuster probe lines. The hardware incorporates the latest electronic components with embedded systems controlled via the specially developed LoggerSuite Windows interface program.

The hardware incorporates the latest electronic components with embedded systems controlled via the specially developed LoggerSuite windows interface program. The system design philosophy is unique in two respects, firstly it is totally software controlled, and secondly it has been built to accommodate multi-vendor tool types. As standard the OPAL operates all tools using the ALT/MSI QuickLink (QL) protocol, and the PROBE PTX-Intellex and KUSTER telemetry communication protocols. It is also the preferred system to run the Borehole Magnetic Resonance (QL40-BMR60) developed by Qteq.

Mount Sopris offers the most versatile data acquisition system available – the MATRIX™ data logger. Able to accommodate multiple telemetry systems, the MATRIX logger can be used with all Mount Sopris probes, past and present, as well as many 3rd party tools. This versatility, combined with its compact size and dependable performance, has made MATRIX the most popular logger in the industry.
