Brand New, High Powered Coal Geophysics Tool Arrives October 2011

admin — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:33:09 +0000

The RDCL brand new downhole geophysics system is expected to be fully operational by the end of October, 2011. The system is equipped to run density, guard resistivity, calliper, natural gamma and full-wave sonic logs.

These brand new tools come with the latest calibration equipment and high-powered density source to maximise data quality, even through steel casing.

Processing is done using the latest version of WellCAD, with in-house geology support available for QA and your interpretation needs.

Acoustic televiewer (ATV) logging is underway in the Philippines in partnership with GXD Supply. This technology is rapidly emerging as an important analytical tool and we have designed our system in New Zealand to be fully compatible with the ATV tool.
