Over the past 3 months Southwest Exploration (SwExp) has been excited to be the first company to test and evaluate the new wireline NMR logging tools for groundwater applications. With the help of SwExp, a prototype version of the 3.5” wireline probe, (JPX350 and JPX525) were run successfully in July 2016 on two separate wells […]
Two weeks ago, Truck 800 adventured into northern Nevada to do high-temperature Geophysical logging. This expedition was in support of a company exploring for conditions suitable to geothermal well production. The logs collected were Natural Gamma, 3-Arm Caliper, Temperature, and Acoustic Televiewer (ABI-43). The high-temperature ABI-43 tool was pushed near its upper temperature limit and […]
Recently our newest logging vehicle, Truck 310, made a trip for Geophysical logging at a water production well in southern Arizona. A comprehensive suite of logs was run including: Caliper, Nat. Gamma, Temperature, Fluid Resistivity, Neutron, Density, Electric logs, Full Waveform Sonic, and Acoustic/Optical Televiewers. The logging tools were run to a depth of approximately […]
Last week Truck 310 was out in the East Valley doing geophysical logging to a depth of approximately 1500 ft. The geophysical logs collected included Density, E-Logs, Full Waveform Sonic, and Acoustic Televiewer. The client for the project is doing local and regional scale water aquifer characterization and the data we collected will be a […]
Just before the Holiday season Southwest Exploration sent Truck 300 south to a mine site near Tucson, Arizona. The project involved doing a Deviation Survey in a horizontal well to a depth of 800 ft. The well borehole was drilled primarily for dewatering purposes at the mine. In order to successfully run the Deviation Survey, […]
In the past few weeks, when time has permitted, we have been upgrading two of our trucks (310 and 900 – bottom picture) with new 2 Horsepower motors. In the picture below, Michael Quinones (left) and Kevin Mitchell (right) work to find the optimal position in the logging cab for the new motor/winch combination. When […]
