Geophysical Logging Suites

Geophysical Logging Suites

Key Benefits

Geophysical logging suites offer a wide range of benefits, including all of the following:

  • Defining subsurface lithologic stratigraphy
  • Aid in water well construction
  • Correlate with existing data
  • A permanent record of the borehole

Capabilities

  • With the addition of a specific geophysical logging suite to a water or mineral exploration boring or production well, the geologist or hydrologist can more confidently pick the most productive zones with greater ease.
  • Five operational truck units to serve the southwestern U.S.
  • Portable geophysical logging units utilized to travel locally in 4WD vehicles to helicopters or shipment to travel overseas to satisfy most needs.
  • Increasing staff load to cover those log jobs logging the hole safely.
  • Geophysical logging engineers that can design basic and advanced logging suites for your specific needs.
  • State-of-the-art logging suites for high resolution detail and flow profiling.
  • Geophysical logging tools range in diameter from 1 1/8 to 2 1/2 inches to depths of 10,000+ feet (or 3,000 psi).
