The gas detection instruments
used by GeoDynamic Well Logging were designed and manufactured
by personnel within our company. Our instrument designer is widely
known throughout the industry and is known for the dependability and
accuracy of his instruments. A high degree of standardization and
accuracy is attained by using instruments of the same type in each
of our logging units. They are fully self contained, solid state,
and feature complete computer integration with readouts of depth,
time, lag, gas units and sensor voltage along with an independent
power backup system in the event of a rig power failure. These
parameters are all easily monitored at a glance. The computer
controls the transition from low gas to high gas with a high degree
of accuracy, without the need for less accurate air dilution
methods. The instruments and computer combination are outfitted
with multiple alarms including high gas, low gas, drilling breaks,
depth, and sample lag. All alarms are fully adjustable through all
ranges, to alert the logging engineer and rig crews of any changes.
The computer now acts as the recorder to give multiple views of all
data (including drill time, total gas, chromatograph, and lag time)
and keeps all data from the well at your fingertips for fast easy
reference and plotting.
After
multiple refinements of our gas detection instruments, we have
standardized a much smaller design which is not only portable, but
completely interchangeable between laboratories for fast easy repairs
in the event of an equipment malfunction. This decreases repair
time resulting in less lost data (a great asset in these fast
drilling times).
Our trailers are 8' X 31' mobile laboratories, which are equipped
with the standard set of gas detection instruments.
They
have ample working areas for sample washing, drying, examination,
and log correlation. They also have all the comforts necessary
for those long days and nights at the rig, such as; bunk area,
restroom, shower, and a kitchen area equipped with cook
stove,
refrigerator, and microwave oven. We also provide cellular
telephones (where cellular service is available) and satellite
internet service. They are also equipped with all of the necessary
computer equipment for fully automated data acquisition and e-mail of
log and other documents (see data acquisition at this
website).
