Equipment
Automated Mudlogging Systems' equipment is state of the art and specifically designed for trouble free operation. The following features assure top quality performance:
-
all major systems are redundant, extremely reliable, and continuously calibrated assuring high quality data
-
the equipment has been used for many years and is thoroughly field tested
-
drilling breaks in drilling as fast as a tenth of a minute per foot can easily be detected
-
gas sensors will not "saturate" and have a large dynamic range
-
a data telemetry system allows the monitoring of the drilling operation on a daily, as needed, or continuous basis
-
data can be telemetried via cellular telephone, INMARSAT or rig radio
-
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides power to the mudlogging unit when the rig generator is being serviced or repaired
-
UPS provides power for mudlogging on rigs where electrical generators are not used
- the mudlogging unit accepts power from all domestic and international voltages
-
a gas sampling system continuously monitors and adjusts for plugging and blockage
-
a strip chart record of depth, penetration rate, and total gas provides rig personnel with up to date information
-
a patented Compensated Gamma Ray Mudlog provides a correlation gamma ray while drilling
-
a computer processed mudlog is available prior to open hole logging so that shows can be efficiently evaluated on the spot
-
a patented Sample Snorkel gas trap is available
-
Gas Referencing TM is available by license from Randall Amen
