State of the art 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™ is available by license from randall amen
- a gas research institute/texaco gas trap is available by license from texaco development corporation
