LOGGING TOOL SUITE

ADVANCE CONVEYANCE SOLUTION

03

Our slim logging tools help you compete and grow.

The global horizontal logging market continues to grow, bringing with it new business-growth opportunities. But until now, only the largest

service companies have had access to the slim formation-evaluation tools required in order to bid on these projects and win on international RFPs.

04

Until recently, service companies that have wanted to be an important player in the horizontal/unconventional logging market have had to watch from the sidelines, with no access to a provider of high-quality, slim formation-evaluation tools with an advanced conveyance system.

With the advent of Signum Instruments’ micro-slim formation-evaluation tools, however, the competitive field has changed. Now service providers have a way to enter this new market and do so with the confidence that only state-of-the-art instruments can provide.

Our products are backed by decades of downhole-tool design and development expertise and offer unsurpassed flexibility. Our fully characterized logging tools allow you to obtain quality data and make it possible to:

• Acquire data in conventional wireline mode

• Log in real time or memory mode

• Access small-diameter wells

• Bypass trouble zones through drill pipe in high-angle wells

• Log through drill pipe in tough logging conditions

• Pump down through drill pipe to log horizontal wells

We’ve seen the need for best-in-class, slim formation-evaluation tools that service providers can access. That’s why we have now brought to market a robust tool suite that reduces NPT and offers a lower cost of ownership. By doing so, your opportunity to compete has just opened up.

Used during memory operations, the iDI enables deployment of downhole tools to the deployment sub. You can be confident your tools are functioning and being deployed in the proper position, as the iDI maintains full communication through a local wireless interface between the pick-up and drop-off sections of the tool. For added versatility, the tools can be reengaged and wireless communication reestablished at any time during memory-logging operations.

During through-drill-pipe operations, Signum logging tools gain access to the open hole by passing through the bottomhole assembly (BHA). Comprised of the optional float-valve sub, deployment sub and access bit or mule shoe, the BHA makes it possible to bypass trouble zones, drill through bridges, complete reamer runs and maintain well control, all while maintaining access to the borehole. Not getting logs to bottom is no longer a problem with the Signum conveyance system.

• Maintains well control

• Allows tool access to borehole

• Allows circulation and rotation capabilities

• Bypasses trouble zones

• Eliminates additional conditioning trips

The iBT is the tool’s power source for memory operations. iBT self-manages the power-source location, battery usage and battery life. Multiple iBTs may be used to maximize efficiency and battery longevity. The iBT also monitors logging-tool operation and, when needed, cycles battery power, resetting the logging tool(s) to reduce data loss to a minimum, while enhancing log-data integrity and quality.

FEATURES:

• Power source for memory logging

• Intelligent power-utilization optimization

• Monitoring of tool functionality and cycling of power when needed

• Multiple iBTs may be combined for longer operations

Intelligent Litho-Density (iLD)

The Intelligent Litho-Density tool utilizes a Cesium (Cs137) gamma ray source to bombard the formation. Dual detectors measure the energy spectrum and count rates of returned gamma rays whereby both the bulk density and the photoelectric absorption index are calculated. A motorized caliper arm is used to ensure pad contact with the borehole wall, reducing environmental effects while simultaneously providing a hole diameter measurement.

Intelligent Waveform Sonic Tool (iWS)

The iWS acoustic tool was designed for acquiring high-resolution, full-wave acoustic data. The tool features a monopole transmitter and a five-receiver array, which records waveforms at each receiver, while obtaining formation-integral travel time (∆t) and shear (∆t) in fast formations. The iWS requires a fluid-filled borehole and can be used in fresh, salt or oil-based mud systems. In cased holes a traditional cement bond log can be produced.


• Compression and shear velocity measurement

• Determine mechanical characteristics of formation

• Correlate seismic data

• Secondary porosity measurements (vugs, fractures)

• Determination of lithology

Intelligent Array Induction (iAI)

The iAI produces accurate measurements of open-hole-formation conductivity as a function of radial distance and depth. The tool uses one transmitter coil providing excitation signals at multiple frequencies into the formation, while an array of receiving coils senses the return signal from the formation. The multi-channel signal-processing technology provides a robust and stable tool response with enhanced radial and vertical resolution despite borehole conditions and formation environments.

Logging Data

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

20

SWIVEL

Swivel enables free rotation between two sections of the tool string. Decouples tool string from the wireline or drill pipe during memory operations. This ensures minimal tool rotation, producing more consistent data.

SP SUB

The original logging tool, the SP Sub allows lithology identification and can be used as a means of log correlation. Use the SP Sub to determine bed boundaries, indicate porosity and permeability, and measure the difference in potential between the downhole electrode and a surface electrode.

CCL

Used as a means of depth control, the CCL responds to variances in metal volume, such as pipe collars and perforations.

Accessories

Signum Instruments’ accessories provide the flexibility you need to not only work efficiently, but also handle unforeseen circumstances should they occur. Want to make operations flow more smoothly? Save time? Prevent problems? Look no further than Signum Instruments.

21

DECENTRALIZERS

Decentralizers ensure that tools are properly posited against the borehole wall. This minimizes the effects of borehole fluids and enables the acquisition of high-quality data. Electrical feedthroughs enable the tool to be used at any point in the string, while fully collapsible springs enable easy passage through drill pipe or into the casing shoe.

CENTRALIZERS

Centralizers optimize tool position while minimizing environmental effects. With the

ability to fully collapse to a 2 ¼” diameter, Signum centralizers offer a through-tubing-capable solution for conventional, directional and horizontal well-bore applications.

KNUCKLE JOINTS

Knuckle joints enable ideal tool positioning, reduce the rigidity of the tool string and optimize weight distribution for easier maneuverability in highly deviated or horizontal wells.
