Resistivity Logging
Resistivity and depth were the first logging measurements ever recorded, and resistivity or its reciprocal,
conductivity, is virtually always recorded as part of openhole logging operations. Present-day technology
combines other measurements such as neutron, density, acoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging to quantify
effective porosity, saturations and permeability. Hydrocarbon evaluation has evolved to logging in more
complex environments, and as oil fields age around the world, more sophisticated equipment is required to
extract hydrocarbons more efficiently and economically. This new marketplace demands an instrument that
can look ever deeper into the formation and resolve increasingly thinner structures. Baker Atlas meets this
need using the High-Definition Induction Log (HDILSM) service along with the powerful computational
capabilities of the ECLIPSSM surface acquisition system. This flexible induction device is designed to
accommodate a wide range of subsurface combination options with other tools.
In addition to conventional openhole formation evaluation measurements, we now offer state-of-the-art
anisotropic evaluation services. The 3D Explorer (3DEX EliteSM) Induction Logging Service is a unique
formation evaluation instrument designed to efficiently and economically identify and quantify hydrocarbons
in thinly bedded low-resistivity pay zones. The 3DEX instruments unique multi-component resistivity
measurement determines Rh and Rv to identify and quantify hydrocarbon volume in anisotropic formations.
More in-depth information for each service is available in Baker Atlas brochures.

Determine Accurate Formation Resistivity

Improved Rt Results in Improved Sw and More Accurate Reserve Estimates
HDIL High-Definition Induction Log
The High-Definition Induction Log (HDILSM) service, a
full-spectrum array-type induction logging service,
provides formation resistivities at multiple depths of
investigation in freshwater and oil-based drilling mud
systems. The combination of the HDIL high-vertical
resolution and deep-investigating measurements with
inversion processing provides a detailed analysis of
formation resistivity (Rt), flushed zone resistivity (Rxo)
and depth of invasion.
Operation
The HDIL subsurface instrument is a multi-receiver,
multi-frequency induction device. Multiple receivers provide
formation resistivities at six depths of investigation, ranging
from 10 to 120 inches (0.25 to 3 m). The longer receiver coil
spacings enable the estimation of Rt, even in the presence of
deep invasion; the shorter spacings provide the information
to correct for borehole and near-borehole effects.
Hydrocarbon evaluation in complex environments requires
technologies that can look deeper into the formation and
resolve thinner structures. In thinly bedded hydrocarbonbearing reservoirs and in the presence of deep drilling fluid
invasion, HDIL measurements provide more accurate
formation resistivity data than conventional induction systems.
Using the HDIL service in these conditions results in better
reservoir description, more accurate water saturation (Sw)
determination and a detailed evaluation of the drilling fluid
invasion profile.
Highlights
Inversion processing of HDIL data provides improved

true formation resistivity (Rt) and flushed zone
resistivity (Rxo) values, as well as drilling fluid
invasion profile information. The invasion profile in
track 1 distinguishes the fully flushed, transition and
undisturbed regions. Track 2 shows Rt, Rxo and the
resolution-matched measurements, while track 3
shows a radial resistivity image.

Determine Resistivity Transverse Anisotropy

Compute Horizontal and Vertical Resistivity
3DEX Elite 3D Explorer Induction Logging Service
The 3D Explorer (3DEX EliteSM) Induction Logging Service is a
unique formation evaluation instrument designed to efficiently
and economically identify and quantify hydrocarbons in thinly
bedded, low-resistivity pay zones. Improved engineering has
now enhanced the service, providing more measurements,
better accuracy and increased logging speed.
Conventional resistivity tools often miss hydrocarbon pay zones
in thinly bedded sand-shale sequences. They measure horizontal (bed-parallel) resistivity, and the measurements are
dominated by the low-resistivity shale laminae, not by the
high-resistivity, hydrocarbon-bearing sand laminae. In many
horizons, these formations contain significant reserves and
produce commercially. The 3DEX Elite tool enables determination of bed parallel (R HORIZONTAL) and bed-normal
(R VERTICAL) resistivities and can be run in combination
with the High-Definition Induction Log (HDILSM).
Operation
New petrophysical models have been developed
that allow for the application of horizontal
and vertical resistivity in a true reservoir
description model that accurately determines
the hydrocarbon saturation of thin-bedded
laminar sands and better productivity estimates.
In thinly bedded reservoirs, here a sand-shale

sequence in which the hydrocarbon-bearing
sands measure 10 ohm-m and the conductive
shales 1 ohm-m at 50% net-to-gross, traditional
induction logging tools measure 1.8 ohm-m
in a vertical well. The 3DEX Elite provides an
additional measurement, the vertical resistivity
at 5.5 ohm-m, which is much more sensitive to
the hydrocarbon-bearing sand layers.
Benefits
More accurate formation
resistivity, water saturation and
reserves estimates in thinly
laminated reservoirs
Better resistivity estimates in
highly deviated wells
Baker Atlas
The 3DEX Elite service employs sets of Z-direction coils coaxial

with the instrument and additional orthogonally mounted X and
Y coil arrays. Inversion processing of 3DEX Elite data allows
computation of horizontal and vertical resistivity, enabling determination of the resistivity transverse anisotropy. Conventional logging
tools generate currents parallel to the formation bedding layers in
boreholes that are drilled perpendicular to the formation. In this
situation, instruments such as the High-Definition Induction Log
(HDIL) service measure the horizontal conductivity. In thinly
laminated or thinly bedded reservoirs, the horizontal conductivity
is governed by the conductive shaly laminae. For example, in a
hydrocarbon-bearing sand-shale sequence, the shale resistivities
could measure 1 ohm-m while hydrocarbon-bearing sand layers
could measure 10 ohm-m, with a net-to-gross of 50 percent. A
resultant horizontal resistivity measurement of 1.8 ohm-m would
be observed. The highly conductive shale dominates the measurement, obscuring the presence of the hydrocarbons. The vertical
conductivity measurement is very sensitive to the presence of the
hydrocarbon-filled sand layers and would increase to about 6 ohm-m
in the example described above. This physical phenomenon is
resistivity transverse anisotropy.

Indicator of Movable Hydrocarbons in Salt Muds

Measurements Adjacent to Wellbore Measure Flushed Zone Resistivities
MLL Micro Laterolog
The Micro Laterolog is a focused-pad device
that measures the resistivity of the invaded zone
near the borehole. It is designed to work best
when the resistivity of the flushed zone is much
greater than that of the mudcake, a situation
where the Minilog performs poorly. When used in
conjunction with deeper-reading resistivity measurements, the MLL can provide a good indication
of movable hydrocarbons.
Operation
The Micro Laterolog is typically run in situations
where the drilling fluid is saline and formation resistivity is high. A one-arm caliper is an intergal part of
the tool and provides a continuous caliper curve. The
Micro Laterolog can also be run when fresh drilling
muds are used, but corrections become large when
mudcake thickness exceeds 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).

Qualitative Permeability Indicator in Fresh Mud Systems

Measurements Adjacent to Wellbore Measure Mudcake/Flushed Zone
ML Minilog
Minilog (ML)
The Minilog is a pad device that measures resistivity at

two shallow, but different depths of investigation. This
allows the identification of mudcake, and therefore
permeable formations.
Operation
The 2-inch Normal Resistivity measures up to 4 inches
(101.6 mm) out from the pad face, whereas the 1-inch
Lateral Resistivity measurement has a depth of investigation
of approximately 1.5 inches (38.1 mm). Thus in usual freshmud situations, the RNML curve, reading through the
mudcake to the formation with drilling fluid, reads higher
than the mudcake reading RLML curve, indicating mudcake
and permeability. In impermeable formations the curves
should overlay and can even exhibit a negative separation.
Under favorable conditions, the Minilog can also measure
the Flushed Zone Resistivity quantitatively. Like the Micro
Laterolog, the Minilog includes a one-arm caliper pad device.

Formation Evaluation: High-Resolution Resistivity

Nuclear Logging
Reliable economic evaluation of a reservoir requires reasonable knowledge of certain fundamental reservoir
properties. Although rock recovered by coring methods is the cornerstone of formation evaluation, wireline
data are more universally available for determining the fundamental reservoir properties.
Logging devices that measure density characteristics of the rocks traversed with the instrument are very
important to openhole log analysis. Baker Atlas nuclear tools provide an array of accurate formation porosity
and lithology information. Baker Atlas nuclear tools acquire neutron porosity, natural gamma ray spectrometry,
density porosity and photoelectric effect measurements along with basic gamma ray measurements. The
combination of these measurements can simplify porosity and lithology evaluation in difficult reservoirs.
Of all the log measurements that are sensitive to porosity in rock, the density measurement is the most
important because it provides a bulk density (rhob) value that is most sensitive to effective formation porosity.
The photoelectric absorption index (Pe) of the Compensated Z-DensilogSM service is particularly useful in
determining formation lithology. The principal use of neutron logs is to identify porous rock and determine
an apparent porosity. If the formation is shale-free, the pores filled with liquid, and the matrix lithology
known, the neutron log can be used to determine the porosity. Comparing the neutron log data to other log
data often resolves the presence of gas, volume of shale and matrix type.

Evaluate Complex Lithologies
ZDL Compensated Z-Densilog
Z-Densilog (ZDL)
X000
The Compensated Z-DensilogSM service provides both

formation bulk density and the photoelectric absorption
index (Pe) data. These measurements allow evaluation
of complex formations determining lithology and porosity
in such formations. Because the photoelectric absorption
of gamma rays depends strongly on atomic number, the
measured values of Pe are directly related to the formations composition. The Pe measurement is not significantly dependent on porosity or fluid content, making it
particularly useful in determining formation lithology.
Operation
X000
Instrument features that enhance quality include: scintillation

detectors for increased count rates and improved repeatability,
256-channel spectrum recording for advanced signal
processing, real-time gain compensation for temperaturerelated changes in detector response, compensation of bulk
density for variable mudcake composition and thickness,
and Dewar flasks that protect heat-sensitive downhole
electronics for use in higher temperature wells. A one-arm
motorized caliper is an intergal part of the tool and provides
a continuous caliper curve.

Determine Formation Porosity

CN Compensated Neutron
Neutron logs are primarily used for identification of
porous formations and the estimation of porosity. Often,
it is possible to distinguish gas zones from oil or water
zones by the comparison of a neutron log with another
porosity log or with information from core analysis.
Combining the Compensated Neutron with a Z-Density
(or Densilog) or an Acoustilog survey provides accurate
porosity values, shale content and lithological information.
Operation
The Compensated Neutron instrument utilizes a source
and two detectors. The surface computer calculates the
apparent porosity using the ratio of the count rates from
the two detectors.
The Compensated Neutron has fewer borehole effects than
other types of neutron logs. This instrument design is useful
in rough or washed-out boreholes.
Neutron tools respond to the amount of hydrogen per unit
volume of formation or hydrogen index. Gas and some oils
have a much lower hydrogen index than water, and the tool
responds to the reduced hydrogen content by indicating a
lower apparent porosity. In gas zones, the apparent porosity
will read lower than in water zones of the same porosity to
produce a gas effect on the logs.

GR Gamma Ray Log
X000
The Gamma Ray instrument measures the natural

radioactivity of the formation being surveyed. The
intensity of radiation gives an indication as to the type
rock present along the wellbore. The gamma ray curve
usually correlates with the SP curve.
Gamma Ray logs are effective in distinguishing
permeable zones by virtue of the fact that radioactive
elements tend to be concentrated in the shales, which
are impermeable, and are much less abundant in
carbonates and sands, which are generally permeable.
Operation
X000
The instrument has analog and digital varieties providing

combination flexibility with all instruments, including
downhole seismic applications. The Gamma Ray instrument
can be run in any liquid or air-filled hole, either cased or
uncased. In cased holes, a Casing Collar Log can also be
recorded simultaneously.

DSL Digital Spectralog
X000
X000
The Digital Spectralog SM (and combined Digital Gamma

Ray) service differs from a standard gamma ray instrument which records total gamma rays in that it also
measures the discrete energy of each gamma ray
detected. By separating the total gamma ray signal into
its components, the Digital Spectralog service can assist
customers in locating fracture zones, identifying the
lithology of subsurface formations, measuring bed thickness, correlating zones of interest between wells, and
making qualitative estimates of formation permeability.
Operation
X000
Discriminating the total gamma ray signal into discrete

energy levels or windows infers the individual amounts of
potassium (K), uranium (U), and thorium (Th). Virtually all
of the gamma radiation detected by downhole instruments
can be classified in one of three categories. As a result,
certain lithology ambiguities which often exist when using
only total gamma ray signal can be resolved.
For example, given a high total gamma ray count over a
40-foot interval, the signal could be indicative of a shale
zone. If that signal were composed mostly of uranium
gamma rays, it could be indicative of a fault plane where
uranium-carrying fluid had migrated.
Improved acquisition allows the Digital Spectralog tool to
operate at three times the standard recommended logging
speed of the standard Spectralog instrument without loss of
statistical precision. The Digital Spectralog tool can be
combined with any other openhole logging instruments.
Highlights
Lithology identification and correlation between wells
Determination of clay type and clay content

The Cross Multipole Array Acoustilog F1 (XMACSM F1)

service is a fullwave monopole, inline dipole and crossdipole instrument that was developed through technology
transfers and licensing agreements from ExxonMobil
(source technology) and Shell (receiver technology).
Operation
Caliper 22"
In this Gulf of Mexico Pleistocene example,

ultra-slow formation data acquisition presents
a difficult environment to determine accurate
shear slowness. Shear slowness values are in
the 800-900 usec/ft range. A comparison of
the XMAC F1 demonstrates the superior
capability of the XMAC Elite.
The Frequency vs. Amplitude graph
demonstrates the significantly improved
frequency and amplitude response of XMAC
F1 transmitters.
The Baker Atlas XMAC F1 service builds on the previous

XMACSM Elite instrument already accepted as the benchmark
for acquiring quality compressional and shear measurements
over a broad range of borehole environments. The XMAC F1
service provides the best quality monopole and dipole measurements in unconsolidated formations (tc>250 s/ft,
ts>1200 s/ft) where competitor tools have had
difficulties performing.
A new telemetry scheme allows acquisition of a full data
set twice as fast as the XMAC Elite service. Petrophysicists
can now easily get acceptance for acquiring data that otherwise
would have been cost-prohibitive when rig time is high. It
allows Baker Atlas to record a full data set for later retrieval
even if the need for the data is not apparent at the time of
acquisition. Typical logging speed for inline and cross-dipole,
full monopole and Stoneley data was 15 ft/min (4.6 m/min),
while the XMAC F1 instrument records the same data at
30 ft/min (9.1 m/min).
Highlights
The orientation of the fracture system

Side-Looking Antenna Ensures Successful Logging in Most Boreholes
MREX MR Explorer
The MR ExplorerSM (MREX) service from Baker Atlas
provides improved data quality and logging efficiency
over previous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
systems. This newest-generation magnetic resonance

The MREX tools 2.2-in. (5.6-cm) minimum depth of
investigation is deep enough to provide valid NMR data in
rugose boreholes and in the presence of mudcake. Multiple
frequency operation supports multiple NMR data acquisitions
simultaneously during a single logging pass.
Highlights

The economic pressures of todays drilling environment require a new approach to wireline
formation evaluation that:
Reduces total job cost by minimizing rig time
Maintains the highest standard in data accuracy
Baker Atlas developed and built the FOCUS logging system for wells where rig time for logging is
a major concern, and where evaluation and analysis needs can be met using the new suite of highefficiency logging tools. FOCUS is the latest in high-efficiency, premium openhole logging systems.
All of the downhole instruments have been redesigned, incorporating advanced downhole sensor
technology into shorter, lighter and more-reliable logging instruments capable of providing formation
evaluation measurements with the same precision and accuracy as the industrys highest-quality
sensors at much higher logging speeds. Logging speeds are up to twice the speed of conventional
triple-combo and quad-combo logging tool strings. The logging system consists of the four standard
major openhole measurements (resistivity, density, neutron, acoustic) plus auxiliary services.

of the new FOCUS Compensated Z-DensilogSM (ZDLSM)
instrument. The mechanical design of the FOCUS ZDL
instrument provides excellent pad contact with the borehole
wall at high speeds even across rugose boreholes and
through washed out zones. The pad design is shorter than
on other typical instruments with articulation that provides
maximum flexibility. The result is high-confidence density
porosity data in a wider range of borehole conditions, even
at high logging speeds.
Operation
The FOCUS Compensated Z-Densilog instrument possesses
features that enhance quality including scintillation detectors,
256-channel spectrum recording, real-time compensation for

The single, most-critical measurement made during a wireline

logging run is the depth measurement. Even small errors in
the depth estimate can corrupt data such as synthetically
focused resistivity curves. The assumption that the logging
tool is moving smoothly through the borehole is not usually
valid due to rugose and sticky borehole conditions and the
effect of centralizers and decentralizers in the toolstring. An
accelerometer aligned along the long axis of the toolstring
can be used to make corrections to the surface depth estimate.

Borehole images and high-resolution formation dip data describe the structural framework, fracture patterns,
sedimentary features and in-situ stress orientation of the formation. Borehole images and resistivity anisotropy
measurements provide valuable information to design completion and perforation strategies. These measurements
are used as an aid in conventional core description and orientation, as well as for selecting intervals for formation
testing, sampling and perforating.
For thinly laminated sequences, borehole images and resistivity, anisotropy measurements are the only practical
method of determining net-pay thickness in the absence of conventional cores. In addition, these services are
used for the identification of bioturbated zones, overturned, slumped, and contorted beds all potential
impediments to production. When combined, the horizontal and vertical resistivities from the 3DEXSM service
and the high-resolution borehole images from the STAR ImagerSM or the EARTH ImagerSM services can
significantly improve the petrophysical evaluation of thinly bedded sand-shale sequences.
More in-depth information for each service is available in the Baker Atlas Borehole Imaging Services and
Applications manual and the HDIPSM brochure. Please contact your local customer service representative, or log

Borehole Ultrasonic Images in All Mud Types
CBIL Circumferential Borehole Imaging Log
The digital Circumferential Borehole Imaging LogSM
(CBILSM) system provides high-resolution borehole

Full 360-borehole imaging is possible due to an acoustic

transducer operating in the pulse-echo mode. The transducer
rotates to scan the entire circumference of the borehole wall
providing sharp images and boundary delineation.
The CBIL instrument operates reliably in both water-based
and oil-based muds. The lower operating frequency (250 kHz)
allows for superior performance in larger holes and heavier
muds than other similar devices. Because the CBIL system
is an acoustic device that does not require contact with the
borehole wall, it is quite effective in horizontal wells. Its
small size [3.625 in. (92.1 mm)] allows for operation in slim
holes as well as large-diameter holes. Signature waveform
recording allows the image data to be monitored real time
during acquisition.
Highlights

Formation Testing and Sampling
For efficient completion design, gas-, oil-, and water-bearing zones must be identified and characterized along
with fluid contacts and hydrocarbon types. The Reservoir Characterization InstrumentSM (RCISM) service defines
the reservoir pressure profile and obtains samples of the reservoir fluid, both key elements of the completion
perforating design. The RCI services expanded offerings include SampleViewSM IC service, Single-phase Tanks
(SPT) and Straddle PackerSM module. The RCI service provides this information in real time, crucial in the
decision-making process.
Laboratory testing of sidewall cores provides valuable rock characteristics used in the course of evaluating
a formation. Information gathered from sidewall cores can be used throughout the life of a reservoir, from
determining sensitivities to formation damage during drilling, to maximizing hydrocarbon production.
Baker Atlas offers two sidewall coring services: the Rotary Sidewall Coring ServiceSM (RCORSM) service and the
Sidewall CorgunSM tool. The RCOR service is a computer-controlled and hydraulically powered wireline coring
device for cutting and retrieving multiple sidewall core samples. The Corgun tool is a ballistically operated
sidewall coring system. The samples obtained help oil and gas producers better evaluate their reservoirs.
More in-depth information for each service is available in the Baker Atlas RCI RESolution and RCOR

Improves Downhole Fluid Characterization

SampleView IB Service
Baker Atlas has improved the technology for acquiring
representative formation fluid samples. SampleViewSM
IB service, introduced as a significant upgrade to the
original Reservoir Characterization InstrumentSM (RCISM)
SampleViewSM module, brings enhanced fluid characterization measurements to better quantify fluid typing
and contamination.
Fig. 1
The original SampleView optical analyzer has been

upgraded to improve resolution and stability to aid in the
development of chemo-metric modeling. Additionally, two
optical channels have been added to identify and quantify
the presence of methane (Figures 1, 2).
With improved SampleView IB optical response, Baker
Atlas has introduced the FTAForecast software. This realtime software allows the engineer to calculate an estimation
of sample purity at individual depths (Figure 3). The software
enables selection from the full range of SampleView-acquired
measurements as inputs to the analysis, and graphically
displays the estimations of sample purity at any given depth.
Fig. 2
Refractive Index
A measurement of Refractive Index in the SampleView IB
service aids in the identification of fluid types and contamination monitoring. This continuous measurement allows for
very accurate OBM filtrate contamination monitoring and
gas presence. The refractive index of various fluid types is
significantly different, allowing simple differentiation
between gas, oil and water. The refractive index can also
be used as an input to the FTAForecast analysis.
Fluorescence Spectrometer
The SampleView IB service also has a fluorescence
spectrometer. Through use of a downhole ultraviolet lamp,
a measurement of hydrocarbon fluorescence is acquired
over five differing wavelengths. This measurement aids in
the hydrocarbon typing process based upon fluorescence
spectrum, and differentiation between light crude oils and
condensates (Figure 4).

RCI Single-phase Tanks

Single-phase I sample chambers are designed to capture
a 450 cc sample. The Single-phase I sample is appropriate
when an accurate determination of PVT parameters is required
and for flow-assurance studies. These chambers are particularly
well suited to sampling in black and volatile oils. They are also
recommended for formation water sampling because ideally,
the sampling process maintains the integrity of dissolved
gases such as H2S or CO2 and other dissolved minerals, thus
maintaining the pH of water at in-situ conditions. Accurate
determination of formation water pH, in turn, allows for determining scaling potential. The RCI Single-phase I Tank systems
were specifically designed to maintain sample integrity by
eliminating the need to combine smaller volume samples in
order to obtain a sufficient volume for PVT analysis.
Single-phase I sampling is similar to PVT sampling with an added

feature to further compensate for the sample cooling as it is retrieved
from the wellbore. The RCI Single-phase I Tank consists of two
floating pistons with a pre-determined charge of nitrogen between
the pistons. Expansion of the nitrogen gas compensates for the
pressure drop in the sample due to temperature loss as the sample
is retrieved from the well and transported to the lab.
Single-phase I Tank
Single-phase I tanks can be outfitted with the Baker Atlas Continuous

Data Recorder (CDR) to monitor sample integrity during transport.
These tanks incorporate mixing balls (a requirement from the PVT
labs) and have U.S. Department of Transportation and Canadian
Transit Authority exemptions, so they can be transported by
common carrier. The tanks are rated for 20,000 psi (137.9 MPa),
400 F (204 C), and are constructed from NACE-approved
materials. Single-phase II sample chambers are designed to
capture 432 cc samples up to 25,000 psi (172.4 MPa).
The Single-phase II sample (SPT II) is also appropriate when
an accurate determination of PVT parameters is required and for
flow-assurance studies and the conditions warrant additional
compensation over the Single-phase I sample. Single-phase II
sampling is recommended when reservoir conditions exceed 250 F
(121 C) or 13,000 psi (89.6 MPa). It is particularly suited to
sampling in black oils, high-GOR volatile oils, and retrograde
condensates. It is also recommended for formation water sampling.
Single-phase II Tank
Single-phase II sampling is similar to Single-phase I sampling

with an added feature to further compensate for the sample cooling
as it is retrieved from the wellbore. The RCI Single-phase II Tank
consists of two floating pistons with a pre-determined charge of
nitrogen behind the second piston.
The nitrogen piston has a 2:1 compression ratio, which effectively
doubles the compensation potential in the tank.
Single-phase II Sample Tanks also features two 15 cc MicroSample
Tanks that can be extracted to validate the samples without disturbing
the main sample chamber.
The tanks are rated for 25,000 psi (172.4 MPa), 400 F (204 C),
and are constructed from NACE-approved materials.

RCI Multi-tank Carrier

The Multi-tank Carrier is designed to efficiently collect multiple
samples during a single trip into the well. This process yields
cost-effective, high-quality sampling and a significant savings
in rig time.
Baker Atlas offers two multi-tank carrier modules with the RCISM
service, a 6-tank carrier for efficient multi-zone sampling and a 2-tank
carrier which is purpose-built for HPHT single-phase sampling.
Features of the 6-Tank Carrier:

Six tanks per module
840 cc PVT sample tanks or 450 cc Single-phase I Tanks
Up to 24 tanks per run with power booster
Integral borehole exit
Traditional wireline formation test tools are capable of taking only
two formation fluid samples. The Multi-tank module houses six
tanks, and up to four modules can be combined on a single trip into
the hole. This feature allows the combination of 26 tanks in a single
RCI instrument run, including the two standard large-volume 4-, 10or 20-liter sample tanks. This configuration provides the largest
possible quantity and volume in the industry. The integrated borehole
exit eliminates the need to include a Borehole Exit Module when the
Multi-tank Carrier is being run.
The RCI instrument uses hydraulic sealing valves on each tank,
which can be positively verified by pumping against the valve to
ensure that sample integrity is maintained.
Features of the 2-Tank Carrier:

Two tanks per module
432 cc Single-phase II Tanks with integral micro-sample chambers
Up to four tanks per run with power booster
The two-tank carrier with SPT II sample tanks is another option that
can be selected when configuring the RCI instrument for sampling
operations. Using this option, the RCI tool can collect a total of six
samples per run in hole (4 x DOT tanks + 2 x large volume tanks).
All tanks can be overpressured to reduce the possibility of phase separation during sample retrieval to surface. The value of the required
overpressure is determined during the pre-job planning and confirmed in real time with a downhole expansion test.
Service Application
Up to 24 Single-phase I or PVT samples in any combination per
trip in the well
Up to four single-phase II samples per trip in the well
6-tank carrier is fully combinable with 2-tank carrier and highvolume sample tanks
Benefits
Multiple samples per trip in a well in any combination and unlimited
pressure measurements provide true reservoir characterization.
Representative sampling for a wide range of reservoir conditions.

Obtain High-Quality Representative Formation Core Samples

Preserve Rock Properties, Avoid Damages Caused by Percussion Coring
RCOR Rotary Sidewall Coring Tool
The Rotary Sidewall Coring (RCORSM) instrument
provides the ability to acquire undamaged sidewall core
samples suitable for porosity and permeability analysis.
The RCOR system is an advanced, computer-controlled
and hydraulically powered coring device for cutting and
retrieving multiple sidewall cores. The entire coring and
storage operation is continuously monitored by means
of a graphical surface system.
Operation
The RCOR system can drill multiple core samples from
downhole formations and store them in the core-storage
section of the tool body for retrieval back to the surface.
The sidewall cores are drilled using a pivoting bit box. As
the tool is lowered into the hole, the bit box is in-line with
the tool body. At the desired depth, the bit box is pivoted
into the drill position to make contact with the wellbore
wall. The maximum retrievable core length is then drilled,
measured, and stored. The tool can then be repositioned for
the next sample. A maximum of 60 cores per trip are
achievable with the RCOR system.

Efficient Acquisition of Core Samples

Confirm Paleontology and Hydrocarbon Shows in Zones of Interest
SWC Sidewall Corgun
Conventional methods of coring are used during the
well-drilling operation. Often, however, formation cores
are desired after the total depth is drilled and the basic
openhole logs are complete. The Sidewall CorgunSM
(SWCSM) tool provides a means for recovering a depthspecific sidewall formation sample suitable for
hydrocarbon and lithology confirmation.
Operation
The operating principle of the SWC instrument is relatively
simple. A core barrel, which is a hollow cylinder, is shot
into the formation by a powder charge ignited by an electric
current. The core barrel, containing a formation sample, is
retrieved by means of a steel cable attached between the gun
and the core barrel. Only one core barrel is fired at a time.
A tandem gun can selectively core up to 50 samples on a
single run using the 4 in. (101.6 mm) SWC tool and up to
44 samples on a single run using the 3 in. (76.2 mm) SWC
tool. The SWC tool can collect a maximum of 74 cores by
running three SWC tools in tandem.
Core barrels are available to sample formations ranging from
soft to very hard. The core samples are generally large enough
to allow a comprehensive core analysis. Cores range in size
from 0.85 in. (21.6 mm) to 0.69 in. (17.5 mm)
The SP or gamma ray curve, run simultaneously with the
SWC tool, provides depth correlation with the primary suite
of logs.

Borehole Seismic Applications
VSFusion Borehole Seismic Processing
Geophysical Services
Borehole seismic applications and services are an essential part of energy exploration. With a seismic receiver
placed in the earth at depth and an energy source on the surface, accurate time-depth measurements are produced
that can be used to calibrate well logs. By changing the location of surface sources and the number of receivers
in the borehole, high-resolution data can be recorded and detailed formation properties and reservoir images can
be produced. Providing high-resolution data enables 3-D images to be created which can improve vertical and
lateral resolution of the reservoir when compared to surface seismic data. Baker Atlass borehole seismic division
provides the latest in digital data acquisition systems and services, which provide clients with quality data and
proven results.
VSFusion Baker Hughes joint venture with CGG-Veritas is an industry leader in borehole seismic processing.
VSFusion provides a full spectrum of borehole seismic application design, data processing and interpretation.
VSFusions 3-C 3-D vector migration processing can provide the most accurate structural image possible by
precisely locating each reflection point in the VSP data. VSFusion also provides leading technology in processing
and interpretation of 3-D VSP data.
Magnitude Baker Atlas microseismic experts, use the latest technology in seismic processing of acoustic
events in microseismic monitoring and hydraulic fracture mapping. Hydraulic fracture mapping is achieved by
monitoring and recording microseismic events that occur during the fracture treatment of a well. Fracture monitoring provides an independent estimate of fracture volume and direction which is crucial to the optimization of
a prospects development program. Baker Atlas provides the latest technology in digital downhole equipment
and wellsite operations while Magnitude provides processing and interpretation of the microseismic data.

Application: Time-Depth Correlation
Velocity Survey
Travel-time measurements are acquired with receivers
placed at known depths in a well. These measurements
produce accurate time-depth and seismic velocity
results that can be used to calibrate well log data.
Velocity survey information is presented as time-depth
correlation plots and detailed velocity tables. Borehole
seismic-generated velocity information is used to
calibrate acoustic well log data and produce accurate
synthetic seismograms. Synthetic seismograms link
surface seismic time-domain information with highresolution, depth-domain well log data.
Operation
VSFusion provides calibration information and parameters
derived from borehole seismic measurements to enhance
surface seismic imaging, attribute processing, and reduced
uncertainty in surface seismic interpretation.
Velocity or Checkshot Survey
The Velocity Survey uses a combination of geophysical and

well logging techniques to measure the one-way travel-time
of a seismic pulse. This pulse is generated from an energy
source, located at ground or sea level, and propagates to a
geophone receiver placed at a known depth in the borehole.
Using the measured total travel-time for a measured depth,
the average velocity of a pulse propagating through the
earth to that depth is calculated and corrected to the seismic
datum. Interval velocities are calculated between check shot
levels. By comparing acoustic well log integrated interval
times to the measured one-way seismic travel-times from
the Velocity Survey, the acoustic log values can be adjusted
for errors due to borehole conditions such as borehole
diameter, drilling fluid invasion and formation gas.

Application: True Wavelet, Phase and Multiple Identification
Zero Offset Vertical Seismic Profile (ZVSP)
The unique geometry of a zero offset VSP allows for
multiples, recorded above the depth of the deepest
receiver, to be identified and removed. The end result
is a zero-phase, primaries-only dataset. This dataset
can be used to identify residual multiple reflections on
the surface seismic data, as well as to phase and
frequency match the surface seismic data to the
zero-phase VSP.
Operation
Zero Offset VSP
With a zero offset VSP, the energy source is placed a

relatively short distance from the well. The downhole
receiver spacing is usually denser than that used when
recording a velocity survey. In addition to measuring the
elapsed time for the surface-activated energy source pulse
to travel to the geophone, as is done with a velocity survey,
the VSP technique is used to record and interpret the
seismic response that follows the first arrival pulse.
The primary output from the zero offset VSP is a single
stacked trace, which represents the acoustic response of the
subsurface at the well location. This single trace, consisting
of primary reflections called the corridor stack trace, is
compared to the surface seismic data at the well location.
The VSP receiver is placed downhole rather than on the
surface to provide the following benefits:
Highlights
Improved time-depth relationship

Application: Surface Seismic AVO Calibration
Walkaway VSP, 3-D VSP
AVO gradient and intercept volumes derived from surface seismic
data are used by the interpreter to provide quantitative answers
regarding reservoir size, location and fluid saturation levels. While
they provide good spatial coverage, the seismic amplitudes recorded
on the surface have traveled twice through the sediments overlaying
the reservoir. These data were affected by scattering and attenuation,
and are also subject to variation due to the heterogeneity of the
overburden. There are many uncertainties inherent to surface seismic
AVO. These uncertainties may manifest themselves in an erroneous
reservoir model. To reduce these uncertainties, a borehole seismic
AVO survey should be run to calibrate the surface seismic AVO data.
Operation
Walkaway
Because the VSP receiver can be placed very close to the reservoir, many
of the uncertainties associated with surface seismic AVO are eliminated.
Having an in-situ receiver results in a one-way seismic travel path.
Consequently, reflection amplitudes recorded in a VSP AVO survey are
much less affected by transmission loss and scattering. In addition, with
a properly designed VSP survey, wider reflection angle apertures can be
acquired than with surface seismic geometry.

Acquisition of Borehole Seismic Data Inside Drill Pipe
PSR PipeSeis
Baker Atlas offers the PipeSeis technique as an
alternative to acquiring borehole seismic data using
Pipe Conveyed Logging (PCL). The 3-C well seismic
data is recorded from within the drillpipe as the
geophone is pumped down using the mud circulating
system. This technique uses conventional wireline
and allows data to be recorded in wells that go past
horizontal at a minimal risk and minimizing rig time.
Operation
Deployment of the slimhole receiver is made through a
side-entry-sub and kelly hose connected to the top of the
drillstring. When the tool is at the required measured depth,
it is clamped inside the drillpipe and the seismic energy is
generated by means of a conventional source at the surface.
Depth is controlled by a standard wireline encoder. A number
of built-in features ensure that drillpipe does not become
stuck in the hole during surveying. The PipeSeis technique
can be run in single- or dual-level mode using the SHR
tool, or in true multi-level mode with the Multi-level
Slimhole ReceiverSM.

Estimate the Decay of High Frequencies with Depth
Attenuation in seismic data is governed by energy loss per oscillation
over a given travel time. High frequencies exhibit higher level of
oscillation and are more prone to attenuation.
Using the VSP downgoing wavefield recorded at successive depths in
the borehole, it is possible to estimate the decay of high frequencies
with depth. The frequency decay estimate can then be inversely
applied to surface seismic data to restore lost bandwidth.

Reprocessing VSPs and Rock Properties from VSP Data
Special Processing
Reprocessing VSPs
If you have suboptimal images from archived VSP data,
then reprocessing could be the answer. Advances in
VSP processing from VSFusion can yield high-quality
seismic images without having to reshoot the survey.
Customize your displays and improve your imaging
to reveal hidden information in old datasets, such as
fracture networks and lateral stratigraphic changes.
Reprocessed VSPs can be fully integrated with new or
reprocessed surface seismic data. Reprocessing offers
cost-effective advantages for all types of VSP data from
standard checkshots to walkaway, 3-D and AVO analysis.
Old data archived on paper can be reprocessed and
stored in digital format for reliable preservation.
Rock Properties from VSP Data
VSP 3-Component Rotation

(Left) Direct Component contains downgoing P
and reflected S energy
(Right) Perpendicular Component contains downgoing shear wave and reflected P-wave energy
By utilizing information from all three components in

the VSP tool, amplitude-consistent processing may be
performed for reservoir characterization and rock property
analysis. Surface seismic processing benefits greatly from
information gathered from 2-D or 3-D borehole seismic data.

Update Presurvey Modeling to Best Match VSP Seismic Data
Post-Survey Modeling
Presurvey modeling is used to optimize survey geometry
to meet a given objective before the data is acquired.
In post-survey modeling, the starting model is updated
iteratively by comparing the final processed arrival times
and VSP data with the model. As the model is updated
to best match what is being observed in the VSP seismic
data, important structural and rock property information
is revealed, such as accurate positioning of faults, salt
boundaries and formation velocities.
Situation
A deviated well to run sub-horizontally within a reservoir
Poorly defined surface seismic data with 100 m lateral
and 50 m vertical errors
A requirement to penetrate the fault at a certain location
within the reservoir
Objectives
Run intermediate Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP), then
perform on-site processing within six hours
Match real results to synthetic modeling, and adjust model
Solution/Benefits
Provided high-resolution seismic information during
drilling of the well
Customer able to quickly adjust well trajectory and
enter target zone at desired point of entry with lower
risk of uncertainty

3-D Layer-Based Inversion Improves Vertical Resolution
2-D and 3-D VSP Inversion
2-D VSP Inversion
VSFusions Sparse Spike Inversion application
estimates the impedance profile, velocity, density and depths. Sparse spike inversion mixes
a seismic wave field with the low frequency
components of a reflectance series generated
from an input model. The input model can be
developed from VSP first break time-depth of
receiver pairs, TD-pairs or from a VSP checkshot survey. Models developed using this
application initially consist of horizontal plane
layers. Dipping and nonplanar layers are then
added through the interactive editor.
The available outputs consist of the input data, and various

model parameter images presented as time images, spike
images, and the derived images of impedance, velocity and
density. For quality control, the solution can band-limited to
match filtering applied to the input surface seismic data.
3-D VSP Inversion

VSFusion performs 3-D VSP using the TDROV 3-D
technique, the only 3-D layer-based inversion service
available on the market. It features a new multi-volume
capability for 4-D, 4-C and AVO processing. The TDROV
technique derives a finely layered impedance model, giving
access to the architecture of the reservoir. Elastic impedance
is estimated from the 3-D seismic (surface or borehole
derived), using well data as calibration for the wavelet
and for obtaining the low-frequency component of elastic
impedance. TDROV technique follows a model-based
approach where the model parameters are sparse and
constrained. The key advantage of the layering approach
is improved vertical resolution. In addition, the layered
impedance model allows a quick QC of the inversion,
mapping of impedances along the stratigraphy, and an
easy description of reservoir properties.
Prediction of Events and Pressures Ahead of the Bit
Velocity model
While prediction ahead of the bit is not a new technique,

advances through VSFusions inversion method and
processing software are achieving improved accuracy. The
VSP trace at the borehole is inverted to generate an acoustic
impedance log below TD. Acoustic impedance changes on
the log can provide indications of rock type and properties
such as reservoir sands and over pressured zones. VSP
imaging can also be used for visualizing formations in front
of the bit.
Baker Atlas

Position VSP Receivers to Achieve Desired Results
Presurvey Modeling
Borehole seismic surveys need to be optimized if they
are to meet survey objectives and remain within budget.
Presurvey modeling aids in positioning the VSP receivers
at the proper depth and the sources at the correct offset and azimuth to achieve the desired results.
In conjunction with GeoTomo LLC, VSFusion uses the

VECON modeling package, which quickly and easily
models VSP surveys even with the most complex of
subsurface structures. This ease of use and flexibility
provides answers to VSP survey design questions before the
survey is acquired. With the VECON package loaded on a
laptop PC, a VSFusion geophysicist is able to model any
type of survey with the customer. Geologists, geophysicists,
drillers and other interested staff in the customers office are
able to participate in the survey design and add valuable
insight to the process. The VECON package allows the
geophysicist to:
Design and Model All Types of VSP Surveys

Interactively design the survey on UNIX workstation
or Windows PC
Predict the full-wavefield response
Perform advanced ray-tracing and finitedifference modeling
Simulate P- and S-wave source as well as P-S and S-P
mode converted wavefields

Cased Hole Formation Evaluation
Production Logging
Pipe Evaluation
To find zones of opportunity in cased wells, it is necessary to run logs that can identify hydrocarbons behind
casing. Pulsed neutron services such as Baker Atlas Reservoir Performance MonitorSM (RPMSM) and PDK-100SM
instruments differentiate between water- and hydrocarbon-bearing formations to identify bypassed or partially
drained areas of the reservoir. Pulsed neutron analysis can also estimate formation properties (porosity, shale
volume) and hydrocarbon type necessary to develop an optimal perforating and completion program. The data
can be used to optimize hydrocarbon recovery for a single well or an entire field.
By periodically monitoring reservoir fluid saturations and gas/oil/water contact levels, reservoir models can
be continually refined, impacting decisions ranging from daily wellsite operations to initiating secondary or
tertiary recovery. In addition, the use of these services can also help avoid premature well or field abandonment
by identifying bypassed hydrocarbons that could be recovered economically from the reservoir.

Advanced Comprehensive Pulsed Neutron Instrument

C/O and PNC Sw, Gas Saturation, 3-Phase Water Holdup and Water Flow Measurements
RPM Reservoir Performance Monitor
The Reservoir Performance Monitor (RPM) is an advanced slimhole multifunction pulsed neutron tool with industry-leading accuracy and precision,
combining multiple nuclear measurements in one system. Carbon/Oxygen
(C/O) and pulsed neutron capture (PNC or Sigma) operating modes provide
measurements for water saturation. In addition, a new quantitative gas
saturation measurement service called GasViewSM is available that is unique
in the industry. The RPM also has applications in production logging. The
Pulsed Neutron Holdup Imaging (PNHI) mode provides three-phase holdup
determination, and several oxygen activation modes (Hydrolog, FloShot and
Annular Flow Log) provide quantitative water velocity measurements under a
variety of completion configurations.
The RPM addresses a broad scope of reservoir evaluation and management

applications, including reservoir saturation and produced fluids monitoring,
formation evaluation, production profiling, workover and well abandonment
evaluation, and identification of water channeling for mechanical integrity testing.

Enhanced Formation Evaluation and Reservoir Monitoring

Proven Pulsed Neutron Capture Technology Helps to Assess Hydrocarbon Reserves
PDK PDK-100
The PDK-100SM (Pulse and Decay 100 channels)
instrument employs pulsed neutron capture (PNC)
technology to provide high-resolution measurements
of thermal neutron decay to help evaluate hydrocarbon
reserves in formations containing saline water. The
PDK-100 has long been a standard for PNC logging
in reservoir monitoring applications.
Operation
The PDK-100 instrument measures the macroscopic
thermal neutron absorption cross-section (sigma) of the
bulk formation. Sigma is primarily a function of porosity,
formation water salinity, quantity and type of hydrocarbon
in the pore spaces, and type of rock matrix. Sigma
decreases with increasing hydrocarbon content, but
increases with increasing water salinity. In cased holes,
the PDK-100 instrument can be used to discriminate
between gas, oil and saltwater-bearing formations.

Advanced Production Logging For Highly-Deviated and Horizontal Wells

Multifunction Reservoir Evaluation and Well Performance Monitoring
POLARIS Production Optimization Log and Reservoir Information Solutions
MCFM sensors are deployed across

the wellbore to determine phase
fraction (holdup) and velocity profiles.
Holdup and velocity data is acquired
simultaneously within the 30-inch long
wing assembly and sensor package.
The wings of the MCFM tool are

maintained in the vertical position to
measure multiphase flow behavior in
horizontal wells.
The Baker Atlas POLARISSM System is an exclusive combination

of the Multi-Capacitance Flow MeterSM (MCFMSM) and Reservoir
Performance MonitorSM (RPMSM) logging tools creating a powerful
slimhole diagnostic system for evaluating and understanding
performance in highly-deviated and horizontal well and reservoirs.
Operation
The MCFM instrument is the premier multiphase production logging
tool developed for non-vertical wells. The small diameter multisensor
MCFM instrument incorporates sophisticated technology for measuring
three-phase flow oil, water and gas in horizontal, highly deviated and
undulating wellbores. Combining an across-the-wellbore capacitance
array with temperature, pressure and acoustic sensors allows the MCFM
instrument to pinpoint the location of three-phase entry into the wellbore.
In addition, flow velocities are measured at six levels across the wellbore
by cross-correlation of signals measured along each row of sensors.
Correlation velocities are supplemented with spinner velocity for a total
of up to seven velocity measurements across the wellbore.
The RPM is an advanced multifunction pulse neutron tool which combines
multiple nuclear measurements in one system with industry-leading
accuracy and precision. Carbon/Oxygen and pulse neutron capture
measurements acquired with the RPM tool provide water saturation and

for pressure transient and nodal well test analysis and
reservoir simulation. Using these key production parameters, it is possible to evaluate drilling and production
operations at the wellsite and diagnose potential problems
such as water or gas breakthrough, crossflow of thief
zones and channeling.
Operation
The Basket Flowmeter is used for metering low flow rates
within cased hole or openhole wells. The motor-driven
Basket Flowmeter is lowered in a closed position into the
well through tubing. It is then opened to take stationary
readings at the point of interest. Once opened, the flow is
directed through the center of the instrument, where rotational
velocity of the spinner is proportional to the velocity of the
fluid movement.
Two-phase flow rates can be measured accurately, particularly
where fluid velocities are low. In high-angle wells, log interpretation are enhanced where water hold-up and fluid separation
are occurring due to the improved mixing of phases caused
by diversion of flow through the spinner chamber.

for pressure transient and nodal well test analysis and
reservoir simulation. Using these key production parameters, it is possible to evaluate drilling and production
operations at the wellsite and diagnose potential problems
such as water or gas breakthrough, crossflow of thief

Operation
The Nuclear Fluid Density log is a radioactive measurement
which uses gamma rays. While the Gamma Ray log is a
measurement of natural gamma rays, the Nuclear Fluid
Density log data are a record of the density difference
between water, oil and gas, and are generated by use of a
chemical gamma ray source. The density measurement is
made by observing the relative absorption of gamma rays by
the borehole fluid in a sampling channel. The basic unit of
measure is a count of residual gamma rays. This counting
rate is inversely proportional to the density of the sample and
is a function of the activity of the gamma ray source. The log
density data are recorded in grams per cubic centimeter.
The Nuclear Fluid Density instrument, unaffected by fluid
viscosity or fluid velocity, is a good indicator of the type of
fluid entering, leaving or present in the borehole.

Fluid Movement in Low Rate Production or Injection Wells

Nuclear Flolog (NFL) and Tracerlog (TRL)
The Nuclear Flolog is very useful in low flow rate
producing or injection wells where relatively low
flow velocities are recorded. It is typically used to
measure flow velocities inside the casing or
tubing string.
Nuclear Flolog
The system utilizes two gamma ray detectors with a
known separation distance between them. For this
type of system, the time of ejection is not critical
because the information obtained is a function of the
time required for the radioactive tracer material to
travel from one detector to the other detector (timeof-flight). The travel time is a function of the flow
rate into or out of the formation at the level of
measurement. The time intervals are measured to the
nearest 0.1 second and tabulated for calculation. By
varying the distance between the detectors, low to
high flow rates can be accurately determined.

Advanced Pulsed Neutron Production Logging Applications

Pulsed Neutron Imaging For Three-Phase Holdup in Casing and Annulus
PNHI Pulsed Neutron Holdup Imager
The Pulsed Neutron Holdup Imager (PNHI) is a mode of
operation of the Reservoir Performance Monitor (RPM)
used for determining the wellbore fractions of water, oil and
gas (holdups) in horizontal and highly deviated wellbores.
Because neutrons have the ability to penetrate the tubing,
liner or casing, it is also an essential measurement when
used in combination with the MCFM instrument in POLARIS
operations for evaluation of complex completions where
annular flow may exist. Typical annular flow conditions include
flow in a tubing-casing annulus, behind slotted liners or in
gravel packs. The measurement is also useful for locating
water or gas channeling behind casing.
Operation
The RPM instrument employs a high-energy pulsed-neutron
source and three high-resolution gamma ray detectors in
various modes of operation for formation evaluation, water
velocity and 3-phase holdup measurements. The PNHI
measurement for 3-phase holdup is based on neutron-gamma
ray interactions that are sensitive to changes in the phases
present in the wellbore. Specifically, the Carbon/Oxygen (C/O)
ratio is used to determine the fraction of water relative to
hydrocarbon, and a ratio of inelastic gamma rays between two
detectors is used to determine the fraction of gas to liquid
phases. By combining the two measurements, a 3-phase

Accurate Detection of Waterflow

Waterflow Measurement and Diagnostics in a Variety of Well Completions
HYDL Hydrolog
The HydrologSM service can be used in production logging
applications including production and injection profiling,
and in problem detection such as channel identification or
as a stand-alone service accepted for mechanical integrity
testing (MIT) programs. The Hydrolog service offers several
advantages over conventional services, including reducing
costly down time during production or injection operations
and eliminating radioactive tracer contamination.
Operation
The Hydrolog service uses oxygen activation for accurate
detection and quantification of waterflow. A high-energy
(14 MeV) pulsed neutron source activates oxygen nuclei,
creating nitrogen-16, a rapidly dissipating radioactive isotope.
Background measurements by multiple detectors allow for
waterflow detection and velocity determination. The source and
detector arrangements can be reversed, depending on waterflow
direction. Different modes of operation, including specific
neutron source utilization and logging procedures, are available
depending on the complexity of the completion and/or water
velocity range. For example, the Annular Flow Log service is
used to measure injection profiles in multiple string completions
where as many as three concurrent and co-directional waterflow
streams are present. The FloShot mode is a multi-detector
method that allows measurement of water velocities in excess
of 500 ft/min (152.4 m). In addition, all oxygen activation services can be run as continuous or stationary logging measurements.
Highlights
Multiple modes of operation
Identification of waterflow behind casing
Production and injection water profiling
Continuous logging capability for complete zone coverage
Stationary measurements for improved precision when
required
Detect flow in either liquid-filled or air-filled wellbores
Provide accurate waterflow diagnostics in a single logging
run through multiple string configurations with multiple
waterflow paths
Detect waterflow in either up or down directions
Benefits
Valuable tool for production and

Continuous Temperature Measurement of Borehole Fluid

Calculate Continuous Differential Temperature Curve at Surface
TEMP Temperature Log
The Temperature Log provides a continuous
measurement of borehole fluid temperature.
From the absolute borehole fluid temperature, a
continuous differential temperature curve can be
calculated at the surface. The differential data is
obtained by comparing a particular absolute temperature value with one obtained at a preceding
time. Because the differential curve is more sensitive to small temperature changes, it has proven to
be useful in log interpretation applications.
Operation
A stable precision probe measures precisely the
temperature of the particular borehole environment.
The temperature is presented on the log in units of
degree per chart division. Continuous temperature
logs are readily made in liquids; however, stationary
measurements may be required in a gas.
Highlights

Identify and Quantify Internal and External Corrosion Defects

Fully Circumferential Inspection of Tubing or Casing String
VRT Vertilog Service
The VertilogSM Service uses magnetic flux-leakage
measurements to identify and quantify the extent
and penetration depth of both internal and external
corrosion defects. The overlapping arrays of flux
leakage (FL) sensors and discriminator (DIS)
sensors provides full circumferential inspection of
the tubing or casing string, allows for differentiating
between metal loss (corrosion) and metal gain
(hardware) features, and distinguishes between
general corrosion and isolated pitting.
Operation
Defects with diameters as small as 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) can
be identified, and pipe sizes from 2 7/8 in. to 13 3/8 in.
(73 mm to 339.7 mm) can be evaluated with standard
equipment. Casing sizes from 13 3/8 to 22 in. (339.7 to
558.8 mm) can be evaluated upon request.
In some sizes, the same high-quality corrosion
inspection log can be produced using conventional
single-conductor electric wireline or slickline (downhole digital memory) data acquisition.

Multifrequency, Multispacing Casing Inspection

Detect Wall Thickness Changes in Single or Multiple Casing Strings
DMAG Digital Magnelog Service
The Digital MagnelogSM service is an electromagnetic
multifrequency, multispacing casing inspection
service used to detect wall thickness changes in
single or multiple casing strings.
Operation
The casing wall thickness is determined by the amount
of magnetic field shift, which is affected by casing
thickness and permeability. An electronic caliper
measures the magnetic permeability of the void
between the tool and the inner wall of the casing,
indicating average inside diameter. A differential
anomaly indicator provides a curve which displays
small defects on the inside wall of the casing.
The wall thickness and caliper measurements permit a
distinction between internal and external loss of metal
from the casing. External loss is shown on the wall
thickness curve. The electronic caliber and anomaly
indicator detector curves respond to metal loss from
the inside of the casing.
DMAG amplitude plot
All data phase shift, amplitude, circumferential

section calipers and differential anomaly indicator
are recorded simultaneously on a single logging pass.
This allows selection of the frequency and spacing
best suited to specific field conditions.
Highlights
Determine joints of casing having different weights
or wall thicknesses

Analyze Casing Wear

Multi-Finger Imaging Locates Worn or Corroded Areas
ICL Imaging Caliper Log
Imaging calipers show when casing is in serviceable
condition or indicate the need for remedial action by
locating any worn and corroded areas or holes in the
casing. The imaging caliper is of particular value when
drilling operations have been carried on for an extended
period of time through the casing string, potentially
reducing the casing strength. Measurements can also
determine whether sufficient casing strength remains
to conduct safe well stimulation operations. Finally,
imaging caliper services can help identify potential
casing leaks which may be causing high water cut or
reduced production.
Operation
The range of multi-finger imaging tools provides highresolution detail on the condition of downhole tubulars.
Each tool in the family uses an array of hard-surfaced
fingers which measure very small changes in diameter. All
finger measurements are transmitted to the surface for
real-time output at maximum log resolution. The pressure
exerted by each finger is in the range of 1-1.5 pounds (4.4
to 6.7 N) of force. This allows the tools to be deployed in
chrome or plastic-coated tubulars minimizing the possibility
of damage to the coating. Additionally, this light pressure
does not scratch standard casing, eliminating a potential for
corrosion to start.
Highlights
Assess casing wear during extended drilling operations
Locate holes, casing wear and other interior defects
Perforation mapping
Scale evaluation
Benefits
Determine wear profile for remedial action
Unique centralized measurements for improved accuracy
Specifications
A range of calipers for different applications and downhole

Cement Evaluation
Pipe Recovery
Cement Evaluation
Cement evaluation tools ensure hydraulic isolation between reservoir layers by measuring the bond between
the casing and the cement pumped in the wellbore annulus. Before final well completions are made, the zones
being completed must be analyzed for hydraulic isolation to prevent possible crossflow between reservoir zones
behind the casing. Cement evaluation logs provide results to confirm zonal isolation and help you decide
whether remedial work is required before any completions are attempted.
Baker Atlas Segmented Bond Tool (SBTSM) service, Radial Analysis Bond Log (RALSM) service and Acoustic
Cement Bond Log (CBL) service provide detailed evaluations of the cement bond to casing and formation in a
wide variety of pipe sizes and borehole fluid environments. These evaluations reduce uncertainties regarding
the quality of the hydraulic isolation of zones of interest allowing more efficient completion operations while
protecting the environment.

Provide 360 Segmented Evaluation of Cement Bonding

Quantitative Analysis of Cement Bond to Casing in 60 Segments
SBT Segmented Bond Tool
The Segmented Bond ToolSM (SBTSM) service quantitatively
measures the cement bond integrity in six angular segments
around the casing. The SBT service can find and define channels
in the cement annulus which could result in a poor hydraulic
seal. Conversely, the SBT service can reliably find zones of
uniform bonding over only a few feet of casing. Under conditions
where a short-bonded interval produces an adequate hydraulic
seal, unnecessary squeeze jobs can be avoided.
Operation
The acoustic transducers are mounted on six pads positioned in
contact with the interior casing wall to provide compensated
attenuation measurements. Acoustic attenuation is measured in
two directions, using an arrangement of two transmitters and
two receivers on four adjacent arms. The two measurements are
combined to derive a compensated value that does not depend
on receiver sensitivities or transmitter power. This measurement
processing is repeated for each of the six segments.
The SBT log identifies a wide range of

cement bond conditions as indicated for the
interval X580 to X740. Partial bonding is
identified from X600 88 and X714 28,
but there is sufficient cement present to
provide hydraulic isolation.
Attempts to improve the cement condition
between X688 and X714 would most likely
be unsuccessful because adequate hydraulic
isolation exists above and below this interval,
limiting the amount of cement that could be
squeezed into this zone.
The two quality curves, DTMN and DTMX,
indicate good pad contact with the casing
wall and that the tool is properly centralized.
The SBT service offers significant operating advantages over

conventional and pulse-echo tools due to its insensitivity to heavy
or gas-cut borehole fluids, fast formations, temperature and
pressure variations, and moderate tool eccentering.
For ease of interpretation, the SBT measurements are displayed
in two log presentations. Both presentations are available in the
logging mode as the SBT data are acquired, processed and
plotted in real time. The secondary presentation consists of six
60 segmented arrays, variable-attenuation cement map and a
tool orientation trace overlay.

Avoid Costly Production Losses

Determine Effectiveness of Cement Bond in Casing/Formation Annulus
CBL Acoustic Cement Bond Log
The Acoustic Cement Bond Log (CBL) is a valuable
source of data pertaining to the effectiveness of the
cement sheath surrounding the casing. This data is
obtained by evaluating the effect of the casing, the
cement sheath, and the formation on an acoustic wave
emanating from the Acoustic Cement Bond Log instrument. The Amplitude Curve of the reflected acoustic
wave is maximum in unsupported casing and minimum
in those sections in which the cement is well-bonded to
the casing and the formation.
Operation
Part of the log presentation is a recording of the reflected
acoustic waveform either as a half-wave or full-wave
(Signature) or a Variable Density display. These waveforms
are used to identify the wave path and confirm the interpretation of the Amplitude Curve. When complete bonding is
indicated, the through-the-formation wave is identifiable
and can be used much like the openhole acoustic log.
Highlights
Determine effectiveness of cement bond in casingformation annulus

Benefits
The CBL log clearly shows well-bonded cement

below X440, ensuring hydraulic isolation across
the interval. Strong formation arrivals shown in
the VDL display indicate good cement-toformation bonding.
Partial bonding is indicated above this point,
indicating either weaker cement or potential
channels. A cement squeeze could be required if
water producing intervals existed near a productive
interval above X440. Alternatively, a Segemented
Bond Tool log should be run to better evaluate
this interval.

Pipe Recovery
Overview of Pipe Recovery Operations

Pipe can become stuck during drilling and workover
operations even when preventative measures have
been taken. When a problem occurs, special tools
and expertise are required to avoid expensive, timeconsuming trial-and-error fishing operations. Through
years of research and worldwide experience, Baker
Atlas has developed advanced wireline and pipe conveyed techniques to ensure efficient and economical
pipe recovery.
The following is an overview of the general steps that

should be performed during a pipe recovery operation.
Analysis of Downhole Problem

Determine the well configuration and events that led to the
stuck pipe condition. Work the pipe and establish a stretch
reading. After sufficiently working the pipe, obtain a free
point reading which is available with the Baker Free Point
Indicator series of downhole tools.
Backoff or Cut
After determining the free point, backoff or cut the pipe and
remove the free portion from the well.
Fishing
After retrieving the free pipe, re-enter the well to jar loose
or wash over the remaining pipe. For expediency in certain
drilling operations, the remaining pipe can be sidetracked to
reach the desired total depth.
Portable Free Point System

Surface readouts of free point tool measurements are
provided by a Free Point Indicator panel. This portable
panel and free point equipment may be used with any
electric wireline and hoist unit to run free point, string shot
or cutter services. Safety is assured through direct communication with the rig floor and the three-stage firing circuit
to arm and detonate the backoff or cutter devices.
Guardian System
The Guardian system incorporates downhole circuitry and
an exploding-bridge wire detonator to prevent accidental
firing caused by a wide range of stray voltage sources. The
Guardian system is designed for use with chemical and jet
cutters, string shot backoffs, jet circulation perforators and
setting services. For more information on this service, see
the perforating section of this catalog or contact your local
Baker Atlas service representative.

The Pipe Recovery Log provides a continuous

record of all stuck intervals and areas of possible
restrictions. These data are very useful in planning
the pipe recovery and subsequent fishing operations.
Acoustic pulses initiated by the instruments transmitter

travel through the pipe string and are measured at the
receiver. The energy level of the acoustic waves at the
receiver is proportional to the degree of sticking. Similar to
conventional cement bond log measurements, low attenuation
readings indicate free pipe and high attenuation readings
indicate stuck pipe.
Vibrations created by the pulses decrease at stuck intervals
in proportion to the severity of sticking. Both the downhole
instrument and the surface equipment utilize solid-state
electronics to ensure efficient operations.
The downhole instrument is calibrated in free pipe,
normally near the end of the surface pipe or cased interval.
After recording, a signal attenuation scale is placed on the
log. This scale, expressed in percentages, accurately
indicates the severity and extent of the stuck conditions
at each interval.
Highlights

of possible restrictions, including length and severity

Locate Free Point of Stuck Point
FPI Free Point Indicator
The Free Point Indicator (FPI) instrument is part of a
system used for recovering free drill pipe/casing/tubing
located above the stuck portion in a borehole. The primary function of the instrument is to find the free point;
i.e., the downhole location where the drillstring, tubular
or casing is not stuck. After the free point has been
found, there are several methods to separate and
recover the free section from the stuck section.

Free Point Indicator locates the lowest point from

The system is initially calibrated in free pipe to obtain an

indication of the percent of pipe freedom in digital form.
A direct-reading digital counter is utilized as a surface
indicator. Following instrument calibration, no further
adjustments are required during the course of the survey.
A motorized anchor assembly retracts enabling the instrument to pass freely through the pipe. The assembly extends
to hold the instrument securely in place during the time that
readings are made. Precise positioning of the instrument is
accomplished by use of a Collar Locator.
After the free point has been found, the FPI system can be
used to separate the free portion of the string from the stuck
portion. One procedure utilizes the FPI instrument to detonate
an explosive force at the collar while applying left-hand
torque at the surface. The explosive force is intended to
loosen the connection so that backing off the connection
separates the string. If this procedure proves to be unsuccessful
or impractical, jet or chemical cutters, or severing tools can
be used to sever the pipe.

Unlike the Permanent Magnetic Anchor Free Point instrument
or Magna-TectorSM Free Point Indicator, the Spring Anchor
Free Point Indicator instrument uses two sets of friction
springs instead of electromagnets for anchoring in the pipe
string. As such, the Spring Anchor Free Point Indicator
instrument operates effectively in aluminum or any other
nonmagnetic pipe.

Explosive Service Frees Stuck Pipe

Backoff Stuck Pipe and Release Other Stuck Hardware Such as Packers
BO String Shot Backoff
This wireline-conveyed pipe recovery tool uses a precise
quantity of explosive detonating cord to produce shock
waves. The string shot backoff procedure involves
applying left-hand torque to the pipe string at the neutral pipe weight (in neither tension nor compression).
The string shot is then positioned at the predetermined
tool joint and detonated. The explosion produces much
the same effect as an intense hammer blow and allows
the joint to be unscrewed at the proper connection. The
string shot backoff method has been improved through
years of research and experience to increase operating
efficiency without damaging the pipe string.
Operation
To make up a proper string shot, certain factors must
be determined:
1) Pipe size, weight and condition
2) Depth of backoff
3) Borehole fluid type and weight
4) Well temperature
Factors 1, 2 and 3 are needed to determine the size of the
string shot and factors 3 and 4 are needed for the selection
of the proper fuses and detonating cord. A string shot can be
constructed that readily runs through an ID as small as in.

Free Stuck Pipe Without Torquing

Flare Free Cuts Without Damaging Adjacent Tubulars
CC Chemical Cutter
Chemical cutters have been used successfully in pipe
recovery operations for many years. The chemical cutter
service has been expanded to successfully sever a
wide range of coil tubing, tubing, casing or drillpipe
sizes in a fraction of a second without damaging an
adjacent string. Recent advances in chemical cutter
technology permits this service to cut corrosion-resistant
alloy (CRA) tubulars safely and without distortion. The
cut is flare-free, burr-free and undistorted. This allows
easy engagement of an overshot without having to
dress the top of the fish.
Operation
Chemical cutters provide a flare-free, burr-free
pipe cut, eliminating any delays or expenses
required to dress the fish top.
Collar
Locator
Chemical cutters produce a flare-free, burr-free cut that

allows easy engagement of an overshot, reducing subsequent
fishing operations time and expense bringing production back
on line with minimum downtime. Since chemical cutter tools
are completely retrievable, no debris is left in the wellbore
that can complicate future downhole work.
Chemical cuts do not require the pipe to be torqued up as
does the string shot-back off. Occasionally, stuck pipe will
rotate, even though it cannot be pulled, making a backoff
impossible. Under such conditions, the chemical cutter is
the recommended service. The cutter is also designed to
perform effectively at high pressures and temperatures.

Special Cutters also Designed to Go Through Tubing Restrictions
JCS Jet Cutter
Jet cutters are available for severing practically any
size, weight or grade of downhole coil tubing, tubing,
drill pipe or casing. To perform subsequent thru-tubing
operations, special cutters are designed to go through
certain tubing restrictions such as seating nipples or
packers to sever bull plugs, tailpipe or tubing-conveyed
perforating assemblies.
Operation
The cutting action is produced by a circular-shaped charge.
This type of cutter typically leaves a flare on the severed
pipe string. To perform subsequent pipe recovery operations, it might be necessary to dress the top end of the fish
with an internal mill, usually run with an overshot.
Caution should be exercised while running the jet cutter
to avoid damage to adjacent tubing and casing strings

Perforating
Proper selection of the perforating gun, as well as the conveyance and completion program, is a necessary
undertaking to complete a well to its optimum performance. Critical parameters of a perforating guns design or
performance can have positive or negative effects on the perforated completion. Each gun system has features
and benefits that can be readily identified and used as selection criteria. This section lists the perforating systems,
and their individual benefits and strengths as well as identifying techniques and technologies for various types
of completions.

Baker Atlas
Perforating Charges Overview

Wide Selection of Perforating Systems Available to Fit Any Application
Baker Atlas offers a wide range of gun sizes, shot density and
shot-phasing options, with either deep-penetrating or big-hole
perforating charges to match specific completion requirements.
The criteria for choosing a particular perforating system varies.
The selection can be a simple matter of economics, conveyance
or anticipated well conditions. Each gun system and charge has
features and benefits that can be readily identified and used as
selection criteria.
Charges
Predator ZXSM shaped charges are our deepest-performing perforating
series. The Predator ZX shaped charge is a market leader in penetration
and performance. This system is designed to give superior performance
for natural completions by giving more connectivity to the undisturbed
area of your formation.
Predator XPSM high-performance shaped charge is a premium line of
deep-penetrating charges providing deep penetration past the damaged
or invaded zone. This charge is tested in accordance with the rigid API
RP-19B specification. The charge is designed for use with expendable
bar carrier, through-tubing expendable hollow carrier and expendable
hollow carrier gun systems.
Predator XSSM shaped charge was recently developed to address the
needs for the stimulated completion. This series of shaped charges was
engineered to alleviate some of the problems encountered with fracing
when perforating with high-end perforators. The design of these charges
optimizes the hole size for the stimulation and keeps penetration deep
enough to get past a lot of the near-wellbore damage and expose more
of the formation. Our goal was to help frac jobs become more successful
and to help our customers decrease their fracing costs.
Predator FPSM high-performance shaped charge is the new line of big
hole charge providing maximum hole size in the casing for optimum
total-open-flow-area. This charge is used with through-tubing expendable
hollow carrier and expendable hollow carrier gun systems.
PredatorTM shaped charge was developed in the 1990s and launched
the path to high-performance shaped charge technology. This charge is
available for use with expendable bar carrier, through-tubing expendable
hollow carrier and expendable hollow carrier gun systems.
Standard Deep Penetrating (DP) shaped charge is designed for
reliable performance with expendable bar carrier, through-tubing
expendable hollow carrier, expendable hollow carrier and ported
hollow carrier gun systems.
Standard Big Hole (BH) shaped charge provides a hole size that can
be used in expendable bar carrier, through-tubing expendable hollow
carrier, expendable hollow carrier and ported hollow carrier gun systems.

Producing Near-zero Skin During a Perforation Event

Dynamic Underbalance
Dynamic Underbalance Optimization Process (DUO)
Baker Hughes Dynamic Underbalance Optimization
(DUOSM) process is an analysis and job planning
system to engineer the underbalance profile and flow
duration during the perforation process, and optimize
the flow efficiency of the perforated completion.
Operations
Dynamic Underbalance flow characteristic
Dynamically underbalanced perforating is a method of

creating an immediate, but temporary, underbalance condition in the wellbore to clean up the perforations without the
need of establishing traditional static underbalance conditions.
This is accomplished by using the perforating assemblys
internal volumes to manipulate wellbore pressure and flow.
This method also addresses some operational constraints
that can exist in some completion processes.
Baker Hughes has developed a customizable vent assembly
(IGPV Inter-Gun Pressure Vent) to enable the dynamic
underbalance requirements of each perforated section. The
surge assembly creates the required pressure-drop and
flow-volume based on DUO pre-job modeling.
Highlights
Berea core perforated, cut open and examined.
Reduces or eliminates perforating damage and debris,

Uses custom-designed programs for each interval
Simplifies well preparation by removing the need for
large static pressures
Reduces risk of environmental impact

Increase Productivity
Overcome Extensive Drilling Damage
StimGun Propellant-Assisted Perforating Products
The StimGunTM family of propellant-based products offers
the industry the first fully integrated, technology-based,
and thoroughly tested tools designed to dynamically
clean up and stimulate the near-wellbore area.
Operation
The StimGun family of products consists of three unique
product offerings the StimGun Assembly, the StimTubeTM
Tool, and the Well Stimulation Tool (WST). These three
products allow for maximum stimulation design flexibility
for a wide range of well configurations.
The StimGun assembly consists of two major components
the perforating gun and the special propellant sleeve
surrounding the gun. During the perforating event, the
propellant sleeve is ignited, producing a burst of highpressure gases that enter the formation through the
perforations and create fractures. The result is improved
penetration into the formation and greater connectivity to
the wellbore.
The StimTube and WST instruments are both stimulation
tools used as an efficient and economical means to provide
stimulation to wells having existing perforations or openhole completions. They are conveyed on wireline and often
can provide economical alternatives to recompletion
and remediation.
The StimGun process maximizes connectivity

by creating fractures to extend beyond the
perforation tunnels.
An integral portion of the StimGun family of products is

the pre-job design analysis from the PulsFracTM modeling
software. The results of the PulsFrac analysis are used to
define job parameters such as propellant quantity, fluid
level requirements, pressure magnitude and duration, and
to optimize the breakdown and fracture results.
Applications
Wells with extensive near-wellbore damage
Wells with close oil or water contact, where hydraulic
fracturing is not possible

degrade shaped charge perforation performance, it actually
enhances it in some cases. The reduction of perforating
debris volume is 92% less that of steel and 82% less that of
our low-debris PERFFORMSM systems. This significant and
impressive reduction in debris helps keep wellbores cleaner

Effective Sand Control

Reduce Perforating Debris to Enhance Operations
PERFFORM Low Debris Perforating Systems
Big-hole or gravel pack shaped charges use liners
which, after perforating, re-form into solid plugs of copper
commonly called carrots. Carrots and other charge
debris can plug perforations and cause stimulation and
completion techniques to fail, leading to increased costs
and reduced operational efficiency. Plugged perforations
might not be successfully packed, reducing effective
shot density and possibly creating a potential for gravel
pack failure. PERFFORM SM shaped charges provide
low debris, carrot-free perforating operations.

PERFFORM debris is acid soluble compared to

Baker Hughes pioneered low-debris technology when

PERFFORM shaped charges were introduced in 1991, and
it has since become the industry benchmark for low-debris
perforating. The PERFFORM perforating system utilizes a
shaped charge case and a patented liner that does not produce
carrots and coarse steel charge debris. The debris is reduced
to a fine, acid-soluble powder, which is easily flowed back.
As a direct result of the smaller debris-size distribution, the
probability of plugging is significantly reduced.
The debris from the shaped charge case is soluble to
hydrochloric acid at standard concentrations and also to
the newer high-temperature organic acids.
The result is a cleaner, more productive gravel pack completion.

Prevent Formation Damage

Perforate Without Killing the Well
Snapshot CT Live Well Deployment System
The Snapshot CTSM Live Well Deployment System is
a special perforating gun system used to deploy and
retrieve perforating guns into a producing well without
having to kill the well. By not killing the well, no potentially damaging kill-weight fluids are placed across
the reservoir.
Operation
This system is used with a coiled tubing unit to convey the
guns and maintain well control during the entire operation
without introducing potentially damaging kill-weight fluid
to the reservoir.
Guns are deployed into the well with the Snapshot connector
using only stabbing and pulling motions to connect gun
sections. This is accomplished by the positive snap latch
design of the connector, requiring only set-down weight to
snap the latch sub of the upper gun into the receptacle of the
lower gun. The gun sections are uncoupled via a dedicated
ram in the deployment BOP, which when closed, compresses
keys in the latch sub to release the connection.
To transfer the detonation from one gun section to the next,
a field-proven bulkhead ballistic wet connect transfer
system featuring a donor shaped charge is used. Upon
detonation of the upper gun, the donor shaped charge
located in the latch sub perforates the bulkhead of the
transfer sub in the receptacle, and in so doing detonates
the lower perforating guns.
Applications
Underbalanced perforating of long intervals
Through-tubing interventions in deviated or

Perforate Longer Intervals while Maintaining Pressure Control
IGAR Inter-Gun Automatic Release
The Inter-Gun Auto Release (IGAR) is a modular
release tool used within the perforating gun assembly
to automatically release a portion of the perforating
guns after the guns have detonated. This feature allows
perforation of longer-length intervals on wire or coil
while at the same time allowing simple pressurecontrolled retrieval of the gun sections without the
need of expensive surface deployment systems.
Operation
The IGAR is useful in applications where it is desired to
retrieve only a portion of the perforating guns, such as
instances where limited lubricator length prohibits retrieving
the entire perforating assembly.
Detonation of the perforating guns creates a pressure
wave that travels through the IGAR to shift a piston upward.

Reduce Completion Costs

Perforate Longer Intervals on Wireline with Fewer Runs
J-GB Model J-Gun Brake
The ability to perforate multiple or long-length intervals
in one run using wireline can drastically reduce rig time,
saving completion costs. With the Model J-Gun Brake
(J-GB), longer and heavier guns are run in a single trip,
where in the past multiple runs would have been required.
This time savings can significantly reduce operating
costs for deepwater completions.
Operation
The J-Gun Brake is a compact, economical, temporary gun
anchor that minimizes gun shock to the wireline rope
socket. The J-GB is set with axial movement (up/down),
and simple overpull releases the tool and resets it to the
run-in position. Depending upon the requirements, the J-GB
can be assembled in either the Compression Set Mode to
prevent the guns from being blown downward in balanced
or slightly overbalanced applications, or in the Tension Set
Mode to prevent the guns from being blown upward
during underbalanced perforating.
Unlike other gun brake devices that attempt to restrict or
brake any movement after detonation, the J-GB is
anchored securely before the perforating event.
Additionally, the J-GB features a Gun Shock Position
that will automatically reset if movement in the opposite
direction occurs.
Highlights
Perforate longer intervals on wireline without the need
for a rig or TCP

Reliably Perforate the Upper Zone

Proven Technology to Avoid Perforating the Long String
EMO Electro-Magnetic Orienting Perforating
Inadvertent perforating of the long string can introduce
safety and production concerns, as well as unnecessary
costs and complexities. The upper zone of a dual
completion can be reliably perforated using the proven
EMO perforating system to orient the perforations
away from the long string.
Operation
Oriented perforating in the direction opposite the lower
interval production string (long string) is accomplished with
through-tubing perforating using the EMO system. Using
the properties of electro-magnetism to detect the mass of
the long string and incorporating a rugged downhole motor
and anchor, the perforating guns can be selectively rotated
to a position to fire opposite the long string.
Highlights
Fully compatible with the Guardian system
Field proven technology, years of reliability
Combinable with most perforating systems, including
the Predator XPSM high-performance shaped charges

Reduce Costs for Interventions

Perforating Deviated or Long Intervals without a Rig on Location
CTCP Coiled Tubing Conveyed Perforating
Perforating of highly deviated wells without need for a
drilling rig on location can reduce costs significantly.
Coiled tubing provides an efficient and cost-effective
conveyance method of perforating guns. Coiled tubing
provides the rigidity necessary to place perforating guns
in extended-reach wells, and has the needed the strength
to run longer-length gun assemblies compared to
conventional wireline conveyance.
Operation
Coiled tubing offers a number of operational and economic
advantages including: live well intervention, elimination of
well kill and potentially damaging fluids, reduced operational
footprint, horizontal well intervention and the ability to
intervene without a rig. Its tubular construction allows a
conduit for circulation and pressure control and, coupled
with the ability to install electric line into the tubing, makes
coiled tubing a highly versatile conveyance method.
Baker Hughes provides perforating solutions that capture
the benefits of using coiled tubing conveyance while
providing field-proven technology.

Proven Cost Savings

Save Time on Well Completions
NeoTrip One-Trip Perforate and Completion Systems
The benefits of a successful one-trip style completion
include saving rig time and minimizing fluid losses. The
NeoTripSM series of one-trip completions have been
proven in the Gulf of Mexico and other regions to
successfully provide novel solutions that save time
and offer flexibility.
Operation
Leveraging expertise from all Baker Hughes completions
technologies, the NeoTrip completion systems present a true
one-trip perforate and completion solution that is field
proven. The well is perforated after the completion, and
production equipment is in place and flanged up, so production can be brought on immediately.
Highlights
Utilizes the Hydraulic Bottom Gun Anchor (HBGA),
the Model J Bottom Gun Anchor (JBGA), or the Hang
and Release Gun Hanger (HR) to provide a temporary
platform to secure the guns on depth.
A selection of firing methods includes pressure or
mechanically actuated, redundant pressure-fire, and
slickline-conveyed passive systems.
The gun assembly is run as the bottom-most portion of
the completion. After setting the anchor to secure the guns
at shooting depth, the completion string is separated from
the bottom-hole assembly and repositioned to the desired
setting depth. The wellhead can be installed.
The completion string can be set as far uphole from
the perforating guns as desired. This allows future
completions without tailpipe interference.
After firing, the perforating gun assembly automatically
drops to bottom, providing fullbore access.

Simplify the Gravel Packed Completion

Save Rig Time and Reduce Fluid Loss
PDP Perforate and Gravel Pack Completion System
The PDP Perforate and Gravel Pack Completion System
combines proven TCP and sand control technologies.
This one-trip gravel pack completion provides benefits
such as reduced rig time and fluid loss for wells not
requiring a complex gravel pack procedure.
Operation
Leveraging expertise from all Baker Hughes completions
technologies, the PDP system presents a field-proven,
one-trip perforate and gravel pack solution. The
perforating and gravel pack operations are conducted
after the completion equipment is flanged up; production
begins immediately thereafter.
The gun and screen assemblies are run in on the completion
string with either the Hydraulic Bottom Gun Anchor (HBGA)
or the Model J Bottom Gun Anchor (JBGA) to provide a
temporary platform. The completion string is separated
from the bottom-hole assembly and raised to the desired
setting depth. The completion is set, and the well is flanged
up. The guns and screen drop immediately after firing to
the pre-determined PBTD; the screens are now across the
perforations. A simple over-the-top-style frac pack is then
performed, and the well is brought on production.

Reduce the Fracturing Costs

Directional Perforating with Respect to the Fracture Planes
TCP-AOP TCP Azimuthally Oriented Perforating
For reservoirs requiring stimulation, orienting the
perforations to the fracture plane helps reduce the
breakdown pressure. A novel TCP method allows
perforations to be azimuthally oriented using a
gyroscope and a properly aligned oriented-indicating
sub. This method provides real-time verification of the
orientation prior to perforating.
Operation
The perforating guns are aligned with the oriented-indicating
sub, which is placed above the firing head and ported disc
assembly. Once the guns are on depth, the gyroscope is
conveyed on electric line and seats in the oriented indicating
sub. With real-time reading provided by the gyroscope,
rotating the pipe at the surface aligns the perforations to
the desired azimuth.
Highlights
Positive orientation for proper alignment
Reduces costs involved with stimulating the well

Reduce the Costs Associated with Stimulating Multiple Zones

Stimulate, then Perforate, in a Single Run
PSI Parallel Perforating System
In highly deviated wells requiring staged stimulations,
numerous runs are necessary: one trip to perforate
and one trip to stimulate. The PSI Parallel Perforating
System, a special TCP application, incorporates a
perforating assembly with the workstring. Using this
system, the zones are stimulated then perforated in a
single run, thus reducing the number of runs required.
Operations
This system offers a unique approach by stimulating a lower
zone, and then moving up the hole to perforate the next
zone. The perforating gun and firing head assembly are
side-mounted to the workstring, providing non-restrictive
flow during the stimulation process.
To perforate, a pump-through plug is dropped from the
surface seats, isolating the hydraulic firing head. Pressure is
then applied to fire the gun. Additional pressure ruptures the
disc in the plug to reestablish circulation.
Highlights
Special TCP application for stimulating zones and
then perforating

Reduce Cost and Increase Efficiency on Complex Completions

Save Rig Time and Tailor the Completion of Each Zone
Tubing-Conveyed Dual String Perforating Systems
Multiple zones can be individually isolated and perforated
according to the optimum completion program for each
reservoir. Zones can be perforated underbalanced,
overbalanced, or with specialized fluids to best optimize
productivity. Tubing-conveyed perforating guns are
installed as part of the completion and positioned to
perforate away from adjacent production strings, reducing
time and increasing operating efficiency.
Operation
Tubing-conveyed perforating offers flexibility and adaptability for multi-zone, single-selective and other complex
well completion designs. Combining the TCP as part of the
completion string reduces rig time and enables the well to
be brought on production immediately after perforating. By
not killing the well to retrieve the spent perforating guns,
potentially damaging fluids are not required.
Inadvertent perforating of the long string can introduce
safety and production concerns, as well as adding costs
and complexity. Perforating in the direction opposite the
production string is accomplished by using speciallyconfigured TCP perforating guns and hardware that
maintain orientation during the trip in the hole.

Wireline Perforating Safety

Perforating Using Electrical Devices
GDN Guardian II/EBW Perforating Package
The Guardian II system is a ballistic fire control system
specifically designed for perforating safety. This system
eliminates the need for radio silence, shutting down of
cathodic protection, or welding during the perforating
operations. In areas where remote reporting sensors
and transmitters are used, the Guardian II system is
critical to ensure safety.
Operation
The Guardian II system consists of two main components:
the exploding bridgewire (EBW) detonator and electronic
modules known as the PX-1.
The EBW detonator does not contain a primary explosive
and is immune to initiation by external power sources.
Activating the PX-1 module causes a capacitor to charge
and release the stored electrical energy into the bridgewire
within the EBW detonator. This time-dependent energy
release causes the bridgewire to explode into the secondary
explosive of the detonator thus beginning the high-order
explosive process.
Highlights
Available for all perforating gun sizes
Available for both bottom-fire and top-fire systems
Available for packer setting tools and pipe
recovery applications

Wireline Conveyance Systems
Risk-Reduction Technologies

Getting In and Out of the Hole Safely
Some of the most important aspects to consider during the design, construction and productive life of a well are
the risks associated with the conveyance of downhole instruments to acquire critical formation evaluation data
while the hole is open, and the downhole toolstrings needed to service the well after installing the completion
and production hardware.
As it became more difficult to discover large oil and gas fields in relatively shallow and friendly environments,
the industry stepped out into more complex and less familiar territories requiring the creation of new technologies
and methods designed to drill, complete and produce longer, deeper and more deviated and tortuous wells.
The increased complexity of the wells increased the aggregated cost of all well interventions. In particular, the
rig cost resulting from the time required for these operations became a point of serious concern when planning
the well intervention operations.
The applicability of the different conveyance systems depicted in the table below is based on practical experience,
and is intended as a guideline only. The following pages provide more specific details on the attributes of the
specific conveyance methods.

Drillpipe Assisted Wireline Interventions

For Extreme Operations in Highly Deviated or Tortuous Well Paths
PCL Pipe Conveyed Logging
The Pipe Conveyed Logging (PCL) system allows
logging wireline toolstrings in wells with conditions
not suitable for unassisted wireline operations, i.e.
tortuous well paths, highly deviated, horizontal or
washed-out holes.
Operation
Major components of the Pipe Conveyed Logging system
The logging instruments are attached to the bottom of

the drillpipe prior to running in hole to a latching depth.
A side-entry sub is then inserted at the surface with the
wireline already threaded through it, which is subsequently
run in hole until a mechanical and electrical connection is
established with the downhole tools via the wet-connect
and tool adapter. The drillpipe and wireline are then
synchronously moved in and out of the hole as needed
to perform the intended logging operations.
Highlights
Allows logging of all Baker Atlas tool combinations
Can be connected with all drillstring types, directly or
via adapter subs
Allows multiple wet connections while logging more
than one interval without tripping pipe out of the hole
Capable of logging while going in and out of the hole
after an electrical latch
Can be used with a motion-compensated system on
semi-submersible platforms
Displays real-time cablehead compression and
tension readouts
Benefits
The PCL is most frequently requested when:
The well deviation exceeds the limit of the instruments
freefall (~ 65 deg).
Difficult hole conditions are expected, i.e. boreholes
with washed-out sections, ledges, restrictions or
excessive doglegs.
The customer elects to reduce the risk of failing to
reach the target depth or having insufficient wireline
pull capacity, such as in 20,000 ft (6,096m) or longer
boreholes where heavy toolstrings are required.

Tractor Assisted Wireline Interventions

For Fast Operations in Highly Deviated Wells
WTCL Tractor Conveyed Logging
The use of downhole tractors allows fast and
cost-effective well interventions to be carried
out in high-angle and horizontal wells where
traditional conveyance methods require
significantly more rig time, rig space, crews
or highly complex operations.
Operations
Downhole tractors are configured to pull large enough forces

to keep the wireline in tension while pushing the toolstring.
Downhole tractors are electrically powered devices

that are inserted between the wireline and the
passenger toolstring. Under the control of the
operator, they can be activated to push passenger
devices while pulling the wireline to the desired
depth in highly deviated or horizontal wells.
There are two distinctive traction methods
currently used by tractor makers:
Motorized wheels, mounted in extendable arms,
that grip the inner borehole wall
Friction pads mounted in arm assemblies
attached to the ends of a reciprocating piston.
Alternating the opening and closing of the arm
assemblies in each piston stroking cycle creates
an inch-worm type of movement.
This downhole tractor is configured with two

traction sections offset 90 degrees that include four
hydraulically driven wheels each.
Highlights
Do not require a rig in place
Tractors and surface equipment can be
transported easily.
The leading tractor models have long and
successful track records in cased hole applications.
Long-reach or tortuous-path tractor applications
require careful planning and physical tests using
the exact tractor-toolstring configuration in
representative tubulars.
Benefits
Reduce the cost of well interventions significantly,
and in some cases, offer unique conveyance
solutions by extending the operating range of
conventional wireline into high-angle and
horizontal wells.
Many additional uses have emerged for tractors
since their introduction in the mid-90s; leading
tractor providers offer add-on devices such as
heavy-duty shifting tools, milling and
cleaning heads.

Coiled Tubing and Flow Assisted Wireline Interventions

For Operations in Highly Deviated Wells
CTCW Coiled Tubing Conveyed Logging
Coiled tubing (CT) containing an electrical wireline
provides an effective alternative in well interventions
targeting high-angle and horizontal wells where other
conveyance methods are not technically or
economically viable.
Operation
The CT is used to convey the logging toolstring in and

out of the hole while the wireline embedded in it
provides the electrical power and communication path.
Benefits
Does not require a drilling rig
Suitable for high-angle or horizontal wells
Provides extra protection to the wireline
Well-suited for operations in live wells
Coiled tubing is used to push the toolstring to the desired

depth in highly deviated or horizontal wells while the
wireline embedded in the CT provides the electrical path
for downhole power and data transmission.
Highlights
Requires large/heavy CT units and a large
specialized crew
Has a limited-reach range
Large-diameter CT is not suitable for small
ID completions
Needs specialized equipment:
CT logging heads
Depth encoder CT adapters
Wireline collector rings CT adapters
TDP Pump Down Conveyance

The ability to pump down fluid while running in hole
toolstrings attached to a wireline provides a fast and
effective means of reaching highly deviated or horizontal
sections of a casing, tubing or drillpipe.
Operation
The toolstring is run in the hole as deep as possible using
wireline. When it stops, fluid is pumped in the well at a rate
calculated to create enough hydraulic force on the toolstring
to push it to the target depth.
Highlights
No additional equipment is required.
Toolstring OD is limited by the ID of the tubulars.
Toolstring pistons are typically manufactured onsite
based on the given conditions.
Requires an open circulation path in most cases
Benefits
To ensure the toolstring reaches the target depth,
piston assemblies are mounted on the string to
maximize the hydraulic forces exerted by the fluid
being pumped.
Baker Atlas
In some cases, it is the only method capable of reaching

the intended depth.
The preferred choice in pipe recovery operations, i.e. free

Modern Well Interventions Demand Innovative Techniques
Over the recent years, technologies have been introduced

that eliminate or mitigate the risks that jeopardize safe and
fast wireline well interventions in modern, complex wells.
Some of the most effective and popular technologies available

today are illustrated in the diagram at the left and their values
provided below:
1. Wireline-Forces Modeling Modern modeling software
takes the guesswork out of predicting the forces exerted
on the tools, the borehole and the wireline during well
interventions at all depths.
2. Wireline Tension-Relief Devices These devices avoid
the safety hazards associated with high tension exerted on
the wireline.
3. High-Strength Wirelines These wirelines can be used
to safely deploy heavy toolstrings in deep wells while retaining
sufficient overpull capacity.
4. Releasable Cableheads Allow wireline operations without downhole mechanical weakpoints that limit the downhole
pull capacity.
5. Wireline Jars They are a very effective means of avoiding
stuck-tool or fishing operations.
6. Low-Friction Roller Stand-offs They ease the descent
in deviated holes while reducing the risk of differential sticking.
7. Advanced Hole Finders They are designed to overcome
borehole anomalies, such as ledges, abrupt directional
changes, debris, etc.

A powered capstan reduces the risk associated
with high tension exerted on the wireline
segment between the logging unit and the rig
floor. It also prevents wireline damage caused
by spooling high-tension wireline over lowtension wireline (drum crush).
Operation
The wireline is threaded through the powered
capstans wheels which maintain the tension on
the unit side at a constant selectable amount, while
allowing downhole tensions to vary from 0 to
20,000 lb (9,072 kg).

Preventing Stuck Tools

Fishing is Costly and Should Always Be Avoided
EEJ Hydraulic Wireline Jars
ISJ Mechanical Wireline Jars
Wireline jars provide a proven and effective means of
freeing stuck tools by producing a large impact to the
toolstring rather than depending only on wireline pulls.
Operation
1
Wireline jars are inserted as near as possible to the cablehead.

If the toolstring becomes stuck and the pulling tension exceeds
a pre-set value, the jars initiate a tensile strike that is delivered
to the stuck point. If the initial strike, which is several times
greater than the maximum pull achieved, is insufficient then
additional strikes are delivered to free the toolstring.
Wireline jars should be used when:

The maximum overpull at the toolstring is restricted by the
wirelines safe-tension limit.
The selected cablehead mechanical weakpoint does not allow
sufficient overpull to be exerted to the stuck toolstring.
The wells tortuosity severely reduces the tensions that can
be pulled downhole.
The weight of the toolstring makes it more difficult to
generate significant pulls on the stuck toolstring.
The toolstring is to be maintained stationary for long periods
over permeable reservoir rocks (sampling/testing tools).
The well geometry, trajectory, mud properties and field
experience suggest that the toolstring is likely to become
differentially stuck.
The daily rig rate or the cost of deferred production makes
the financial impact of a fishing job unacceptable.

Essentials for When Well Interventions Go Wrong

Services and Equipment to Deal with Unexpected Hazardous Conditions
Contingency Services and Devices
One of the critical tasks of a well intervention planning process, often neglected, is the selection and provision
of services and equipment required to recover from conditions resulting from unplanned events.
The following is a list of the most common situations that require contingency planning ahead of time:
Unable to reach the target depth
Stuck tool
Higher wireline tensions than anticipated
Higher friction coefficient than anticipated
Not enough downhole pull capacity
Evidence of differential sticking conditions
Higher-than-expected overbalance pressures
Unexpected high-dogleg severity
Loss of mud circulation
Largely washed-out sections
Significant cuttings or debris in deviated wells
The more remote and isolated the wellsite is from major oil and gas support locations, the more important
becomes the need to have contingency equipment/services readily available onsite to avoid costly incomplete
operations, wasting of expensive rig time and the financial loss resulting from the deferred production of all the
wells planned with the drilling rig.
Alternative conveyance systems, pipe conveyed logging and downhole tractors in particular, are frequently
mobilized for jobs where the risk of not getting down to the target depth with unassisted wireline is unacceptable.
These interventions are first attempted with wireline alone, and operators will switch to pipe or tractor conveyance
only if the toolstring cannot reach the target depth.

Completing a Job While Recovering a Stuck Toolstring

Using Drillpipe and Wireline to Free Stuck Tools and Finish the Logging Job
LWR Logging While Retrieving
The use of the Logging While Retrieving (LWR) service
reduces the overall cost of a fishing operation by
allowing the completion of the logging run while
recovering a stuck toolstring.
Operation
The loose ends of the wireline, cut during a

cut-and-thread fishing operation, are spliced using
a torpedo outside the side-entry sub to allow the
logging operation to resume after the stuck
toolstring is latched and worked free.
The LWR operation starts when the wireline is threaded

from the inside to the outside of the pipe using a
side-entry sub inserted on top of a drillpipe stand during
a cut-and-thread fishing operation.
The loose ends of the wireline are then spliced using a
double-ended torpedo to recover its mechanical and
electrical integrity.
The drillpipe is then run in hole until the grapple, part of
the fishing assembly, latches on the stuck toolstring, and
the drillpipe is worked until the tollstring is free.
The logging operation is then resumed in the
required direction by moving the wireline and the
drillpipe synchronously.
After the logging operation is completed and the
side-entry sub is back at the surface, the wireline is
pulled out of the toolstring cablehead and retrieved prior
rigging down the side-entry sub and wireline to extract
the toolstring.
Highlights
Intended for cut-and-thread fishing operations
Effective in key-seated wireline, a stuck tool or when
both conditions exist
Equally applicable for stationary or moving
logging services
Not recommended when the loss of well control is a
likely event; the presence of the wireline outside the
drillpipe will not allow achieving an effective seal in
an emergency.
To provide an effective means of removing the wireline
from the well, a Hydraulic Wireline Severing Tool should
be inserted in the drillpipe fishing downhole assembly.
Requires experience personnel and careful planning
In addition to the side-entry sub, a high-strength
torpedo and dual-groove sheave wheels, shown in
this photograph, are part of the LWR kit.
Benefits
Reduces the rig time required to fish the stuck toolstring
and log the target intervals in an additional run
Eliminates the need of a conditioning trip
Reduces the number of threading events and the
associated safety hazards
Allows the use of strong weakpoints to increase the
downhole pulling capacity that helps prevent
toolstrings from getting stuck

Log Heavy Toolstrings While Avoiding a Fishing Job

Electrical Wireline Release Built in the Toolstring
ART Single-Conductor Releasable Tool
Releasable tools allow the safe removal of the wireline
and the tools above the stuck-tool section, eliminating
the need to build a mechanical weakpoint in
the cablehead.
Operation
This type of releasable tools are often inserted immediately
below the cablehead and between the top correlation/
conveyance section and the bottom passenger
tool/gun section.
These sequences depict how two releasable

tools inserted in a toolstring can be activated
individually to release the free part of a
stuck toolstring.
Depending upon which part of the toolstring is stuck, the

top or bottom releasable tool is activated to allow pulling
the wireline and free tools out of the well while leaving a
fishing neck profile looking up on the stuck-tool section.
Highlights
Includes safeguards to prevent unintentional activation
Often used in perforating and downhole
tractor interventions
Benefits
Allows a controlled retrieval of the wireline and free tools

Cutting the Wireline Quickly and Safely

Devices to Cut the Wireline Under Tension at Surface or Downhole
HWST Hydraulic Wireline Severing Tool
The Hydraulic Wireline Severing Tool provides a safe method
to remove the wireline after catching the stuck toolstring in a
strip-over fishing operation. The HWST allows the performance
of logging operations without the use of mechanical weakpoints
or releasable cableheads.
Operation
The HWST is inserted in the drillpipe fishing downhole assembly
above the overshot.
After the stuck toolstring has been secured inside the overshot, the
HWST can be activated by pumping above a pre-defined rate.
After a set of screws, holding the top piston in place, shear, the
piston rushes down to impact a ramp profile that drives a sharp
blade laterally to cut the wireline.
The wireline is then removed quickly from the well to allow
retrieval of the drillpipe toolstring.

RWCC and RWC Surface Wireline Cutters

Surface wireline cutters provide a fast and safe method to clear
the wireline from the surface well control tree when there is not
enough time to remove the wireline from the well.
Surface wireline cutters include a hydraulic cutting assembly

mounted around the wireline section going in the well above the rig
floor level and a control hydraulic pump connected through a hose to
the cutting assembly.
To cut the wireline, the operator uses the control pump, while in a
protected area, to increase the pressure on the cutting assembly until
the wireline is severed.
The RWCC cutters include a hydraulic wireline clamp that grips on
the upper part of the wireline before the cut takes place to avoid the
dangerous wireline recoil.

Nautilus Extreme High Pressure/High Temperature Logging Instruments
Nautilus is Baker Atlas range of high pressure and high
temperature logging instruments, designed for performance and reliability in the most extreme conditions. New
exploration horizons are extending the limits of borehole
depths. As these limits are extended, the pressures and
temperatures encountered become more challenging.
Operation
Nautilus Hostile instrumentation is available for conditions
up to 500 F (260 C) and up to 30,000 psi (206 MPa). The
service range features the latest technologies including complete formation evaluation, formation testing and sampling.
In addition, borehole seismic, production logging and pipe
recovery services complement the service range.
Nautilus delivers high-pressure, high-temperature reliability
and performance, coupled with the measurement integrity
and accuracy already delivered by our standard range of
instrumentation. To qualify for the NAUTILUS signature,
instruments must be rated above 400 F (204 C) and/or
20,000 psi (137.9 MPa). To determine if Nautilus HP, HT or
HPHT instrumentation will meet the challenge of your next
extreme hostile well, speak to a Baker Atlas representative.
When planning an HP, HT or HPHT logging operation, the
following factors should be considered. Hostile wells are
typically characterized either by a high temperature or a
high pressure component. There is a relationship between
the performance of instruments at temperature and pressure.
Time in the well and time the instrument is powered are
both key factors in the capability of the instrumentation
to perform in hostile conditions. Therefore, conveyance
methods and strategy is a key element of hostile instrument
performance. The performance of the instrument will vary,
dependent on the maximum pressure, the temperature
actually reached and the time deployed in the well (both
powered and un-powered). Any published specifications are
intended as a guide only and performance for specific well
conditions must be modeled and verified with a Baker Atlas
representative.

Processing and Interpretation of Diplog Data
Diplog Analysis
Processing and interpretation of DiplogSM
data offers a complete suite of computed
interpretation products for dip magnitudes
and azimuths of bed, fracture planes
and other structural features. Diplogs
can be processed automatically or
interactively for detailed structural and
sedimentological analysis.
Service Description
XX00
The Diplog traces can be displayed as

pseudo-resistivity images for an enhanced
interpretation. The traces may also be
calibrated with a shallow-focused resistivity
curve (M1R1 or RFOC) to generate a highresolution resistivity curve (Rxo) that can be
used for thin-bed formation evaluation. The
directional survey provides a graphic projection
of the well using borehole inclination and
azimuth measurements. The borehole profile
and cross-section can be generated using
either 4- or 6-arm oriented caliper data.

Processing and Interpretation of Borehole Images
Whether you are dealing with clastic or carbonate
reservoirs, highly complex structural settings, natural
fractured reservoir or requiring detailed sedimentological
interpretation, Baker Atlas' imaging analysis service
offers a complete suite of products that provide accurate
processing and interpretation of borehole image data.
Service Description
Different filters are applied to enhance image quality and
accuracy prior to interpretation. Manual (interactive) dip
computations provide for accurate geological feature identification. Structural features such as bedding, fractures,
drilling-induced fractures, borehole breakouts, sedimentary
bedding, etc. can also be easily picked. Cross-sections and
3-D borehole profiles may be generated using two-way
travel time from pre-processed acoustic image data or 6-arm
oriented caliper data from a resistivity borehole imaging tool.
Image is representative of log
Advanced borehole imaging products allow for detailed

structural interpretation and identification of basic structural
features such as formation tops, faults and unconformities.
Results of borehole image structural analyses can be
integrated with seismic data to verify or enhance an existing
structural model. Detailed fracture interpretation includes
description of the dip and strike of fracture sets, apparent
length, spacing and statistical results. A semi-quantitative
calculation of fracture aperture and porosity estimation is
also available. Borehole image sedimentological interpretation from acoustic and/or resistivity images is used to
identify sedimentary facies or lithofacies. Image log interpretation can be integrated with additional wireline log or
core information for advanced reservoir description.

Cased Hole Analysis
The Reservoir Performance Monitor (RPM) instrument
has several operational modes for formation evaluation
and saturation analysis. In Pulsed Neutron Capture
(PNC) mode the time spectra from short-spaced and
long spaced detectors are processed to provide traditional
thermal neutron capture cross sectional information to
compute water saturation in reservoirs with saline
formation water. The Carbon/Oxygen (C/O) mode utilizes
inelastic gamma ray spectroscopy measurements to
compute water saturation in reservoirs that contain fresh,
mixed, or unknown water salinity water (e.g. water flood
programs). GasView is a salinity-independent method
that utilizes the PNC-3D mode which incorporates the
innovative 3rd detector in the RPM-C tool to provide
improved gas detection and saturation measurements.
Formation water saturation analysis can be

performed using PNC Sigma or Carbon/Oxygen
measurements (C/O analysis shown).
