An API-calibrated tool provides azimuthal gamma rays, ultrasonic imaging, a caliper, azimuthal unipole sonic, and precision inclination measurements for geosteering and well logging.

Advanced Formation Evaluation

Scientific Drilling’s new Unconventional Logging Tool (ULT) is a compact, integrated LWD system. Therefore, it encompasses three principal services. The service optimizes for logging unconventional reservoirs and the benefits of geosteering. The ULT offers a cost-effective solution for intelligent completion designs. Above all, to improve production and optimize costs.

Most importantly, all three ULT sensors provide azimuthal data while rotating. Meanwhile, a 3-dimensional model of the reservoir can be built with the Logging While Drilling data. Compared to other service companies, the integrated sensor design shortens the tool length to 15’ and reduces the LIH cost. Thus, providing similar measurements with independent collar designs.

The ULT’s innovative design is industry-first. Which proves Scientific Drilling’s continued commitment to developing new technologies. To optimize further the drilling, evaluation, and development of resources.
