Casing Surveyor

The Casing Surveyor™ is the latest in high-quality sonar tools for surveying fluid/mud-filled pipe & casings.  Designed by Sonasearch, using their thru-pipe technology, this state-of-the-art device provides a new and unique method of acoustic inspection, enabling oil companies to accurately measure the internal diameter, shape/deformation & inner-string wall thickness of nested, multiple-tubing strings/casings.

Among the advanced characteristics incorporated within the Casing Surveyor design:

1. High-resolution, multi-point measurement of the inside diameter and wall thickness of inner tubing strings, depicting tubing deformation and inside surface imperfections with significant accuracy in a 360-degree horizontal plane.

2. The ability to shoot through the inner tubing and provide multi-point measurement of the inside diameter & deformations of at least one outer tubing string/casing.

The Casing Surveyor is simple to use, transmitting survey data to the surface-based Casing Surveyor communications console in real time, creating an accurate picture of the tubing/casing shape and size, depicting tubing/casing characteristics through horizontal and vertical cross sectional images as well as 3-D renderings and data tables.

3-D Casing Reports include a complete, 360-degree tubing/casing wall table providing tubing/casing radii deviation, an abbreviated short tubing/casing radii table and a maximum tubing/casing radii table.
New advanced features only available in the Casing Surveyor have been designed to solve some of the industries most common problems and make this tool rise above current technology. For example:

• The ability to accurately ensonify tubing/casings of 8.9 – 34cm (3.5" – 13.375") diameter through either water or water/oil-based drilling mud, providing accurate, timely, unambiguous data on which to base tubing/casing remediation decisions.

• The ability to provide continuous, high-resolution, 360-degree survey coverage of the tubing/casing wall at logging speeds of 30fpm or more.

• The advanced EHRS (Electronic Heading Reference System) allows accurate registration of tubing/casing
anomalies in a single pass. The updated system takes only one minute for reference calibration.

• State-of-the-art software runs on modern, Windows-based computers.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information,
which is proof against all argument,
and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance.
That principle is condemnation before investigation." --
