Deepwater Formation Evaluation

Wireline Logging

Wireline logging determines which formations intersected by the wellbore may contain hydrocarbons (typically less than 1 percent of the well), and takes measurements to provide descriptive and quantitative evaluations of the rock penetrated, and the type and amount of fluid contained therein.

In logging the well, Baker Atlas uses four main types of equipment:

the downhole instrument (which measures the data), the computerized surface data acquisition system (to store and analyze the data), the cable or wireline (which serves as both mechanical and data communication link with the downhole instruments), and the hoisting equipment to raise and lower the instruments.
