Geoscience industries require reliable tools to ensure accurate and objective results in even the most demanding conditions. When it comes to your project, you must invest in the most effective systems to minimize costs and maximize the benefits. That’s where Mount Sopris Instruments’ geophysical borehole logging tools come in.
Mount Sopris Instruments is a leading manufacturer of geophysical slimhole borehole logging systems for groundwater, mining, research, geotechnical, and other applications – featuring a complete range of stackable wireline probes, rugged logging winches, versatile data loggers, and best-in-class WellCAD software.
Sales and Rentals
Our team designs and produces industry leading tools that play a big role in the operations of private and government agencies engaged in geophysical activities. We offer our innovative systems at competitive prices to help you reduce costs while maintaining accuracy and productivity on site. Buying any of our borehole geophysical equipment is ideal if you’re managing a long-term project. You don’t have to secure and renew rental contracts, so you can save more in the long run.
Equipment rental, on the other hand, is a good option if you’re dealing with short-term projects. You may hire or rent many of our tools for a specific number of days or weeks, depending on your goals and requirements. Our products are available at affordable rental rates. Call us for inquiries and reservations.
In addition, we supply genuine parts to keep your system in good working condition.
Repair Services
In line with our commitment to serving all of your geophysical logging needs, we provide excellent after sales support. If your system needs immediate repair, call us and we’ll provide you with shipping instructions. We’ll let you know if the work required is still covered by our 6-month limited warranty.
So how can we help you? Contact us today to discuss your needs and concerns.
What is Borehole Logging?
The term logging refers to making a record of something. In the world of geoscience, logging can take on many forms, including core-logging, cuttings-logging, petrophysical logging, and geophysical borehole logging. The purpose of borehole logging is to measure in-situ physical properties in either cased or uncased boreholes to understand geology, fluid flow, and borehole integrity. Geophysical borehole probes or sondes measure natural gamma ray, electrical, acoustic, stimulated radioactive responses, electromagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance, pressure and other properties of the rocks and their contained fluids.
Geoscience industries require reliable tools to ensure accurate and objective results in even the most demanding conditions. A standard borehole logging system includes a probe, winch, data logger, PC, and logging software. When it comes to your project, you must invest in the most effective systems to minimize costs and maximize the benefits. That’s where Mount Sopris Instruments’ geophysical borehole logging tools come in.

| Type of Log | Properties Measured | Application |
| Spontaneous Potential | Electrical potential caused by salinity difference in borehole and interstitial fluids | Lithology, shale content, water quality |
| Single-Point Resistance | Resistance of rock, saturating fluid, and borehole fluid | High-resolution lithology, fracture location by differential probe |
| Resistivity | Resistivity in ohm-meters, of rock and saturating fluids | Quantitative data on salinity of interstitial water; lithology |
| Natural Gamma | Gamma radiation from natural or artificial isotopes | Lithology – may be related to clay and silt content and permeability; spectral identified radioisotopes |
| Gamma-gamma | Electron Density | Bulk density, porosity, moisture content, lithology |
| Neutron | Hydrogen content | Saturated porosity, moisture content, activation analysis, lithology |
| Sonic | Compressional wave velocity | Porosity, lithology, fracture location and character, cement bond |
| Acoustic Televiewer | Acoustic reflectivity of borehole wall | Location, orientation, and character of fractures and solution openings, strike and dip of bedding, casing inspection |
| Caliper | Hole or casing diameter | Hole-diameter correction to other logs, lithology, fractures, hole volume for cementing |
| Fluid Column Temperature | Temperature of fluid near sensor | Geothermal gradient, in-hole flow, location of injected water, correction of other logs, curing cement |
| Fluid Column Conductivity | Resistivity of fluid in hole | Quality of borehole fluid, in-hole flow, location on contamination plumes |
| Flow | Velocity of net flow in borehole | In-hole flow, location, and apparent hydraulic conductivity of permeable interval |
