Description

The QL40-DEN Compensated Density & Caliper probe is a versatile wireline tool that can be used in a wide variety of logging applications. Measurements include SSD (short-spaced density), LSD (long-spaced density), Compensated density (dual density), and Caliper. The tool section is designed for operation in 2 to 12 inch (5 – 30 cm) boreholes.

This dual detector, high resolution density tool is fully characterized, producing accurate near and far density measurements transformed into compensated density by use of stand-off / compensation algorithms. These algorithms produce effective data even when borehole rugosity and fractures adversely affect accuracy of uncompensated logs.

The QL40-DEN tool is stackable within the Quick Link (QL) product line or it can be run as a standalone tool.
