New ZealandWireline Express - FTSensor Orientation

High quality X-Y density data in deviated wellbores in New Zealand

Petromac Wireline Express enables cross density measurement.

Recorded in an 8.5” deviated wellbore in New Zealand, at up to 52deg deviation.

9 Tool Taxis provided an optimum positioning of all sensors of the Quad-Combo/Dual-Density toolstring. They also reduced the drag to a minimum and oriented the bottom Guide upwards in order to navigate to TD past the multiple borehole breakouts.

A modified flex-joint connected the two Density tools, with the measuring skids aligned perpendicular to each other.

The lower Y-Density tool was oriented to record density on the low side of the wellbore.

Petromac Centering Taxis perfectly centralized the upper X-Density tool in the borehole so that the density skid made perfect contact with the wellbore wall when it was opened.
