Platform Express

Integrated Wireline Logging

Platform Express* integrated wireline logging Applications
technology is a revolutionary milestone in
■ Reservoir delineation
wireline logging. Compared with the tradi-
tional triple-combo, Platform Express logging ■ Hydrocarbon saturation
is faster and more cost effective because it determination and imaging
HGNS
requires significantly less time from rig-up ■ Movable-hydrocarbon
to delivery of the final answer. The Platform determination
Express equipment is less than half the ■ Location of porous and
length of the triple-combo—requiring less permeable zones
rathole—and it weighs about half as much.
■ Gas detection
By using integrated sensors and innovative
technology to improve pad contact, the ■ Porosity analysis
Platform Express platform delivers high-res- ■ Lithology determination
olution imaging measurements that are depth ■ Well-to-well correlation
matched and speed corrected in real time.
■ Thin-bed analysis
The Platform Express toolstring includes
either the AIT* Array Induction Imager Tool
or High-Resolution Azimuthal Laterolog
Sonde (HALS) as the resistivity tool. The
Three-Detector Lithology Density (TLD) tool
and Micro-Cylindrically Focused Log (MCFL)
are housed in the High-Resolution Mechanical
Sonde (HRMS) powered caliper. Above the
HRMS HRMS are a compensated thermal neutron
and gamma ray in the Highly Integrated
Gamma Ray Neutron Sonde (HGNS) and
a single-axis accelerometer.
Numerous innovative features are integrated
in the Platform Express toolstring. The spe-
cially designed TLD skid reduces hole rugos-
ity effects through improved pad application.
The integrated hardware and software of the
sensors improves system reliability. The real-
time speed correction provided by the single-
axis accelerometer for sensor measurements
enables accurate depth matching of all sensors
even if the tool cannot move smoothly while
HALS AIT recording data. The resistivity, density, and
microresistivity measurements are high reso-
lution. Logging speed is 3,600 ft/hr [1,097 m/h],
which is twice the speed at which a standard
triple-combo is run.
