NeuraLaserColor, a Windows-standard device to print from any log-capable Windows application, has been released by Neuralog Inc. The company developed this color log printing solution in cooperation with Lexmark, a printing solution provider to businesses and consumers in more than 150 countries.

NeuraLaserColor uses the latest in technology with Lexmark’s fifth-generation print engine enabling continuous log printing at speeds of 7 in./second in color and 8.7 in./second in black and white. Neuralog’s Continuous Form Attachment controls start-up, flow, and cut of the well log paper, making this an ergonomically friendly and trouble-free solution. In addition, NeuraLaserColor comes with 12 months onsite warranty in the continental US and in selected overseas locations.

“Log data and their analyses are essential to the industry’s understanding of the rock and fluid properties of oil- and gas-bearing reservoirs,” Javan Meinwald, Neuralog’s vice president of business development, said. “Modern displays of log and analytical data are in color and have high levels of detail to make them more easily understandable while providing the maximum amount of information.”

NeuraLaserColor connects to your local area network through standard Internet protocols. The 32-bit and 64-bit drivers support all the latest Windows-based PCs. Printer status can be monitored from an easy-to-use operator panel or from a Web interface for workflow efficiency. As a network printer NeuraLaserColor can be accessed and shared throughout your office to be a one-stop printing solution. http://www.neuralog.com/

Expro unveils new memory camera

Expro unveiled its latest SL2K memory camera at the 2009 SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition held in The Woodlands, Texas.

The SL2K memory camera is a highly portable and mobile downhole memory camera system that enables operators to view conditions in wells without the expense of an electric-line logging unit. The 111⁄16- in. outside diameter battery-powered memory camera can be deployed on slickline or coiled tubing and is used to survey wells with H2S or CO2. The tool is rated to 225°F (107°C) and 10,000 psi rating, although the temperature limit increases to as high as 250°F (121°C) in low pressure conditions.

The SL2K memory camera has been deployed on 15 projects in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Slope of Alaska.

“The improved features of the Expro SL2K memory camera facilitate fewer trips into the well for our customers, offering operators a more cost-effective and efficient way to identify downhole problems,” said Jeff Whittaker, Expro technical champion, downhole camera services. “Eliminating unnecessary trips into the well is very important for coiled tubing operations, where one single trip could cost from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on well conditions.”

The new model has an improved memory over the previous one, with an elevenfold increase in the number of captured images. It can capture up to 2,200 video images and program up to three time intervals at capture rates of 1, 2, or 5 frames per second, which is an equivalent of a 36-minute e-line survey or a 5-minute motion video.

Another added feature of the new camera is that, unlike its predecessor, depth is recorded at the surface during the survey and integrated on to the video images post-survey. This information is beneficial because identifying the problem does not provide the full story. An operator also must know where the problem is relative to the completion detail to properly address it. The added depth information is essential when multiple problem areas are identified in the survey. Depth, temperature, and annotations made during the survey are integrated on the video images post-survey. The survey is then recorded on to a CD that includes ProView, Expro’s playback and review software.

The SL2K memory camera enables operators to obtain downhole images on slickline when the cost or logistics of mobilizing an electric- line unit or fiber-optic unit are prohibitive. The ability to increase or decrease the capture rate allows operators to modify the logging survey to better suit their needs for diagnosing stationary objects or inspecting dynamic motion such as fluid entries or safety valve actuations. http://www.exprogroup.com/
