Capabilities

  • Display and record Hotwire (Total Gas)
  • Display and record Chromatograph
  • Record ROP
  • Transmit real time data over the internet (Requires internet access at the location) 
  • Generate LAS files from the viewer.
  • Display hotwire readings on electronic geolograph such as Pason, Totco, Epoch etc.
  • Calibrate monitor and test the unit remotely.


The log generated by this software is 100% compatible with our OfficePro viewer.

(Free download from www.sutlog.com)

With OfficePro:

  • View and navigate through the log easily.
  • Print the log.
  • Change the scale in the ROP and Gas columns
  • View or print the log in 1", 2", 2.5" and 5" scales.
  • Generate LAS files so that the data can be imported into other software
  • Use the Real Time version of OfficePro to view the log as it is being recorded.


Requirements

  • Electronic geolograph ..Since this equipment is designed to require little human intervention, an electronic geolograph is necessary to keep the footage accurate on the gas logging software. Any depth corrections made on the geolograph will be reflected on the log.
  • 110 volt power source


Hotwire Readings

  • The hotwire is updated  50 times / second. The maximum hotwire reading is recorded each foot.
  • A real time file containing timed data is stored on the logging computer.
  • The Hotwire is calibrated to 1% methane = 50 units  (This calibration can be set to 100 units or higher if requested by the client)
  • Calibration and testing of the equipment can be done remotely from the Suttles Office.


Chromatograph Readings

  • The chromatograph typically cycles every 5 minutes. This allows enough time for the lighter hydrocarbons C1 - nC4 to elute from the column. If heavier hydrocarbons are present, the chromatograph cycle time will need to be increased.
  • The chromatograph readings are automatically recorded  and associated with the corresponding hotwire readings on the log.

(NOTE: C4 readings recorded on the log are a total of iC4 and nC4)

(NOTE: C5 readings recorded on the log are a total of iC5 and nC5)

C1=Methane C2=Ethane  C3=Propane iC4=Iso Butane nC4 Normal Butane iC5= Iso Pentane C5= Normal Pentane :

Real Time Internet

When a high speed internet connection is available on location, the log can be broadcast in real time. (updated in 30 second intervals)

(If an internet connection is not available on location,Suttles will supply it for an additional fee)

  • A web page will be generated that gives generic information such as Depth, Lag Depth and Hotwire reading. This  page can be accessed very quickly with cell phones with internet access.
  • The real time gas log can be accessed from a PC using the Real Time version of OfficePro. Use the Real Time OfficePro to open the last log that was emailed to you  then click the Real Time button. The log will start updating .. It will show the current footage and hotwire at the top of the viewer and the log itself will be updated every 2 ft or up to the minute if you click refresh.


Maintenance

The logging computer can be controlled and monitored from the Suttles Office.

The following can be done remotely.

  • Monitor the flow through our sample line with electronic flow meters.
  • Force the equipment to pull room air to check the zero on the hotwire.
  • Inject test gas to test the hotwire and to calibrate if necessary.
  • Monitor the chromatograph
  • Read the drilling information from the electronic geolograph.

If a problem occurs that can't be repaired remotely, we have technicians ready to go to the location to repair it.
