TDS COMPUTERIZED LOGGING UNITS are state-of-the-art computer systems using Mainlog Mudlogging software for generating mud logs, daily drilling reports and show reports on your drilling locations. The system produces mud logs that are vastly superior to conventional hand drawn mud logs in accuracy, quality and access. Field units use a computerized data gathering system that interfaces with existing instrumentation. Chart recorders are installed for data back up on both the total gas detector and the chromatograph. An event pen on one of the recorders also backs up penetration rate data. The standard TDS Mainlog unit will monitor total combustible gas, chromatograph gases and penetration rates. Optional drilling parameters can also be monitored and the digital data presented graphically. For example gamma ray data is often imported and plotted in the rate of penetration column on the mud log. The program is an expert system, designed with attention to well site conditions and has been thoroughly field tested.
Computer systems and instantaneous communications have become mandatory in today's competitive high tech world. Penetration rates are too fast for a ruler and the traditional mud logging tools to keep up with. Oil companies may have limited personnel working several projects who cannot always be on location. Now you and your non-operating partners can have mud logs and reports on your office, home or laptop computer via the World Wide Web, allowing you to monitor your well data with microsecond accuracy.
This is accomplished by transmitting on demand the mud logs, drilling and show reports from the logging unit via a 2 way satellite system and backed up by a separate telecom program, JFT, which communicates over land lines, cellular phones, (400Mhz, or satellite), to our operations center. The JFT communications program is data secure and password protected to insure the privacy of your data. Your logs and reports are then converted to self-extracting files and placed on our secure password protected web site for you to download. In critical drilling situations, well information can be available for you to download, at our web site GoTDS.com or via e-mail 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
You can see the log and reports on your computer screen in minutes, even if the well is half way around the world. The Mainlog program will produce mud logs at scales of five inches, two inches, two & one half inches, or one inch per 100 feet. The Mainlog program is fast and produces graphics with superior resolution. Since all data is digital, quality is essentially perfect. Illegible faxes and deteriorating paper records are no longer concerns. At the touch of a button, the well data can be written to a disk, exported to an ASCII file or LAS output, then imported to any other computer system or analysis program. Spread sheets, databases, and other log analysis programs can use the data. It can be used as input to E-log programs, seismic products, and a vast range of computer tools now in use. All data can be compressed and archived to a hard disk for vastly more efficient storage and retrieval of logs.
The TDS Mainlog System is the proven expert mud logging system in common use and familiar to many large operators. The open data format, ability to export files to other computer programs, and its presentation quality graphics makes it an indispensable tool for you to use in your continuing exploration for oil and gas.
