Gamma Ray – Casing Collar Locator Tool
Provides accurate correlation of log depth to formation gamma ray and casing record.
Applications
- Real-time depth control of cased hole log data
- High Temperature wells up to 475°F (246°C)
Features and Benefits
- Versatile tool for simultaneous acquisition of background gamma ray and casing/tubing collars
- Compatible with all HD-platform tools
Tool Description
The Weatherford gamma ray and casing collar locator is a combined gamma ray and CCL tool which provides a passive measurement of gamma radiation by means of a sodium iodine scintillation detector and identifies changes of metal thickness by means of a collar locator.
The telemetry gamma ray and casing collar locator is a combined gamma ray and CCL tool with a telemetry control unit which provides a passive measurement of gamma radiation by means of a sodium iodine scintillation detector and identifies changes of metal thickness by means of a collar locator. The telemetry control unit is the communications control center for the logging system. The tool controls the collection of data from the tools below and packages it for the transmission to the surface system.
