Cardinal On Wire

Welcome to Cardinal Surveys Company's Home Page. Our intent is to construct a web site that will be useful to any petroleum professional in the oil and gas industry who is interested in production logs, injection profiles, radioactive tracers, radiation safety, and after stimulation logs. You will find information on preparation, general procedures, safety, and regulatory concerns.

This site was designed to be compatible with both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer, and now Mozella Firefox. Graphics have been kept as small and simple as possible to reduce dead time at our site.


Services Offered

ANNULUS TRAC-III
Annulus Production Logging on pumping wells. The 7/8" O.D. logging tool string allows us to travel down the tubing annulus and document producing conditions on a real time basis.
FLOWING TRAC-III
Production Logging on flowing wells.
TAGMASTER
High pressure tagging system that injects radioactive material down stream of all pumps, blenders, and manifolds.
GAMMA-TROL II
Temperature and Gamma Ray Log used to determine the placement of well stimulations and treatments.
INJECTION PROFILE
Used by the oilfield industry to determine the destination of injected fluids in secondary and tertiary flood projects. Profiles are also used by chemical and other industries to confirm wastes are being injected safely in appropriate zones in hazardous waste wells.
INTERFACE LOG
Proven method for accurately controlling placement of profile modification sealants and treatment chemicals.
GAMMA SpecTrol
Spectral Gamma Ray logging used to determine the placement of well stimulations and treatments traced with multi-isotopes.
STEP RATE TESTING
Controlled injection rates while bottom-hole pressures are measured and recorded are then plotted to show the Formation Parting Pressure (FFP). 
PRESSURE TESTING (Pressure Transient Analysis)
Pressure Tools, Real-Time and Memory Gauge / Pressure analysis (build up, fall off)
Other Services:           
Memory tool production logging - slick line or coiled tubing (CT) conveyed, high temperature
Production Log Analysis, including calibrated Water Cut, Absolute Fluid Entry Volumes

     Velocity Calculator - Convert BPD to Linear Velocity!



Wolfberry and unconventional production logs:  Zone-by-zone breakdown of production in wells on rod pump artificial lift, even small casing sizes.  4 1/2" casing with 2 3/8" tubing have been successfully logged.  Don't make guesses or assumptions about your well, use the best available technology to scientifically determine your well's performance.  See link above, Annulus Trac-III.

Spectral Gamma Ray Stimulation Evaluation:

Multi-channel gamma spectrum logging. Recognizes scandium, antimony, and iridium used to trace stimulation fluids. May be run in conjunction with temperature logs. Merged and analyzed data available in field immediately after logging passes are completed. Tool size: 1 ¼ in. May be run as soon as stimulation treatment is completed.  New, improved analysis algorithm and simplified telemetry.


Coalbed Methane Wells:

Production logs of coalbed methane (CBM) gas producers.  The Annulus Trac III log is used to identify the actual productive zones, and verify downhole mechanical configuration.  In a recent application, 10 wells were logged using the exclusive 7/8" O. D. logging tools.  Modification of the down-hole configuration of one well paid for the cost of logging all 10 wells in less than one month!  Further workovers are planned to increase production for the lease based on the diagnostic results from the Trac III logs.  If you expect a continuing firming in the natural gas market place, now is the time to diagnose and plan workovers for coal-seam wells!  Cardinal Surveys has more experience in logging coalbed methane wells while under actual producing conditions than anyone in the World.


Food for Thought on Technology...

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 Celsius.

The Russians used a pencil.
