Borehole Logging Guide




The field of examining the ground to determine the value of the minerals and materials has become extremely competitive due to oil and gas companies becoming dependent on this vital information. The process of drilling for oil example can be a costly process as is and so there needs to be a level of certainty that the job is worth it, there is nothing worse that the time, effort and money being spent to simply find out it wasn’t worth it. This is where you will find that borehole logging services come into play.

In order to determine the value of the minerals and materials, a technique called borehole logging is used which is a great choice if you want minimal disturbance to the earth and surrounding area. The process requires a small hole to be made before a log is lowered into it, the log then evaluates the resistivity of the rock which will allow the determination of the value. A specialist software is used to process the data and will allow experts to decide whether the excavation is worthwhile, a vital piece of information that can save you both in time and money if it turns out there is no value.

The specialist equipment needed for such practices may become pricey if purchasing all at once and therefore, many businesses tend to rent the equipment. This is a great way to save money and also gain advice from the professionals with any questions you may have as well as suggestions on models and use. Especially if you are a smaller business or just starting out, renting allows you the freedom to receive the benefits of the best equipment without the price tag. It is also a good idea to work with a company who has a wealth of experience with a range of clients, allowing you to get the best service and knowledge for your project.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly.  Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
