The energy industry is responding to market demands by re-visiting Pennsylvania's oil and gas fields. Oil and gas drilling activity in Pennsylvania has increased significantly in recent years. Well logging is an important tool in oil and gas development, facilitating the evaluation of potential subsurface reservoirs by geologists, geophysicists and engineers. In order to meet the increasing demand for well logging, ARM has acquired a new state of the art well logging truck. The logging system is mounted on a four wheel drive F350 diesel truck that is small and mobile, which allows it to reach wells easier than larger logging trucks. The truck provides state of the art logging capabilities including a full suite of standard electric logging tools, optical televiewer, acoustic televiewer, heat pulse flowmeter, neutron, density, and sonic tools. |

ARM’s logging service allows cost effective determination of rock and fluid properties that are key to characterizing and understanding an oil and gas reservoir such as porosity, formation thickness, fluid saturation, pressure, permeability, lithology and mineralogy, and rock mechanical properties, among others. These data allow geologists and engineers to evaluate potential hydrocarbon reserves and reservoir producibility, decide where and how to complete the well, and where to drill the next well. |

New Borehole Logging Truck

Logging wells for coal bed methane (CBM) production can help maximize the reserves and rate of gas extraction while keeping costs down. Information from logging can aid in optimizing well design, placement, completion, stimulation and production. Information obtained from logging includes coal thickness, depth, gas content, and the permeability and mechanical properties of the targeted coal seams and surrounding strata.
Borehole geophysical logs also have environmental and geotechnical applications. Logs can provide valuable information regarding the physical properties of soil, rock, and groundwater. Structural information such as strike and dip of lithologic and bedrock fractures can be obtained. Hydrogeologic information including identification of water producing and receiving zones, flow rate measurements, and estimates of permeability, porosity, moisture content, and specific yield can be provided from the logs.
