1 Personnel Safety
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD exits from 250VAC on pins 1 and 4 of the 31-pin connector at the
bottom of the electronics cartridge assembly, at pins 2 and 4 of TB1 PCB, and at the body and
mounting bracket of power transformer T1. If power is applied when the electronics cartridge
housing has been removed, use caution to avoid personal injury caused by touching these areas.

2 Equipment Safety
The electronics of this tool contains CMOS devices. To prevent damage to these devices, power off
the tool, take precautions against static electricity discharge, and ensure solder iron is
earth-grounded, with no electrical leakage, before soldering any components or connections in the
electronics cartridge.
Do not move the HT wires to avoid damage to the wire shields which may cause poor contact and
log quality.
The PTM inclinometer assembly in the electronics cartridge contains components easily damaged
by vibration and shock which should be avoided. If the location or amplitude of an accelerometer or
magnetometer in this assembly is changed, the tool must be re-calibrated.

Measurement Principle
Version : 3.1
Tool Name Revised by Release Pages: 2
CE2 Chris.Zhang Date: 2011-10-20

1 Measurement Principle CE2 – PTM:

The PTM consists of a 3-axis Accelerometer, 3-axis Magnetometer, temperature sensor, gain
amplifier, low-pass filter and compensating circuit. The 3-axis accelerometer measures Ax, Ay, and
Az of the gravitational field; the flux-gate magnetometer measure Fx, Fy, and Fz of geomagnetic
field; the temperature sensor measures temperature of the borehole environment; the gain amplifier
and low-pass filter processes the signals measured; the compensating circuit controls or corrects for
baseline shift, sensitivity, nonlinearity, and temperature The principle of PTM is shown in Figure 1
and Figure 2.

2 Error Compensation

2.1 Error analysis

There are four types of sensor errors:
a) Errors associated with the precision (accuracy) of the sensor due to baseline shift and/or
sensitivity (gain), and geometric error in deviation or relative bearing.
b) Error caused by environment, including installing error and bearing error. Installing error was
mainly shown in zero error of sensor, which can be controlled in a limited scope by careful
adjustment. And, the sensor will be affected by surrounding ferromagnetic substance, which
will cause bearing output deviation, that’s why there is bearing error. Bearing deviation
includes zero error, sensitivity error and orthogonal degree error of sensor.
c) Induced error by improper installation or careless adjustments.
d) Lack of environmental considerations such a close proximity of magnetic material.

2.2 Error compensation

Induced errors as described in ‘b.’ can be avoided with proper handling and attention to detail. This
is a systematic error and will result in inaccurate measurements. Accelerometers and magnetometers
have individual coefficients associated by temperature and other considerations. This is part of
proving the sensors function properly by verifying results in the laboratory with a test fixture or
equivalent. A ‘localized’ adjustment or calibration that is performed incorrectly will guarantee
inaccurate results. Error compensation based on introduced errors will not function properly.
Dedicated attention to detail and proper handling will give a reasonable chance for success.
Systematic procedures must be in place to gain consistency of results.

Quality Control Guidelines
Version : 3.1
Tool Name Revised by Release Pages: 6
Gallop-C07 Chris.Zhang Date: 2011-10-6

Foreword
Certification of the data acquired is an important aspect of logging. It is performed through the
observation of quality indicators and can only be completed successfully when a set of specified
requirements is available to the log users.
This manual is the first external publication of the log quality control specifications used by Gowell.
It is distributed to facilitate the validation of Gowell logs at the wellsite or at the office.
Because the measurements are performed downhole in an environment that cannot be exhaustively
described, Gowell cannot and does not warrant the accuracy, correctness or completeness of log
data.
Large variations in well conditions require flexibility in logging procedures, and in some cases,
important deviations from the guidelines given in this manual may be observed. These deviations
may not affect the validity of the data collected but could reduce the ability to check that validity.
Recognizing and reporting an anomaly helps to make the best use of the data and to improve future
logging jobs.

1. Calibration Checks
When checking the Shop Summary, Before Survey Summary and After Survey Summary, the
following detailed checks should be made:

1.1 Shop Calibration Validity

a. Shop calibration is attached.
b. The calibration date has not expired.
c. Shop calibration tool numbers, tools used and tool numbers in the Remarks section on
the heading must be the same.
d. Values must be within tolerance, or expected range, and the same software version
must be used as for the log.

1.2 Before Survey Accuracy

a. Before Survey calibration is attached.
b. The date and time listed indicate that the calibration was made less than 12 hours before

Page 20
logging.
c. Values must be within tolerance or expected range, and the same software version used
as for the log.
d. Input values must match the Shop calibration.

1.3 After Survey Drift

a. After Survey Summary is attached.
b. The date and time listed indicate that the calibration was made less than 12 hours after
logging.
c. Values must be within tolerance or expected range, and the same software version used
as for the log.
The detailed calibration tolerances are listed in the log sections of the tool specific Quality Control
chapter. In some cases, the tolerances are shown on the calibration summary.

2. Operating Technique
This section deals with those aspects of the log over which the logging engineer normally has direct
control.

2.1 Depth-Matching
a. Gowell standard depth control procedures are to be followed to provide accurate
depth measurements. Normally the first log run in the well is the master log and should
be used as the depth reference for all subsequent logs. Depth-matching between logs
should be as follows:
Range Tolerance
5,000 – 10,000ft ±1ft

10,000 – 15,000ft ±2ft

15,000 – 20,000ft ±3ft

If the tool is sticking while logging, these tolerances may be impossible to achieve, in which case
the tension curve should be checked to facilitate interpretation,
b. In sub-vertical wells, curves from the same log should be on depth with respect to each
other. In deviated holes and certain formations this may not be possible as logging tools
have different depths of investigation. The same situation can occur when bedding
planes of high dip cross the borehole.
Depth-matching of overlap sections on subsequent logging runs should also be within 2 ft.

Page 21
2.2 Logging Speed
The maximum logging speed for a tool is determined by many factors, the most important of which
are tool design, desired repeatability, accuracy, formation characteristics and hole conditions. Each
tool, therefore, has its own maximum logging speed, for the ideal case. A recommended logging
speed is given for each tool, which is a maximum value in most cases. Slower speeds may be
necessary in unusual borehole conditions or because of formation characteristics. For safety reasons
it is not advisable to log faster than 15,000 ft/hr in open hole and 20,000t/hr in cased hole
If a tool is run in combination, the recommended logging speed is the lowest of the logging speed
values for the combined tools. Short duration variations within 10 percent of the recommended
logging speed are tolerated.

2.3 Tool Positioning

Some tools must be centralized, some need to be de-centralized, and others require a certain
standoff from the borehole wall. These different techniques can have profound effects on a log;
therefore, the tool sketch or Remarks section should be checked to confirm the location of these
items. Each log section in this book has information on which method is used for that particular
tool.

2.4 Response in Known Conditions

Whenever possible, the tool response should be compared to expected values:
a. Casing mud readings: sonic, caliper, MSFL, RFT. etc.

b. Field values: logs from nearby wells, field histograms and crossplots

c. Values in typical formations: salt, anhydrite, etc. (These typical values should be
observed within the repeatability tolerance).

2.5 Setting of Constants, Software Version, Sampling Rate

a. Most tools require that the engineer set certain Gallop software constants that have a
direct effect on the data. References to the important constants are made in the log
sections.
b. It should be verified that logging has been made with the current version of the
software.
c. Sampling rate and filtering options should be reported in the remark section unless the
selection is standard.

2.6 Presence of Standard Curves

a. All the standard curves requested by the client should be presented according to the
standard client presentation. The standard curves are listed in each log section.

Page 22
b. Weight indicator tension should be presented on all logs. If the TTM Auxiliary
Measurement Sonde is run, it is recommended to display tension at the too! head.

2.7 Re-logging of Anomalies

It is important that any log sections that are considered unusual should be repeated.
Anomalies are defined in the Data Quality/Environment section below. Anything that appears
anomalous on a log must be investigated to ascertain its origin.

2.8 Repeat Section

The following points should be checked when evaluating repeatability:
a. The repeat section is a minimum of 200 ft (65 m) long,
b. The repeat is logged over a section of good hole that shows log character, preferably
including the main zone of interest. The customer may have a preference about where
to select the repeat section.
c. When overlaying the main log, the repeat section repeats within the tolerances quoted
in the separate tool sections.
If this is the second log run, the repeat section is also made for confirmation of depth accuracy and,
if possible, measurement repeatability between runs. This section could be part of the main log
section.
Repeatability normally depends on the tool position in the borehole. For pad-type devices,
repeatability depends on tool orientation; for other tools, repeatability may be affected by hole size
or irregularities.

3. Data Quality/Environment

3.1 Operating Limits

The instrumentation used in logging tools is designed and built for a range of operating conditions.
The limitations of borehole temperature, size and fluid are given in each log section. When tools are
run outside their intended ranges, results may or may not be reliable, depending on such factors as
exposure time (for temperature), and combinations of borehole size, mud and formation properties.

3.2 Checks on Data

The confirmation that log data are correct is that the measurement is properly calibrated, that it
repeats within tolerances and that it corresponds to a known or expected response. If the last point is
not achieved, the cause must be determined and the log run again, if feasible.
To check the data quality, three possible questions should be answered;

Page 23
Are there any intervals with anomalous responses?
Are the data in these intervals usable?
Is there an interval where the quality of the data seriously impairs an interpretation of the reservoir
zone?
In many cases, corrections to log readings must be applied for borehole effects, shoulder-bed effects
and temperature before judgments of data quality can be made. References for the required
corrections are noted in the log sections of Part 2.
The three questions above can usually be answered by categorizing data quality characteristics into
five groups as described below:

A. Good quality log data

Data quality and operational problems should be evaluated separately. The quality of the data can be
evaluated as good even though there are minor operational problems. Good data means the log is
fully usable for interpretation.
Examples of minor operational problems might include:
The master calibration out of date, but still correct (confirmed afterwards).
Logging speed higher than recommended but not affecting data quality.
Additional passes required to overcome operational problems.

B. ANOMALOUS, but outside the zone of interest

An ANOMALOUS response is an interval of unusual log reading, apparently not representative of
the formation, which may be detected by:
Abnormal values compared to known/expected field values.
Incoherence on some interpretation charts (lithology plots, resistivity invasion charts, saturation
charts).
Drifts or shifts on some of the log curves.
Intermittent, dead or partly missing curve.
The zone of interest is generally the reservoir(s) in development and workover wells and all the
permeable or fractured intervals in exploration and appraisal wells. Of course, the zone of interest
may depend on the objective of running the log and should be confirmed by the customer.

C. SERIOUSLY ANOMALOUS response

The definition of SERIOUSLY ANOMALOUS is as in C above, but the anomaly is now located
within the zone of interest and some of it cannot be evaluated with confidence. However, the
damage is limited to small, discontinuous fractions of the zone of interest.

D. NOT USABLE
Missing or useless "standard curves" with no possibility of interpretation over most of the zone of

Page 24
interest,
Logs refused by the customer or not delivered to him.

3.3 Environmental Effects

Environmental effects are a consequence of conditions in the borehole or formation and are outside
the engineer's control, provided that proper operating procedures have been followed. Any
preventive or corrective action, if feasible, would be under the customer's control.
Environmental effects are classified in five categories:

Irregular tool motion

Possible origins:
- Sticky holes, caves, bridges, pipe-driven tools, etc.

Borehole/casing geometry
Possible origins:
(Open Hole) Hole shape, hole rugosity, threaded hole, mud-induced fractures, etc,
(Cased Hole) Casing/tubing not within specifications or in bad shape, poor cementation, multistring
casing/tubing, etc.

Hole/casing fluid
Possible origins:
- Mud type, barite, KCL, salinity, additives, gas-cut, unstable emulsion, etc.

Outside interference
Possible origins:
- External noises, nearby casing, debris, fish in hole, formation of unusual mineralogical
composition or texture, etc.

Tools used outside their specifications

Possible origins:
- Temperature, pressure, hole size, hole deviation, value of logged parameter, etc.
When data quality is affected by such environmental factors, details should be recorded in the Remarks section of
the log header and on the Log Quality Control worksheet.
