 In early
1989, Selman & Associates, Ltd. initiated an on going research and
development effort to improve Surface Data Integrity by using computer
technology to capture and categorize Surface Logging Data while drilling.
The latest achievement from this ongoing research is our Surface Logging
Information Collector (SLIC-7™). The method by which we operate our
instrument and process to create surface logs was patented by us in 1993.
The SLIC-7™ system is standard equipment on every well we log. The
SLIC-7™ is truly a computer driven instrument driven by software
developed for surface loggers and wellsite geologists by logging
geologists.
For years, the software driving the SLIC-7™ has been the XR4 Logging System.
This gem was truly ahead of its time in terms of functionality and
reliability. For the first time, mud loggers could create and edit mud
logs using a computer. Before this breakthrough, the only alternative
(and the standard acceptable logging method) was to carefully and tediously
hand draft your mud log.
Today, after many years of careful research and development, our newest
standard for mud logging data acquisition is called AcquireIt™.
This program (which is described on another tab) works with next-generation
SLIC-7™ instruments, and it has many new benefits that we can take advantage of
in addition to the already proven XR4 system including automatic flow and pressure
control, automatic WITSend™ streaming, easier calibrations, more accurate
measurements, and the ability to use more than one kind of instrument.
