SlimXtreme, rated to 260 degrees and 30,000 pounds per square inch, can log ultra-deep wells with small borehole diameters and is well suited for drillpipe conveyed logging in highly deviated and short radius wells or wells experiencing lost circulation, Schlumberger said.
SlimXtreme was used to acquire high-resolution data at a borehole pressure of 18,800psi on a field test well in south Texas with temperatures exceeding 254 degrees.
"The SlimXtreme platform is a technological breakthrough for formation evaluation in hostile environments as the quality of data it delivers matches that of the benchmark Platform Express wireline logging tool," Schlumberger Oilfield Services Wireline president Sami Iskander said.
"This service enables us to offer the same high-quality logging measurements in all types of wells, from the most benign to the most extreme downhole conditions."
