Gamma Probes
The Geovista digital Natural Gamma Ray Sonde can be used on its own or in
combination with other Geovista sondes for correlation purposes.
The spectral gamma version can operate in both spectral and in 5 window mode. The
GM version uses a set of two Geiger-Muller detectors to cater for the high count rates in
uranium ore. The shielded version allows the user to filter out low energy gamma rays in
high grade uranium. This allows for a more linear operation in high gamma count envi-
ronments. The sonde also provides for automatic dead time measurement and
correction. A High resolution LaBr Spectral Gamma probe is also available.

Digital Downhole Geophone System

The Geovista Digital Borehole Geophone system includes a down the hole digital sonde
and a compact digital interface unit at the surface. There is no requirement for a seismo-
graph. The sonde runs on single conductor cable on a standard logging winch. It includes a motor-
ised clamping arm and three SM24 geophones arranged in an X-Y-Z pattern. The motorised clamping arm
allows for work in a range of borehole diameters, by ensuring adequate coupling for the seismic signal.
The geophones are non-gimbaled, 3 axis devices, allowing for seismic energy to be measured in X and Y
horizontal axis and in the vertical Z axis.
The digital interface unit at the surface has inputs for the down the hole sonde, three surface
geophones and the trigger. Collected data is output to a PC via the USB port. The acquisition software
allows for data viewing and stacking. The generated SEG2 files can then be imported into most commer-
cial seismic processing software.

DPS - Downhole P&S Sonde

The Geovista DPS P&S sonde logs P & S wave velocities within the borehole environment. It comes with
one transmitter and two receiver modules. The energy source of the transmitter operates as a dipole
source. Each receiver contains two transducers, one for the detection of the compression waves (P) and
the other for the detection of the shear waves (S). Each transducer responds to different frequencies.
The sonde is stopped at selected depths where acoustic data is acquired in different modes that allow
the determination of these P and S velocities. This is done without the need for clamping and this meth-
od gives better accuracy and resolution than other seismic methods. In situations where the P & S veloc-
ities are close together, the transmitter to receiver spacing can be increased to provide the time segrega-
tion.
The performance of the system is engineered to give good results in the slower
formations encountered at shallow depths while also performing well in deeper
formations with higher velocities. The data acquired by the system is recorded
in the industry standard SEG2 file format, allowing many commercially available
packages to read the data. GeoVista also provides a software interpretation
package to determine the P & S velocities.
The main application for this sonde is in ground engineering site investigation
work.

Formation Sidewall Density Sonde
This combinable sonde is suitable for quantitative formation density measurements in uncased
holes. It uses a bottom loading gamma ray source (Typically 100 mCi activity) and a set of two
or optionally three detectors at different spacing to detect the gamma rays scattered by the
formation. The amount of scattered gamma rays is a function of the electron density of the
formation material and hence, a function of its bulk density. This relationship is used to calibrate
the density sonde and then use it to log the bulk density of the formations crossed by the
borehole. In order to optimise performance, the sonde is designed with three main features:
1. A side-walling calliper to ensure that the detector measures only the radiation scattered by
the formation.
2. A detector mandrel diameter that is large enough to minimise the sonde and borehole
curvature mismatch and improve sonde to formation contact to minimise the effect of the
borehole fluid.
3. An efficient detector shield to prevent gamma rays from travelling up, inside the sonde body.

Compensated Neutron Sonde
This combinable sonde provides quantitative formation porosity measurements in
uncased holes, based on Hydrogen Index. The sonde uses a bottom loading neutron source
and a set of two detectors at different spacing to detect the neutrons that are slowed down
by hydrogen in the formation. As the sonde is sensitive to hydrogen, it is used to distinguish
between fluid bearing formations and solid matrix rock.
In order to optimise performance, the sonde is designed with three main features:
1. A side-walling bow spring to ensure that the detector measures only the neutrons slowed
by the formation.
2. A detector mandrel diameter that is large enough to minimise the sonde and borehole
curvature mismatch and improve sonde to formation contact to minimise the effect of the
borehole fluid.

Reduced Diameter Neutron and Density Tools

A reduced diameter version of the neutron and density sondes (bottom loading) is also available.
These sondes offer the advantage of a 38 mm diameter, making them suitable for reduced diam-
eter boreholes. They also require smaller sources. However, they are only suitable for qualitative
porosity or density measurements because they do not lend themselves to easy or effective cali-
bration.

Geovista have a large range of accessories to ensure you are ready

for you logging operations.
Some items we provide include:

Sinker Bar:
A helpful accessory when your sondes are too light. For the borehole
conditions. Weight: 9.7kg, Length; 112cm, Diam: 38mm

Centralisers & Standoffs

A range are available including in-line centralisers and standoffs.

Tripod with sheave wheel

The logging tripod and sheave wheel is the efficient choice for logging
boreholes that do not have a rig in place. It is an essential way to the
logging cable safely into the borehole.

Rig up sheave wheels

Rig up sheave wheels are useful
when there is a rig in place. They
allow for the safe feeding of the
cable and tools into a borehole into
the borehole.

Fishing tool
The Side Door Overshot is a fishing
tool that is used to retrieve sondes that
are stuck in a borehole. The advantage of this method is that it does
not require the wireline to be cut. This tool is attached to drill pipe and
lowered downhole. It follows the wireline cable, all the way to the ca-
ble head, or the cable head crossover. The grapple is designed to
catch 28mm.
The assembly consists of the following :
• Grapple half-shells
• A body with a side door slit for the cable
• A 2 3/8” EUE Box Crossover to connect to the fishing string.

Push rod adapter

If you want to log Geovista tools at a higher deviation, you can use a
push rod adapter. This adapter can be connected to your logging head
and allows you to connect your rods to the tool so that you can push
the tool stack down your borehole.

Cable Line Wiper

To clean your cable from fluid and debris as you pull out your logging string,
we can supply as an option an effective and simple cable line wiper. We sup-
ply two options: cable type or air pressure type.

Gamma Ray Verification Blanket

Useful jig to verify and check gamma
probe readings.
We also supply such items as: Tool Boxes, Test leads, Carry Cases, Generators, Field
laptops, Printers, calibration blocks, crossovers, adapters, cable heads etc...
