aking advantage of the TeleScope* high-speed telemetrywhile-drilling service, the sonicVISION* sonic-while-drilling
tool delivers full slowness time (ST) projections to surface. This
technology offers you real-time compressional (DTc) and shear
(DTs) measurements with a full slowness projection log delivered
while drilling at the rig site or to remote offices through an interface with
the InterACT* connectivity, collaboration, and information system.
The sonicVISION tool improves real-time measurements with
wideband receivers

LARGE-HOLE RESPONSE
Extended battery life, large memory capacity, and fast dump speed
significantly enhance the sonicVISION tools reliability and functionality.
Standard memory life is 12 days at 180 ft/h (10-s acquisition). In addition,
standardized planning software allows the engineer to easily optimize
the tool configuration for the well being drilled.
The sonicVISION tool is available in 634-, 814-, and 9-in collar sizes. It
has been run successfully in hole sizes up to 30 in, using model-based
processing when compressional wave is slow (leaky-P).
