My name is David Norman and I am a 29 year employee with Dresser
through the Baker Hughes merger when I was laid off,  then rehired as
a consultant.  I worked in the Houston Radiation Safety Department
for my entire time.  I started my own radiation safety company, NORM-
Rad Services, to help the independents and small operators in the
North Texas area.  I currently teach all of the radiation safety
classes for the Baker Atlas wireline group at both the Odessa and
Grand Prairie Training Centers.

Welcome to the group Jim.  It is one day old and growing.  I work on some

Hello gentlemen.  My name is Carl and I just joined up after seeing it
advertised in sci.geo.petroleum.  Here's a little bit about myself and
what I'm doing now-

I have been involved in mining and/or exploration for close to 16 years
now.  Yes, still quite young (33), but I first started my company when I
was 17.  It wasn't anything "serious", but I've kept it going in some
fashion.  I started off placer mining as a kid, and still do it every
chance I can get.  I have worked both surface mines (placer deposits for
gold & associated metals), underground mines (copper, uranium/vanadium &
gold/silver), as well as in a uranium mill, I have worked on a drilling
rig and I also spent two years working as a roustabout/pumper in the
natural gas industry.  Right now it's pretty much mothballed as I finish
up a college paper.  I am slowly working towards a degree in geology,
and then I'll decide which direction to go.

Wireline has been a mystery to me, so I figured I'd join this bunch
after I saw the ad.  Gotta learn about it somewhere!

Art,

  that is interesting, you are in a business I actually considered before choosing the one I went into.  I am happy to hear it is working out for you!  How deep of a well can you work in?  Do you make your own equipment?  As far as the size of the companies are concerned, I am MUCH bigger than you, I have myself and one other person working full time!

Hello from Florida,

My name is Art Benson, I have a small (myself) geophysical wireline
business providing geophysical logging and video service to the
drilling/well owner market.  After too many years (+20) in the consulting
business, I started out on my own in late 1997. I should have done it 20
years ago.

Welcome to the group Ray.  I hope there will be lots of shop talk.  You are
a great asset to this group with your vast experience, especially in the
area of neutron generator technology.  BTW, I am going to come down there
and lock you in a room until you write that webpage for me on neutron

Welcome to the group Art.  I am in a machining group that is a wonderful

Hello from Florida,

My name is Art Benson, I have a small (myself) geophysical wireline
business providing geophysical logging and video service to the
drilling/well owner market.  After too many years (+20) in the consulting
business, I started out on my own in late 1997. I should have done it 20

Glad you joined the group Brandon.  That ECS log is a bit exotic for me, but
Ray Ethridge, who just joined the group,  probably knows a lot about the
technology.  My old oil production partner is working in the Shrewsberry
field, which I believe is Devonian shale gas.  That field has a colorful
history, including the murder of one of the original partners on the court
house steps in Leitchfield.  Doncha just love the oil biz?

Please tell any of your associates who might be interested in this forum
that they are more than welcome to join us.

drilling/well owner market.  After too many years (+20) in the consulting
business, I started out on my own in late 1997. I should have done it 20

My interests are centered around keeping my business alive while
continuing to enjoy what I am doing.  So far so good.

I will enjoy discussing the many aspects of doing what I do with others
out there.  I have no, zero, experience in the oil/gas business, so my
company is not modeled after anything else, but reflects my own ideas of
how things should be done. I am sure there are some better ideas than
mine I would enjoy hearing.

Other than traditional business challenges, I am interested in ideas and
methods to keep the equipment working, to update the services to keep up
with the market and perhaps coordinate some marketing efforts.

I appreciate Syd opening this board, it certainly is something we can all
use.

   I have been an Electronics Technician for over 40 years, and am in
the process of trying to get a qualified CEO (previous experience as
CEO and PetEng) to get funding for our startup.
   I am interested in knowing your electronic background, especially as
related in your present field of work.

Elemental Capture Spectroscopy happens to be one of my areas of
interest as well.  I think you are looking for a relationship between
the elements in the formations rather than looking at the CO2 itself,
is that correct?  Are you proposing to perform this in conjunction
with a conventional alpha-berylium neutron source, or are you looking
at a neutron generator based technique?  Are you wanting to do this
insitu?  If you are looking at the neutron generator type tools are
you expecting to use a D-T generator or would a D-D generator be of
more interest?  What type of detector are you planning on using?  I
am assuming you are talking about generating a continuous log, do you
have a feel for your anticipated logging speed?  The Inelastic
capture tools I am familiar with are notoriously slow to log.  How
deep are these boreholes, and what are the environmental conditions?
(e.g. dry, filled with water, cased, etc.).  Lots of questions!

Hello to a very promising group:

   Allow me to introduce myself.
   I am Ray Ethridge and I would have to classify myself as a cased-
hole logging tool designer/developer.  I have worked in the industry
since 1973 developing various tools and components for well logging.
I have joked many times about having worked for everyone except
Schlumberger and the only reason I haven't worked for them is because
in their words "I was tainted" by my previous experience at another
wireline company!
   My particular field of expertise is neutron generator based tools
and neutron generators.  The tools I have worked on include not only
the capture type tools but also the inelastic spectroscopy (C/O)
tools.
   I have "retired" from the wireline service companies and currently
own a company that is producing neutron generators for sale to the
industry.  We also do contract development for wireline tools.
   I have at least seen examples of many the tools that are used in
cased hole logging and have a passing acquaintance with a few of the
open hole tools that are used.
   Beyond the development lab I have run more than a few logs as part
of field testing operations, but have never been "ordained" as a
field engineer.  Possibly as a result of never "having" to do it I
have enjoyed my time in a logging truck.
   I enjoy talking shop, so let's have some discussions!

To list members:

I am a geologist with the Kentucky Geological Survey, a research and
public service institute of the University of Kentucky. My specific
interests are oil and gas resources, reservoir analysis, GPS and
field methods, GIS, and well information database issues. My current
research involves aspects of Carbon Sequestration. The MIDCARB
project (www.midcarb.org) is a multistate effort that is developing
an ArcIMS interface to carbon emissions source information and
assessing potential geologic sequestration sites. I am also
evaluating the Devonian black shale of Kentucky as a carbon
sequestration reservoir with the benefit of possible enhanced natural
gas production. We are obtaining data for the carbon dioxide
adsorption capacity of the shale.

In connection with logging in the Devonian black shale assessment
project, we have proposed to run elemental capture spectroscopy (ECS)
logs to see if there is anything that can be correlated to the carbon
dioxide adsorption capacity of the shale.

Greetings:

This mailing list is for sharing information about well logging and wireline
technology.  Anything can be discussed here except logging / wireline
service prices (antitrust concerns).  It is hoped this mailing list will
evolve into a problem solving forum, especially for logging engineers and
service technicians.
