Mudlogging Auto Calcimeter

AC 4 Auto Calcimeter Equipment

Auto Calcimeter AC 4

The Auto Calcimeter is a valuable tool used to obtain “high density” calcite equivalent measurements while drilling to distinguish between CaCO3 and non-calcite (primarily dolomite) content in cuttings. This is information is useful as a correlation tool as well as addressing completion scaling issues.

The AC 4 was designed and tested by Itasca GeoData to comply with ASTM D4373 − 21 and fully integrated with our RigFlex DAQ software.

  • 4 independent and simultaneous use reaction chambers

  • +/- 2% Calcite equivalent accuracy

  • .001g accuracy scale

  • Orbital Shaker

  • Lab equipment and PPE (Lab grade CaCO3, 10% v/v HCl, 100 mesh Seive, mortar/pestle, spare fittings, etc.)

  • High resolution 14-bit ADC DAQ box sending JSON data stream every second to the RigFlex DAQ system.

WITSML System Components

Our RIGFLEX™ software aggregates common rig site data-streams such as WITS 0 and Modbus then saves to the WITSML Store located in our secure data center and/or a local store. As the name suggests, the software is very flexible for managing the data and presents a clean work flow including zero rig site configuration when appropriate.

Note: The RigFlex Browser Dashboard is currently undergoing a design refresh.

Itasca GeoData manages a secure in-house data center capable of operational and analytical Big Data workloads on WITSML drilling stores.

The RIGFLEX™ Data Store handles storage and access to data in the Industry standard WITSML format. It is also responsible for verifying the secure user identity and asset authorization providing fine grained control over what user has access certain assets, wells, logs, etc.

Note:This product uses open source WITSML technology developed by PDS
