Drilling & Production
Description
The Platinum Resistance Thermometer tool is small and compact. The tool plays a critical role in PL interpretation and
is an integral piece of equipment in any production logging string.
The PRT measures downhole temperature by measuring the resistance of a platinum resistance element. The probe is
contained in a pressure tight Inconel® needle, protruding into an open slot through which borehole fluid can flow. The
measurements from the low mass probe result in high resolution data with fast temperature response.
Features
• Leak detection
• Location of production and injection zones
• Cement top identification
• Location of fluid movement behind pipe
• Fast response
• Simultaneous operation with other Sondex Ultrawire* tools
