Two pneumatic movable arms are installed to provide a wider point of entry when in an open
Teledyne RD Instruments Updates Sentinel V ADCP
ADCP’s functionality was recently expanded to allow for real-time applications at data rates of up to 16 Hz. Now, two additional features have been added: an option for bottom-tracking for moving boat applications and a new utilities software to interface with TRDI’s existing VMDAS software program to simplify vessel mounted data applications. Teledyne RDI said the five-beam Sentinel V represents its next-gen family of ADCPs, building upon the success of TRDI’s Workhorse product line (nearly 13,000 Workhorse products have been delivered worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of

capability,” he said. Ocean Sonics makes various models of the icListen Smart Hydrophone for high frequency applications and low and very low noise applications. These models have a webserver feature and icListen Smart Hydrophone users can communicate with the hydrophones through a PC software program produced by Ocean Sonics called Lucy. The software lets users view and interact with data collected by icListen Smart Hydrophones and displays real-time waterfall and time-series data. Wood said the company also designs the smart hydrophones to work in certain water depths. &ldquo

cost. A key aspect of the tool is its flexible application to fit with a range of downhole operational conditions and objectives. During the deployment, TCP guns were fired using a pressure-activated firing system set to detonate with 2400psi applied annulus pressure. Using a bespoke in-house software program, the ExACT tool was set up at surface to fully function downhole with applied annulus pressure between 1100psi-1400psi, leaving the desired firing head safety margin of 1000psi. Post-job analysis of gauge data verified that ExACT was operating within 50psi of calculated values in all tool positions
