Microhole technology progress on borehole instrumentation development.

DE2001768773

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Albright, J.
Page Count	8
Abstract	Microhole technology development is based on the premise that with advances in electronics and sensors, large conventional-diameter wells are no longer necessary for obtaining subsurface information. Furthermore, microholes offer an environment for improved substance measurement. The combination of deep microholes having diameters of 1-3/8 in. at their terminal depth and 7/8-in. diameter logging tools will comprise a very low cost alternative to currently available technology for deep subsurface characterization and monitoring.
Keywords	Boreholes Well logging equipment Mwd systems Site characterization Microelectronics

NTIS Subject Category	48A - Mineral Industries
Corporate Authors	Los Alamos National Lab., NM.; Department of Energy, Washington, DC.
