Well logging is the detailed recording of formations through boreholes. This involves bringing samples to the surface for direct observation, as well as physical measurements with instruments placed in boreholes. Well logging can be performed at different stages of the drilling project, including drilling, completion, production and abandonment. Well logging is used to drill for oil and gas, groundwater, mineral exploration and geothermal, as well as environmental and geotechnical research.
           The prominent feature of mud logging technology is real-time performance. Mud logging can establish formation profiles in time and accurately discover oil and gas layers during the process of drilling. This is the most direct and efficient way to solve geological problems on site.
          The Mud logging cabin is a complex portable laboratory, which adopts the working principle of the intelligent pressure container and uses the positive pressure difference to prevent the entry of any hazardous gases or substances that may be present in the borehole or surrounding area. The positive pressure ensures that there is a constant flow of fresh air into the cabin, which helps to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the workers and the instruments. This is especially important in drilling for oil and gas, where the presence of flammable and toxic gases can pose a significant risk to workers.
             In addition to providing a safe working environment, the MUD logging cabin also helps to maintain the integrity of the samples and measurements taken during the mud logging process. This is because the positive pressure helps to prevent contamination of the samples and prevents the instruments from being affected by the surrounding environment.
          Overall, the use of a MUD logging cabin is critical for ensuring the safety and accuracy of the mud logging process. It helps to provide a secure environment for the workers and the instruments and helps to ensure that the results of the mud logging process are accurate and reliable.

Land-based oil exploration and offshore platform oil exploration areas have the potential to produce explosive gases, and for areas where fires and explosions may occur are known as hazardous areas and are generally divided into three zones - Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2. Modern drilling and exploration sites require strict explosion-proof performance of the equipment on site, so TLS provides the perfect solution with positive pressure explosion-proof containers.
 
The principle of the positive pressure explosion-proof container is to achieve explosion-proof technical requirements through the container shell, so that all the regular non-explosion-proof machinery installed in the container achieve the purpose of explosion-proof.
 
The positive pressure ventilation system is the key to making the container explosion-proof. When the total power supply is turned on, firstly the system automatically turns on the explosion-proof blast system. The explosion-proof centrifugal fan extracts fresh air from 30 meters outside the danger zone into the positive pressure container. The air in the positive pressure container is purged and a positive pressure of more than 50pa is established. The total power supply is automatically turned on when the control conditions are met, then the power supply can be turned on to control the power supply and turn on other electrical equipment in the positive pressure container.
 
In the process of turning on or in the operation of the equipment in the container, if the explosion-proof control system monitors the presence of dangerous gases in the container or fails to reach the corresponding positive pressure, the alarm system will alarm and warn, and if the control conditions in the container are still not met within the specified time, or if the alarm limits are reached directly, the non-explosion-proof control system in the container will be closed automatically, so as to achieve the purpose of explosion-proof.

          Zone 1 and Zone 2 refer to dangerous areas where explosive environments may exist or may occur during normal operation. Personnel working in these areas are threatened with life safety, and equipment used in these areas must be ex-proof to ensure safe use in potential explosive environments. However, the cost of ex-proof electrical equipment is high, and common general electrical equipment cannot meet the ex-proof requirements, such as monitors, printers, etc.
        TLS can provide a positive pressure container, whose principle is to meet the ex-proof technical requirements by creating a positive pressure environment. The container is divided into a gas lock area and a main room. The gas lock area is set between the sealed outer door and the main room. There is an air inlet on one side of the container's corner, and an air outlet on the diagonal side of the inlet's corner. An ex-proof fan, a gas concentration detector, and an air flow detector are installed at the air inlet. And both the air inlet and outlet have wind valves and fire valves.
The advantages of the positive pressure containers,
  • It can provide a safe working environment for personnel and equipment in dangerous areas.
  • It can configure its own equipment in the container according to the client's own needs. Non ex-proof electrical equipment can be used in the container to reduce costs.
  • The interior area can be freely divided into various functional areas such as rest, office, and work areas.
