 Safety
• Fragile – Use plastic sleeve during handling , Rig Up Rig Down and transportation to stiffen the
flexible part of Sonic Tools

• SFT is under pressure during Calibration.

Schlumberger Private
• Always run filled with Oil – Use proper filling procedure – Avoid Spills and Ensure no air in Sonde

• Properly Secure the Tools during Transportation.

• Lifting strain, from heavy tools

• If in doubt, ASK

 DSLT - Maintenance
 FIT1 - Clean tool completely, remove mud from slots and bellows and around receiver / transmitter.
Do Not use screw drivers or metallic instruments. This may puncture the bellows.

 Sonde oil - B015518 CAPELLA B TEXACO WF32 is filled in horizontal position

with tool at 6Deg inclination.
 FIT2 : Electrical check as per MM

 MCAL: for Cased Hole - Each sonde is normalized every 3 months in

 MAST Maintenance Oil Piston

 FIT1 – Clean completely, remove mud from slots and bellows

and around receiver / transmitter
 Fill the oil in MASS, MAMS & MAXS (Silicon Oil 50 CST)
Do Not use screw drivers or metallic instruments.
 Ensure wear of rubber sleeve and check for oil leaks. Ensure
groves are aligned
 Always use dipole covers to secure them.

 What happened here?

Schlumberger Private
Excessive Bending of the Sonde during Rig
Up/Down and Transportation - Sleeves not
used and resulted in Broken Components –
Operator Responsibility

Pic 1 - Collapsed Sonde, due to low Oil

level – Operator Responsibility

WL-Training-GlobalTOPS_V1.1_Oct 2011
 Lessons Learnt / Tech Alerts / Best Practice
• (IT# 5311276): Bad tool handling / improper placement of transportation sleeve damaged the
receiver sleeves .

Schlumberger Private
• (IT # 3352158): Minimum torque applied to LCMEZ/CMEZ screws to avoid slipping is 15 ft-lb.

• (IT # 4533840): Most common oil pumps used contain J26. MAST uses Silicon Oil which
when mixed with J26 or other oils will Gel up. To avoid this, use a special coupling for MAST
tool oil filling adapter.
