Industry innovators, REFLEX, have announced the launch of their new natural gamma logging game changer.
“In an environment where cost and productivity pressures dominate, the launch of the REFLEX EZ-GAMMA, which challenges process norms, is already eagerly anticipated by the market. Without the need for a trained technician on-site, the driller operable REFLEX EZ-GAMMA, an industry first for the company, offers significant time and cost savings.”
Resource companies, wincing from the historically high cost of obtaining natural gamma data, now have the opportunity to access gamma logging at minimal additional cost with the further benefit of real-time access to accurate logging data through the secure, cloud based, REFLEX HUB. “Multiple field trails recently completed with industry partners, from the Pilbara to the Goldfields, have proved the time efficiencies we’ve aimed for with the REFLEX EZ-GAMMA,” remarked Dave Lawie, Global Product Manager – Geosciences who has been intimately involved with the product since its inception. “Results have been available for the customer within minutes of completing the survey, rather than the two day norm. These efficiencies being very attractive to any resource company in the current climate.”
Where the cost of traditional gamma logging has been prohibitive for many geologists, there is now a real opportunity to gain valuable insights as to the characterisation of rock, in the routine course of drilling, with access to accurate information from the cost effective REFLEX EZ-GAMMA.
“Already well recognised for our innovation in surveying and core orientation, REFLEX has again taken advantage of our team of highly skilled technicians, electronics engineers and impressive depth of industry expertise to develop the industry specific, relevant and user friendly solution; the REFLEX EZ-GAMMA,” said REFLEX Chief Executive, Derek Loughlin. “We know, from a user’s perspective, what is required for easy use, we know what information is critical to the final decision maker and we have REFLEX HUB to get it to them, fast.”
From an intuitive user interface with inbuilt checks and quality control, to real-time feedback on-site, the REFLEX solution is very easy to use. Immediate access to the data log ensures that logging has been successfully completed and the data approved before the rods are pulled and the rig moves on. By removing the reliance on a specialist gamma logging technician together with their logging truck, the fit for purpose, REFLEX EZ-GAMMA offers significant efficiencies which translate to many dollars saved.
“With field trials coming to a successful close and the first instruments due for release to market in mid October,” said Loughlin, “we are excited about delivering another market leader to our clients. We look forward to delivering real productivity gains and value to our clients and assisting them to prosper in the current challenging environment.” Orders are already in place from a number of major players.
