The assemblies consist of a gas gun and microphone. They are normally supplied in one unit.

The gun generates a pressure pulse which travels down the casing annulus gas or tubing gas and is reflected by cross-section area changes such as collars or nipples and the liquid level. The microphone converts these acoustic pressure pulses into an electrical signal.

When used with the computerized Well Analyzer, the electrical signal is processed, digitized and stored in the well's database.  This data is used to calculate liquid level depth and bottom hole pressure.

Alternatively, the Model M uses an amplifier-recorder which amplifies, filters and records the collar and liquid level signals on a paper strip chart using a thermal print head.

Our gas guns offer superior performance, greater safety and less operating expense than black powder guns.

An important note about black powder guns:
Back powder guns have caused explosions of wellbore gas when oxygen was allowed to enter the wellbore. Such an explosion occurred in 1996 that damaged the casing and also resulted in environmental damage. Further information is available by request.
