Badley’s TrapTester 5.3 is due for release in the second quarter of 2005 and will include a new ‘EarthGrid’ infrastructure for import, display, analysis and export of grids, properties and structure. EarthGrid will allow TrapTester to interact with the spatial volume attributes from modeling packages. Version 5.3 will support user-defined attributes derived from native TrapTester values. Badleys is to roll-out an OpenSpirit client alo,g with the new release to simplify data transfer with third party applications. New direct links to Midland Valley’s 3DMove and DFN modeling tools are coming as is a workflow that supports the export of fracture mode, orientation and density information from FaultED to the Beicip-Franlab’s Fraca model.

AnTech has released a downhole Vibration Analysis Board (VAB) to measures bit tool vibrations while drilling. The VAB offers drilling engineers the real-time, in-situ measurements of three vibration components and torsional vibration. The system helps drillers assess risk in real time and take remedial action—avoiding damage to the bit. Data is relayed to the surface via the CAN bus communication interface. More from antech.co.uk.
