Seeing is believing - RGeo-eye® is the world first high-speed wireline borehole camera system. A slimline full colour downward view camera, operating to 3000m (10,000ft) on a 4-core or coaxial cable at high transmission rate and fully compatible with existing Robertson Geo winches and surface systems.
RGeo-eye® employs a downward facing window with a fish-eye lens fully corrected for lens distortion before data is compressed and sent uphole. An LED light source, with controllable brightness is integral to the probe.
The RGeo-eye® camera system is a new introduction of a design and build development by Robertson Geo. It has a deep operating range for the acquisition of high quality video feed for deep subsurface applications.
The camera operates on industry-standard 4-core or coaxial wireline cable, and offers pressure ratings to 5000 psi and a 90°C temperature rating.
Open hole.
Cased hole.
The system incorporates RGeo-fast® delivering 1 Megabit/sec communication speed enabling the acquisition of high resolution video feed from downhole (to 3,000m) in air or water filled open or cased boreholes while allowing real-time viewing for the surface operative.
The RGeo-eye® is a robust, easy to deploy downhole camera at 1.08m (or 1.91m with sinker bar) x 43mm and only 5kg.
The camera has auto focus, a frontal six LED internal array with adjustable lighting intensity, and a user selectable resolution of SVGA (800 x 600) or (600 x 600), at up to 30 frames/sec.
The standard RGeo-eye® camera is rated at 90°C at 5,000 psi (3,000m), and is offered in three versions – 1,000m, 2,000m and 3,000m.
The acquisition software package provided with the RGeo-eye® camera system allows extensive operator control including video resolution, frame rate, shutter speed, lighting brightness, white balance, UXGA ‘snapshot’ mode and real time video annotations.
Four user definable presets allow the operator to store optimal settings for various borehole conditions. Video is recorded in AVI and converted to MP4 for storage and relay.
It allows screen shots to be captured and text editing while viewing/recording. Where more detail is required, full colour ‘snapshot’ images can also be captured at 1600 x 1200.
The RGeo-eye® camera comes with acquisition software that's easy to configure and work with, offering resolution control; lighting control; depth recording; text editing; recording video; screenshots; RGeo-eye® specification and depth & temperature warnings; Power meter and High res. frame capture mode with zoom-in function.
