Downhole video cameras

Vision iO WellCAM® digital downhole camera

The Vision iO WellCAM® digital downhole camera solution can be run on all types of conveyances, up to 15,000 psi and 125°C/257°F, using only one camera string to visually log the whole well in one seamless high resolution image.

Combined with the unique WellViewer™ software, it is possible to pan and tilt 360° horizontally and 180° vertically, with complete side and downhole viewing on one platform.

Typical applications include: fishing operations; identifying casing damages, deformations, parted tubing, perforations; assessing the condition of gas lift valves, downhole safety valves and flappers; oil, gas and water entry detection; scale build-up; monitor milling progress.

DHV ViewMAX Lite™ camera

DHV ViewMAX Lite™ is a slim, high pressure, side and down view camera with superior lighting and temperature rating, and the ability to rotate the camera to any required orientation. The 111/16” outer diameter is ideal for small bore wells and utilises a dedicated LED light and a halogen backlight to give optimum illumination.

A motor assembly in the tool string can be started and stopped from surface to rotate the view for optimum 360 degree inspection capability.

The camera requires only a single conductor to send power to the tool and receive pictures at surface. It can also be run on fibre optic units for full motion video capture. Pictures are viewed and stored up hole at up to 30 frames per second without a sacrifice of resolution.

DHV high temperature camera

This highly portable camera system can be easily

transported by pickup truck or helicopter to reach even

the most remote locations. It can be deployed on

virtually any conventional single and multi-conductor

cable, and is capable of operating at up to 400°F

DHV memory camera

Expro’s memory camera has the capability of recording

up to 2,200 images with the ability to stop and start

recording at pre-programmed times. It is ideal for

viewing obstructions, restrictions, fish tops and casing

damage. Other applications include mechanical

inspections of wellbore hardware and monitoring

wellbore corrosion and erosion. This camera has

the ability to operate on slickline or coil tubing
