Halliburton's newly-revealed PixStar High-Resolution Ultrasonic Imaging Service offers real-time insights into a borehole, allowing operators to spot fracture networks. The technology utilises ultrasonic transducers to generate high-resolution images to show hidden fracture networks or faults, meaning that operators can make drilling decisions to plan fracturing and increase production potential, optimising the whole process. " The high-resolution images identified a section with a large fracture, which corresponded to the loss zone, and multiple sections of borehole breakout. The new PixStar High resolution ultrasonics service is an important step in our efforts to provide more accurate information about oil and gas well flow," said Dr David Hughes, Head of Technology at Halliburton,
