- Terabytes of High-Resolution Spatial Data
- 2036849537+
- Acoustic Images Captured
The HADES™ platform combines DarkVision’s unique high-resolution acoustic imaging technology with advanced robotics to deliver unparalleled downhole imaging capabilities.
Accurate 3D Measurements. Precise Results.
0.01” Resolution
Our tools deliver higher resolution so you can clearly identify issues and determine the root causes of failure.
Up to 512 individual transducers
We capture full circumferential scans using proprietary imaging modes only enabled by high-density arrays.
High-fidelity 3D visualizations
Say goodbye to subjective interpretations. Our system gives unmatched clarity with high-fidelity, intuitive 3D visualizations.
Field-proven and trusted
Our award-winning technology has been proven in the field by over 75 operators across all N.A. conventional and unconventional basins.
Direct measurements
We directly capture dimensionally accurate 3D data, removing the requirement for subjective interpretations.
Fluid agnostic
Our acoustic imaging system is fluid agnostic, enabling it to scan through water, brine, drilling mud, and production fluids. No more data loss due to cloudy or unclear fluids.
Field-proven and trusted by 130+ operators
Well Integrity Evaluation
Ensure safe well operation, improve burst pressure accuracy, and determine failure root causes with unprecedented levels of thickness and deformation data. We deliver complete circumferential imaging of tubing, casing, and connections to eliminate blind spots of legacy technologies like calipers and cameras.
Perforation Erosion Analysis
Maximize production rates, improve operational efficiency, and identify plug damage with the most comprehensive perforation erosion analysis offering available on the market. We capture dimensionally accurate 3D measurements of each perforation and provide you with machine-learning-powered growth analytics. Oh, and you don’t need to swap fluid.
Complex Component Inspection
Acquire unprecedented submillimetric data to help you diagnose complex surface and downhole component failures. Whether it’s a wellhead, subsurface safety valve, liner hanger, or ICD – we will find damage, deformation, ovality, and leak paths like no one else.
Obstructions and Restrictions
Gain unrivaled downward-facing 3D images of obstructions and restrictions in real-time to minimize unscheduled downtime. We remove ambiguity by providing a digital twin of whatever is impeding your well. And we do so all in real-time at the wellhead.
