Acoustic Fluid Logger and Pressure Pulse Gas Gun

Fluid Level Procedure
1. Mount the Pressure Pulse Gun to the wellhead, turning by hand at first. Finish tightening by
inserting the spanner wrench provided into the notches in the gun and tightening the gun firmly to the
wellhead. Use of Teflon tape on the gas gun threads will help achieve a better seal.
2. First, open the backside casing valve, shown below left. This will allow the compressed gas
shot to travel down the wellbore to find the fluid. Next, close the casing flow line valve, shown below
right. This prevents the compressed gas shot from going down the flow line instead of the wellbore.
3. Push the gun’s shuttle valve into the load position by sliding the shuttle firmly toward “Load.”
