In September 2024, our company, together with LOGSERVIS LLC, performed geophysical surveys using standard and extended complexes in one trip on a drilling tool with parallel descent of a geophysical cable in an exploratory well of one of the subsoil users of the Komi Republic. The surveys were conducted using the KarSar SKaT system, which implements the "wet contact" technology, which allows for equipment setup and data transmission to the surface in real time. When using KarSar SKaT, the instrument assembly is powered from the earth's surface via cable, which allows for monitoring the data recording process. The implementation of standard and special GIS complexes in one trip allowed for a significant reduction in well maintenance time and saved the Customer's money. The special survey complex included such geophysical methods as: gamma ray spectrometric logging, nuclear magnetic logging and an electric microscanner. Nuclear magnetic logging allowed: - to estimate the parameters of the reservoir properties (Kp, Kpr) independent of the lithology and composition of the matrix; - to determine the presence of hydrocarbons in low-resistivity low-contrast sediments; - to estimate the parameters of Kov, Kon for effective planning of development of fields; - to select the optimal scheme of testing and completion of the well. The electric microscanner allowed: - to make accurate photorealistic images of the walls of the drilled well with possibilities for petrophysical interpretation close to the core evaluation (plus the ability to orient the unoriented core); - to make a detailed geological and sedimentological interpretation inaccessible without using this method; - to make a quantitative assessment of secondary (fracture and cavernous) porosity - mapping of potential inflow zones of complex reservoirs (with an assessment of the openness) and faults.
- September, 2023 Work was carried out on hydromechanical perforation in the production string using a PGM-168 perforator. As a result, special holes were created in the 168 mm column, without penetration into the 245 mm column.
- May, 2022Successfully started work on formation testing of wells on pipes (DST) in the area of the city of Udachny, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) under the leadership of Andrey Nikolaevich Irbakhtin.
- May, 2022Successfully started work on thermal research in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The annual XXV Science-Practical Conference "Modernization of The Russian Geophysical Complex" has been held in Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan,
under the aegis of the Geophysical cluster "Kvant" and MOO EAGO.
Participant: Irbakhtin Al. N. - February, 2021 The annual XXV Science-Practical Conference "Modernization of The Russian Geophysical Complex" has been held in GK "Kandry-Kul" under the aegis of the Geophysical cluster "Kvant" and MOO EAGO. "Alend" Ltd has presented the report "The Adjacent Formation Testing", that means execution of hydrodynamic researches of two adjacent intervals (objects) in an open wellbore for a single running-in of a set with selection of gas samples. (See: Смежное пластоиспытание пластов (In Russian only. File format - .pdf))
- December, 2020 Well tests in the process of drilling with the use of testing equipment running-in on tubes have been carried out in the Irkuts region. The innovation of these operations are in the use of anchor equipment (without support on a bottom-hole), and in testing of two independent objects for a single run of a unit, as well as in gas sampling. The gas inflow from the low object, and very aerated brine water from the upper object have been received.
- December, 2019 Operations on field-geophysical researches have been started in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
- September, 2019 Works in the well № 28 have been successfully carried out on hydrodynamic survey of a gas-bearing layer in an open well-bore with the use of the ZPKM 2М-127 set, with brief moving of the gas inflow to the daytime surface and registration of the pressure build-up curve. The gas flow rate has been determined by two methods. The 1-st method - analytical, based on calculation of overflow fluid volume with account of empty space volume in drilling tubes and recalculated to surface conditions. The 2-nd method - based on approximate calculation of the gas flow rate after shutting the well in the first moment of time (on the pressure build-up curve) according to recommendations of GASPROM 086-2010 (Instruction on complex surveys of gas and gas-condensate wells). In the results of calculations comparable values of the gas flow rate have been achieved with account of which filtration-volume capacities of the layer have been determined.
- May, 2019 Formation surveys on the well № 41 in an open well-bore have been carried out with the help of the combined set ZPKM 2М-127 and IG-127 in the interval of 5100-5180 metres. Self overflow of fill-up fluid from annular space to a measuring container have been received, as well as after the set lifting the methan has been extracted from a sampler (inspite of the lack of gas flow to the daytime surface). Calculation of the gas flow rate has been done by analythical method with account of phisical-and-chemical gas properties and volume of extracted fluid to the surface. This method of gas flow rate calculation is reflected in works of Ryazantsev N.F (“Testing of Wells in the Process of Drilling”, 1982) and Yasashin A.M. (“Exposure, Sampling, and Testing of Formations”, 1979).
- March-April, 2019 Formation testings have been successfully conducted in the open well-bore №21 of the Artobay-Sartobe oil field (Republic of Kazakhstan). The record temperature has been fixed for all formation testings on tubing which had been carried out earlier – 155 Centigrade. The formation testing of the well-bore №42 of the Chinarevski oil-and-gas field (bottom-hole 5,106 m), with the help of the kit ZPKM-127, the hydraulic valve IPM-127, and the reduction valve KR-127 used for sampling of hermetic sample, has been conducted. In spite of actual absence of gas inflow, samples have been obtained from the sealed sampler located between the ZPKM-127 and the IPM-127. The site was considered to be promising. (See: Sampling at Formation Testing in an Open Bottom-Hole. Photos 1-4.).
- February, 2018 Recording of an inflow profile in the horizontal well 1HW has been carried out. The technology of works with autonomous tools lowering on rods has been developed.
- November, 2017 A successful transaction on acquiring of the industrial base located in Usinsk has been conducted, as well as a warhouse, geophysical hoists, sets of geophysical instruments for operations in enclosed well bores (including a modern set MAGIS), etc.
- September-October, 2016 Formation tests were succesfully conducted at the 201 Punginskaya gas well. During these tests the downhole samplers were used which provided sampling of hermetical gas probes in formation conditions. The probes were sent to analysis into a chemical laboratory. The works were carried out by R. R. Mavletov and An. N. Irbakhtin.
- April, 2016 Geophysical tests were conducted in an open borehole. That was a start of a new complex trend in conducting of borehole geophysics.
- October, 2015 Comprehensive tests of the exploratory Well 21P Nertsetinskaya have been successfully carried out. With the use of a formation tester of the 45mm inside diameter, the closing of the well on the borehole has been done, after which it has been brought to a flowing mode. Deep samples of fluids have been taken out. (See: Description of Methods of Works and Main Results (in Russian. Files in .pdf)).
- September, 2015 A Partner Agreement has been concluded in the area of field-geophysical and other surveys in the Pacific region of Asia with the Alend Well Services LTD. Address: Office 32, 19-21 Crawford Street, London W1H 1PJ, United Kingdom. info@alendwells.com (See: Company Prospect (Files in .pdf)).
- February, 2015 A new method of surveys has been successfuly introduced at the Chetdyisky oilfield in Komi Republic. The field works have been carried out by guidance of Andrey Nikolayevich Irbakhtin. (See: 'Alend' Ltd Presentation. (in Russian. Files in .ppt)).
- February, 2015 Works on geothermal surveys (thermodynamic surveys of wells) have been successfully launched on a Boka de Haruko field in Republic of Cuba. The works have been implemented by guidance of Irbakhtin Nikolay Vasilievich.
