Borehole Optical Televiewer Probe
click above for datasheet (pdf)
The OPTV probe provides a continuous, detailed and orientated 360º image of the borehole walls using a unique optical imaging system. This can be rapidly interpreted to obtain a complete feature analysis that includes dip, strike, frequency and fracture aperture. One popular visual data display option is the projection of features onto an imaginary core that can be rotated and viewed from any orientation. In fact, an OPTV survey can often replace expensive coring with its associated problems of incomplete core recovery and offers much greater flexibility and convenience for data interpretation than a conventional borehole television survey.
RG-DIP interpretation software is available for detailed analysis of the displayed features and includes conventional arrow (tadpole) plots, stereograms of feature orientations and synthetic core images.
