Bureau Of Mines
Announces Two
lew Instruments

Washington - An oil-well bore
caliper that can be passed through
two-inch tubing, then opened like
an umbrella to measure bore holes
up to SO inches in diameter, is one
of two instruments developed at
the Bureau Of Mines Petroleum Ex-
pertinent Station in Bartlesville,
Okla, Secretary of the Interior
Douglas Mckay announced.
The other instrument is a new
type of liquid-level gage, also op-
cradle through two-inch tubing,
which can be used to determine d.
rectly and accurately the height of
a static column of liquid in a we'll
or to follow a moving liquid level
accurately to within one-half inch.
The instruments, which resulted
from work done at Bartlesville un-
der a cooperative agreement with
the State of Oklahoma, have been
tested successfully in cooperation
with several oil companies.
Both instruments were designed
principally for use in secondary
recovery operations, where water

Develop New Type
Of Geiger Counter
For Uranium Work

NEW YORK,-The Radiac Com
pany, Inc, New York, announces
the availability of the "Tattler,"
a new type of Geiger Counter for
Uranium prospecting.
In line with the latest ultra-scien-
tific trend in radiation detector
design, the Tattler features self
contained transistor amplified
loudspeaker. This loudspeaker,
which can be regulated for pitch,
enables the user to dispense with
earphones.
Additional features of the TAFT
Ter include a removable base plate
allowing easy accessibility for Gel
ger tube replacement, and an I'M
proved regulated high voltage sup
ply which maintains efficient op-
Grafton throughout battery life.
The Geiger tube can be replaced by
either a single tube or an Access
sorry cluster of six supersensitive
bismuth Geiger tubes. Provision
is made for plugging in hand
probe, or a deep-hole probe for
drill hole investigation.
The Tattler has four ranges of
sensitivity, appropriately calibrat-
ed for uranium prospecting in
counts per minute. These four
ranges, including very sensitive
background" range, provide a
broad intensity span-from low
background to extremely hot
intensity. The case is of scratch
resistant anodized aluminium. A
convenient carrying handle allows
the 3 Id. instrument to be trans
ported with ease.
The light weight, sensitive TAFT
Ter was specifically designed for
prospecting on foot and for deep
drill-hole reconnaissance.

OffshOre Acquires
Drilling Division
Of Southern Prod.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 8

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. :
Purchase of the Contract Drill.
ing Division of Southern Produc.
ton Company of Fort Worth By
The Offshore Company of Bator
Rouge, La, subsidiary of South
ern Production, for approximate,
$8,OOO,000 was announced here to-
day by Roy c. Williamson, presi.
| dent of Southern Production Com
pany, and T. S. Stoneman, presi.
dent of The Offshore Company.
The sale involved ID drilling rigs
nine of which are barge mounted
related auxiliary equipment, ware.
house stocks, transportation equip.
ment and all of Southern Produc.
tons drilling contracts now ir
progress. Also involved is the
transfer of 275 employees from the
Southern to The Offshore Com
pany's payrolls.
Offshore also acquired the
Southern Production offices at 1863
Lafayette Street in Baton Rouge
Stoneman declared that the drill
ing rigs acquired from Southern
Production will continue to OPP
crate as before, and will expand
Offshore's operations on land, in
the inland waterways and in the
tidelands.
Twelve of the drilling rigs are
power-driven and two are steam
driven.
The Offshore Company holds
the exclusive rights to use the
very successful belong patents
covering pneumatic lacking mocha
nisms employed in operation of
portable deep-water drilling barges
in the tidelands off the Gulf Coast
of the United States.
The Offshore Company, which
was organized in the summer of
1854 for the primary purpose of
owning and operating portable
drilling barges in the
Gulf Coast tidelands, owns one
portable drilling barge
now operating off the Louisiana
coast under contract to Humble
Oil & Refining Company. This
barge is capable of drilling in
waters up to so feet deep.
A second portable barge capable
of operating in water up to a depth
of 100 feet is now being built for
The Offshore Company in Orange,
Texas, and is due to be commits
stoned early next month.
A third portable barge which will
be able to operate in water up to
a depth of as feet is under con-
struction for The Offshore Com
pany in New Orleans and is ex-
pected to be ready in June.
Southern Production Company
entered the contract drilling bust
ness in 1850 when it purchased
the assets of the Danciger Oil &
Refining Company of Fort Worth,
which included Is drilling rigs.

or gas is pumped underground to
force oil to producing wells. They
also can be used in primary oil
production, and should find applica-
tions in other fields. The bore
caliper, for example, has already
been used successfully by the Fed
eral Geological Survey to measure
diamond-drill holes at uranium
prospects on the Colorado Plateau.
Although measurement of OIL
well bore holes has been a common
practice for many years, it became
even more important with the ad-
vent of secondary-recovery opera
tons.
In the shallow, "stripper" oil
fields of northeastern Oklahoma,
eastern Kansas, and similar areas,
many injection wells are being
completed by pulling the original
casing and cementing two-inch tub
ing at the top of the producing
zone. Until the Bureau devised
its caliper, there was no way of
measuring the hole below this
tubing, because existing instru-
ments were too large in diameter.
The Bureaus caliper operates on
a single-conductor, armored electric
cable, and has four measuring arms
which, when the instrument has
been lowered into a well, can be
opened and closed at will by an
operator at the surface. AS pres
emily designed it can measure bore
holes up to SO inches in diameter,
but it could be designed to measure
holes more than twice that size.
The liquid-level gage developed
by the Bureau of Mines is l 3I4-
inches in diameter, about six feet
long, and operates on a single
conductor, armored cable. A float
inside the gage moves upward
when the liquid level is reached,
changing the flow of electric cur
rent from the surface. A meter on
the surface indicates the depth at
which the gage makes contact with
the liquid.
The Bureaus gage provides a
positive method for finding and fol-
lowing surging liquid level, and
makes it possible to detect changes
in the velocity Of moving level
more accurately than was former
ly possible. The instrument is SIM
