To achieve this, the need for a comprehensive conformance system for all probes and associated equipment was essential to provide quantitative log data that is traceable to known industry references.
To satisfy this, a test borehole facility was established at the Tre Morfa manufacturing site with the drilling and casing of a 170m borehole. This facility remains an integral part of the system to ensure conformance of all probes that are sold, rented or used by Robertson Geo Service logging teams.
The logs from many thousands of probes in this borehole will contribute toward guaranteeing the accuracy and repeatability of Robertson Geo data.
Robertson Geo’s tool calibration and ISO 9001-2015 procedures provide reassurance that data acquisition complies with the various mandatory requirements for the classification of Mineral Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. This level of confidence is critical in defining geological knowledge and technical/economic parameters for use in Public Reports, including the JORC, CIM, UNFC, CRIRSCO, PERC, SAMREC, SME and MRC International standards. Robertson Geo is licensed to factory test and calibrate its nuclear tools with corresponding radioactive sources prior to shipping.
Unless this is achieved, logging results cannot meet the necessary compliance standards and log data cannot be used for quantitative measurement or calculations.
