Geophysical measurement of water in subsurface environments

WIREBmr™ is a downhole geophysics tool that measures the water in a subsurface environment safely, efficiently and accurately. The hardware is specifically tuned to sense fluids within the pore network of the formation, delivering precise determination of the rock's total porosity, mobile fluid and bound fluid and enabling calculation of hydraulic conductivity. WIREBmr™ characterises an entire borehole in a single run without an active radiation source, offering significant time and cost savings over traditional methods.

Benefits

WIREBmr™ provides many benefits which streamline operational processes and mitigate downstream risks.

Monitor changes in hydrogeoloical parametres

Measurements taken prior to a mines development serve as a baseline for undisturbed subsurface conditions. WIREBmr™ logs are high-precision digital measurements that can be repeated to track deviations in environmental conditions from the baseline. These high-precision logs enable informed decision making to ensure regulatory compliance.

Optimise borehole construction

WIREBmr™ optimises dewatering, water production and manages aquifer recharge bores by providing a high-resolution spatial distribution of hydro-geological properties. Bores can then be constructed to target the highest yield intervals.

Understand groundwater movements

WIREBmr™ differentiates between movable and non-movable water fractions and reliably predicts how easily groundwater flows through an orebody. It's a safe, radioactive-free alternative to conventional downhole geophysics measurements, while providing additional hydro-geological information.

Customer story

Menai Straight Tunnel Project

Used in the Menai Strait Tunnel project, WIREBmr™ saved cost and time from the ground investigation program, reducing packer testing on average from 8 to 3 tests per hole, resulting in a minimum rig time decrease of 15 hours per hole.
