Abstract Geothermal logging tools are difficult to develop due to sustained high temperature operation. Recent commercial component offerings are significantly altering the high temperature geothermal tool problem. This paper implements a new baseline geothermal tool circuit working with five 225C, SOI components. An example tool including up to four spinners (fluid flow measurement), four analog inputs (for pressure, temperature or other sensors), EEPROM storage (program and data), FSK logic (wireline data transmission), and a high-speed UART (tool communication). Field updates of code and calibration constants are supported. Further, this paper demonstrates how the tool electronics can be expanded for more complex applications such as a geothermal well logging camera.

When the typically utilized method for detecting the drilling conditions of high-temperature geothermal wells is applied, the detection takes a long time, the detection results are inconsistent with the actual conditions, and there are problems such as low detection efficiency and large detection deviation. Therefore, a method for detecting the drilling conditions of high-temperature geothermal wells described by a unit quaternion is proposed. Based on quaternion theory, the quaternion model of the position and attitude is constructed to obtain the drilling attitude. According to the analysis results and the basic principle of kernel principal component analysis, a model is built to realize the detection of high-temperature geothermal well drilling conditions. The experimental results show that in many iterations, the time required is stable and lower than that of other comparison methods, and the detection errors are all lower than 10%. The proposed method has high detection efficiency and low detection errors.
