Warrior Data Acquisition Software

Warrior software Release 8.0 is a third-generation 64 / 32-bit Unicode program. The Warrior software is a mature logging package that stresses ease of use, wide versatility, with a true multi-tasking environment. The software can be used on a single computer to acquire real time data from a borehole, to replay, recalculate and print logs from the raw data or imported data from other systems such as LAS or LIS data formats.

A new feature to Warrior 8 is the addition of Distributable Digital Media, the ability to generate a distributable digital media that would allow a User to supply their clients an interactive copy of log data to view without needing Warrior software installed on their computer.

Several programs (or tasks) may be running on one computer at the same time. Within the Warrior system, for example, several different log plots may be displayed independently on the screen and other logs may be directed to plotters. Headings may be prepared, and final log presentations set up, all while continuing to acquire data.

The Warrior Data Acquisition Software supports many existing industry standards from Cased hole, Open hole and Memory oil field logging tool manufacturers. New and startup tool manufacturers can be supported by additional development from Scientific Data Systems's programmers and engineers by adding new Device or Tool software Modules. The Warrior software runs on Windows Operating Systems (currently Windows 10 and Windows 11 32/64 bit).

The Warrior 8 software is installed on Windows 11 computers. The Warrior App Launcher is a configurable shortcut to a variety of Warrior Applications that can be placed on the Windows Taskbar. From these main program group icons, the user can initialize additional functions of the Warrior software such as Database Utilities or Warrior System Control Panel.

An all new (optional) logging interface groups the full functionality of the acquisition system with user defined layouts, button shortcuts and controls. This helps organize the display with gauges, tool module displays and telemetry controls.

Services are predefined so that the operator simply selects the required services and is presented with a fully configured service set up with the last tool string and calibrations run. If other tools are to be run, the graphical tool string editor is used to select the required tool and load the appropriate parameters and calibrations. Data monitors include raw and calibrated data of all sensors, including depth and line speed.

Multiple log plot windows may be opened for comparison of, for example, main and repeat log sections. Log plots may be paused and scrolled to any depth and annotations added, while data acquisition continues. Depth correlation may be performed while logging, with the screen plot and system depth updated until correct depth is attained.

Warrior Software now includes the ability to generate a distributable digital media that would allow a User to supply their clients an interactive copy of log data to view without needing Warrior software installed on their computer. Multiple files may be included for different log runs. It also includes the option to add a PDF file to the distributable files in DVD, USB flash drives or attachable email files.

The media would allow the customer to view the log much as interactive plot is viewed by scrolling up and down the log. It does not provide capabilities to alter the log presentation such as changing scales or adding or removing curves. It does have the ability to change the vertical scaling. If the plot was created with a 3D presentation attached, as often happens in multi-finger caliper presentation, the 3D imaging will also be included in the distributed files.

Acquisition is the main logging or data acquisition subset of the Warrior system. It acquires data from the hardware I/O devices, stores the raw data in the Warrior database and provides all the normal well logging functionality. When necessary, it also automatically starts other Warrior programs to perform additional functions in an integrated manner.

The recalculation mode allows log data to be recalculated or relogged from raw data. Calibrations and other acquisition parameters, such as filters and depth offsets, may be changed. The data monitors used during actual logging are available to the operator during recalculation.
