Testing, Sampling, and Analysis Plan <br />January 15, 2025 <br />3 <br />Zone 7 Water Agency and <br />City of Pleasanton <br />3. SPINNER/FLOWMETER, AND DISCRETE DEPTH SAMPLING <br />STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, PACIFIC SURVEYS <br />3.1. Applicability <br />The main application of Spinner/Flowmeter logging is subsurface characterization of the vertical fluid <br />movement within the well-bore. The impeller or spinner flowmeter (spinner) uses an impeller that <br />revolves in response to fluid flow. As fluid moves through the impeller blades, they rotate at a known <br />speed based on the pitch of the impeller blades. The number of impeller revolutions per second is <br />automatically recorded and used to calculate the velocity of the fluid. Spinner measurements can be made <br />while ascending or descending in the opposite direction of the fluid movement to generate a continuous <br />flow profile. Additionally, spinner stop count measurements can be recorded at a particular depth while <br />the tool is held stationary to measure flow at a specific location in the well-bore. Once the flow profile of <br />the well-bore has been identified, depth-specific samples can be collected at the identified flow zones. <br />3.2. Scope <br />The geophysical logging contractor’s responsibility is to provide a qualified logging Engineer (a qualified <br />person familiar with logging equipment, operations & procedures) and the following: <br />x Properly calibrated logging tools. <br />x Sufficient backup tools to ensure that all requested services will be successfully performed. <br />x Ensure that all measurements have a common depth basis (i.e., depth-matched data). <br />x Borehole corrected data. <br />x Paper copy field prints of all logs at the proper depth and horizontal scales. <br />x Paper and reproducible copy final prints of all logs at the proper depth and horizontal scales. <br />x Log ASCII standard containing all digitally measured and processed log data. <br />x Log PDF files of all logs at the proper depth and horizontal scales. <br />3.3. Data Collection <br />Measurements are made as the tool is ascended or descended in the well-bore at a constant rate on a <br />multi-conductor or coaxial armored cable (or wireline) using a power supply at the surface. Measurement <br />depth is controlled by passing the cable over a calibrated sheave wheel. Downhole data is transmitted via <br />the cable to a data acquisition system (i.e., processing system) and transmitted to a computer at the <br />surface where the data is stored and processed. Geophysical logs are paper copy records of borehole <br />measurements plotted with amplitude on the horizontal axis and depth on the vertical axis. Other <br />information presented in the geophysical logs include: <br />A. Borehole identification number <br />B. Client name <br />C. Borehole location (city, county, state GPS coordinates if available) <br />D. Date
