In-Depth™

In-Depth™ aims to provide precise depth correlation without the need to run correlation logs on electric line. Marathon is a part owner of In-Depth, Inc., a venture focused on improving depth correlation and inventory control in the oil and gas industry. The primary focus of this collaboration is the use of radio frequency identification tags (RFID) to give identification codes to downhole devices. Each item has a unique tag number. By cross-referencing the unique number to the open-hole logs, each casing collar has a known open hole depth. Subsequent well operations can be conducted without having to run correlation logs. Many operations can then be conducted with the use of downhole-memory tools on slickline.
