Arctic Directory: Schlumberger Water Services Launches Diver-DCX

Schlumberger said Aug. 25 that its water-centric group, Schlumberger Water Services, released a new component in the Diver Suite of groundwater monitoring systems that expands the communication format of diver dataloggers. The Direct Communication eXchanger integrates diver dataloggers into SDI-12 compatible telemetry systems for effective, real-time monitoring of municipal water supplies, industrial and contaminated sites and water levels and quality at mine sites. Diver-DCX features a built-in pressure sensor for automatically compensating water levels to the effects of atmospheric pressure, reducing the need for manual post-processing. The robust compact housing is water-resistant and is powered by an external source. This allows for flexible installation inside the well casing, translating to long-term, reliable operations. Diver-DCX is CE certified and is compliant with the SDI-12 standard for environmental data acquisition. Schlumberger Water Services operates globally and specializes in the development, management and environmental protection of water resources. Leveraging experience and proprietary subsurface characterization technologies, it offers mining, power, oil and gas, and public sector clients the decision-making framework for addressing short and long-term water challenges.
