- Strater for borehole and well log displays
- Surfer for 2D/3D surface modeling and advanced 3D volume visualization
- We are also proficient in AQTESOLV, the industry standard for aquifer test analysis and hydrogeologic interpretation.
Geophysical Modeling & Surface Data Acquisition
- Straub Corporation’s geoscientists operate a range of data acquisition equipment, including:
- Water level, temperature, and water quality transducer dataloggers
- Water level, temperature, and water quality transducer dataloggers
- We collect and process surface geophysics data using:
- AGI SuperSting electrical resistivity systems
- EarthImager software for high-resolution subsurface imaging
- AGI SuperSting electrical resistivity systems
Borehole Geophysical Logging
- Straub Corporation’s geoscientists are trained in subsurface borehole geophysical methods.
- We collect and interpret data using standard API “Triple-Combo” logging equipment and formats to evaluate subsurface formations.
Climatological Data Collection
- We collect climatological data using in-field meteorological dataloggers.
- Straub Corporation’s scientists also gather information from a variety of local, state, and federal data services to support environmental and hydrological analysis.
Historic Log Interpretation & Mapping
- Through years of research and field experience, our geoscientists are proficient in reading and interpreting historic geophysical logs.
- We use these logs to conduct detailed subsurface geological analysis and mapping.
- These skills help clients evaluate and pursue potential resource development projects.
Well-Site Geological Supervision
- Straub Corporation’s geoscientists provide well-site geologic supervision during groundwater production and monitoring well installations.
- We collect and analyze drilling return samples for both geologic and hydrogeologic logging.
Groundwater Resource Development
- We perform groundwater development by integrating surface outcrop observations with subsurface geophysical log data.
- Our team applies this expertise to structural and hydrogeologic investigations aimed at identifying and managing water resources.
