About Us

Why Choose ADG

Exploration & Water Bore Logging

Set up in January 2012 by Ross Robson, a Senior Coal Geologist, ADG actualises the real cost benefits of accurately validating the coal seam depths in blast holes in a fast, efficient, and safe manner.

Exploration & Water Bore Logging

The subsequent commissioning of a Toyota Troop Carrier with a full suite of downhole sondes and recording equipment has allowed us to expand the business to service coal exploration and water bore logging requirements.

Exploration & Water Bore Logging

Moving Forward

We have a vision to further expand our capabilities for blasthole logging and general exploration. ADG is constantly assessing new downhole tools and acquisition systems as customer requirements and tooling evolve.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

ADG has the ability to efficiently and effectively complete the following wireline assignments:

Borehole-compensated formation density measurement (long and short spaced)
Formation natural gamma
Formation velocity and full-waveform (sonic)
Borehole inclination and direction (verticality)
Formation resistance (resistivity)
Continuous borehole diameter (caliper)
Acoustic scan surveys

Using our data processing software, ADG can produce the following single-run individual surveys:

High-resolution density, long-spaced density, bed boundary density and natural gamma
Focused DLL3 resistivity and natural gamma
Borehole inclination, direction and drift, true vertical depth

ADG currently uses a sister Company, Geosensor, to process acoustic scan surveys for structural assessments and also for sonic processing of formation velocity, time of first arrivals and integrated transit times.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Anastasia Dmyterko: Whitehaven Coal - Werris Creek

“I have been using ADG services since beginning my role as Coal Quality Geologist for WHC. The team are very responsive to short notice requests for work whilst providing quick and efficient turnover of data. James, Quinton and Cheryl understand the needs of a busy mine and have also accommodated weekend requests for data, which is an invaluable service. I have only good experiences with the ADG team and can strongly recommend their logging services. 27/07/2020.”

Elsie Gretton: Boggabri Coal

“ ADG have been our preferred Geophysical Services contractor since 2017, used in both blasting and exploration applications.

They provide a consistent tailored service and are able to be flexible in meeting evolving requirements (time and capacity).

I have no hesitation in recommending ADG. 03/09/2020”
