Paraphrasing...
We
need technology. Reaching in the "Black Box".
Back in the early 1900's two brothers, the
Schlumberger brothers, Conrad, and Marcel came to America from France. Their
travels led them from the oil fields of Texas to Arizona.
The Schlumberger brothers had a "Black
Box".
In 1923, the brothers began conducting geophysical
surveys in various countries including Romania, Serbia, Canada, Union of South
Africa, Belgian Congo, and the United States. In 1926, Henri George Doll
(Conrad's son-in-law) joined the group. In 1926, the brothers formed Société de
Prospection Electrique to develop the theory that
adding resistivity information from deeper formations would increase the
effectiveness of the surface prospecting technique. The first office was in
Paris on the rue Fabert.

Open-hole Well
logging can measure formations that represent aquifers. When combined with
surface geophysical surveys, a 3D picture of the earth can be formed!

It isn’t complicated. Ranchers and Farmers have an
opportunity to empower themselves with knowledge about their water. WELLOG in
cooperation with our affiliate,
Groundwater Exploration, LLC can provide one-on-one
coaching to anyone interested in learning about how to measure their water
resources.
