Abstract

A data collection station with movable second floor walls adjacent stationary first floor walls, wherein the data collection station can have climate control equipment and various devices for data collection while allowing three hundred degree viewing from a load bearing second floor.

Claims (38)

1. A moveable data collection station comprising:

a. a housing comprising a first section nested within a second section, the second section comprising walls;

b. a lifting mechanism connected with the first section and the second section, wherein the lifting mechanism is configured to move the first section relative to the second section, the lifting mechanism comprising hydraulic cylinders configured to lift and lower the walls of the second section relative to the first section;

c. a first work station located within the first section;

d. a second work station located within the second section; and

e. equipment for data collection located within the first section, the second section, or combinations thereof.

2. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , wherein the equipment for data collection comprises:

a. a sand sieve;

b. a viscosity measurement device;

c. a pH meter;

d. a temperature and pressure measuring device;

e. a means for weighing a sample;

f. a programmable logic controller;

g. a gas chromatograph;

h. a flow meter;

i. a mass spectrometer;

j. a density/durometer/brittleness measuring device; or

k. combinations thereof.

3. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , comprising at least one transmitter/receiver is in communication with a network.

4. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , wherein each of the hydraulic cylinders supports a moveable rod connected with one of the walls of the second section.

5. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , comprising a hydraulic pump connected with each of the hydraulic cylinders.

6. The moveable data collection station of claim 5 , comprising a reservoir connected with the hydraulic pump and configured to use hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to engage each of the hydraulic cylinders to move the cylinders to life and lower the walls of the second section.

7. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , comprising a wireline spool and further comprising a wireline counting system and a hand control in communication with the wireline spool.

8. The moveable data collection station of claim 7 , wherein the hand control is configured to control the wireline spool by operating a system that is at least one of electric, hydraulic or pneumatic.

9. The moveable data collection station of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first section or the second section comprises a control panel configured to induce positive and negative currents through the wireline spool to perform downhole operations involving the wireline.

10. The moveable data collection station of claim 7 , comprising a pocket door configured to selectively cover at least a section of the wireline spool.

11. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , comprising a staircase associated with the first section and the second section and configured to allow a user to travel between the first and second sections.

12. The moveable data collection station of claim 1 , wherein the first section comprises walls, slide rails are connected to the walls of the first section, and the slide rails are connected to the walls of the second section.

13. The moveable data collection station of claim 12 , wherein the slide rails are connected with an outer side of the walls of the first section.

14. The moveable data collection station of claim 13 , wherein the walls of the second section nest around the walls of the first section.

15. The moveable data collection station of claim 12 , wherein the slide rails are connected with an inner side of the walls of the first section.

16. A moveable data collection station comprising:

a. a housing comprising a first section nested within a second section,

b. a lifting mechanism connected with the first section and the second section, wherein the lifting mechanism is configured to move the first section relative to the second section;

c. a first work station located within the first section;

d. a second work station located within the second section;

e. equipment for data collection located within the first section, the second section, or combinations thereof; and

f. a wireline spool, a wireline counting system, and a hand control in communication with the wireline spool, the hand control is configured to control the wireline spool by operating a system that is at least one of electric, hydraulic or pneumatic, and at least one of the first section or the second section comprises a control panel configured to induce positive and negative currents through the wireline spool to perform downhole operations involving the wireline.
