MAXIM Technology’s range of products can be deployed on either electric wireline for surface read-out (SRO) or memory for downhole recording.
MAXIM's High Speed Telemetry interface (HSTi) system is used to transmit data from downhole tools to a surface acquisition system and is one of the fastest available for use on monocable. Inter-tool communication is available via the Downhole Tool Bus (DTB) which enables very high speed communication between tools and downhole data processing.
Downhole data recording is facilitated by the High Capacity Memory Cartridge (HCMC) which is available with memory in increments of 16Mbyte for almost unlimited recording capability.
All tools are built using approved NACE specification materials (MRO175) for use in wells containing H2S and/or CO2.
Amongst other products, Maxim manufactures the world’s shortest 9 sensor production logging tool (PPL).

Maxim Product Codes & Description
101 Accelerometer Velocity Tool Measures changes in tool string velocity (acceleration) along the wellbore axis, and also measures wellbore deviation. Enables correction of data corruption caused by tool yo-yo and stick-slip motion. Return to: Top Codes
102 Casing Collar Locator Detects joints between lengths of casing. A special CCL is designed to detect flush-joint casing. Return to: Top Codes
103 Scintillation Gamma RayMeasures natural background radiation - used as a depth control device and to tie-in cased hole logs with open hole logs. Return to: Top Codes
104 Quartz Pressure ToolMeasures down hole pressure using a quartz pressure gauge. Return to: Top Codes
105 Temperature ToolPerforms a precision, high-resolution measurement of down hole temperature. Return to: Top Codes
106 Calliper Fullbore Flowmeter Combines a two axis Calliper to measure wellbore diameter with a flowmeter to measure fluid flow, and provides lower centralisation when deployed with PPL. Return to: Top Codes
107 In-line Flowmeter Measures flow of fluid in the well. Small diameter so can measure flow in tubing as well as casing. Return to: Top Codes
108 Radioactive Fluid Density ToolMeasures fluid density using a low energy radioactive source, in order to derive fluid identity (oil/water/gas). Return to: Top Codes
109 Differential Pressure Fluid DensityMeasures fluid density using a precision differential pressure gauge. Return to: Top Codes
110 Water Hold-up Tool (sometimes referred to as CWH, capacitance water hold-up)Measures hydrocarbon / water ratio in the well. Return to: Top Codes
111 Centraliser Centralises the tool string in the wellbore. Return to: Top Codes
112 Calliper
Measures diameter of casing or tubing.Return to: Top Codes
113 Knuckle Joint Allows decoupling of section of a logging tool string in order to run some elements centralised and others excentred. Return to: Top Codes
114 Swivel Joint Allows rotational movement between the cable head and the toolstring below to allow cable to ‘untorque’ as it is run in the well. Return to: Top Codes
115 Head Tension Voltage Tool Measures tension and compression at the tool head as well as tool head voltage. Return to: Top Codes
116 Addressable Release Tool Enables engineer- controlled release of part of a cased hole toolstring in the event that the toolstring becomes stuck. Return to: Top Codes
117 Pocket Production Logging Tool Ultra short, all-in-one production logging tool. The basic unit measures pressure, temperature, gamma ray, fluid capacitance, and CCL. Return to: Top Codes
118 Horizontal Fluid Profile ToolUsed to derive fluid identity and flow rates in highly deviated or horizontal wells. Return to: Top Codes
119 Orientation Velocity Tool Measures tension and compression at the tool head, tool head-voltage, deviation and tool orientation. Return to: Top Codes
125 High Speed Telemetry InterfaceFully digital mono/co-axial cable telemetry system comprising downhole electronic cartridge (HSTC) and surface panel (HSTP) or DELTA surface system. Return to: Top Codes
126 Digital Evaluation Logging Tool Acquisition System
![]()
Highly compact computer based surface system used to acquire log data in real time. Employs a Windows-based system for ease of use and flexibility. Return to: Top Codes
127 Memory Cross-Over ToolEnables a third party memory tool to be run with Maxim downhole tools. Return to: Top Codes
128 Vibration Monitoring ToolMeasures vibration occurring in a stuck drill pipe downhole. Return to: Top Codes
129 Fluid Identification Tool Identifies the proportion of each fluid type (oil/water/gas) in order to derive the volumetric flowrate of each component in the well. Return to: Top Codes
130 Fluid Diverter ToolForces all flow from a low flow rate well through a small orifice in order to make accurate measurements of flowrate and fluid identity. Return to: Top Codes
131 High Capacity Memory Cartridge Records log data downhole for later retrieval and viewing on a PC. Return to: Top Codes
132 Fixed Cage FlowmeterA bottom flowmeter with a fixed diameter impeller used where a CFF is not appropriate. Return to: Top Codes
133 Multifinger CalliperA calliper with a high radial density of measure fingers used to monitor casing/tubing corrosion, erosion and wear. Return to: Top Codes
134 Electromagnetic Thickness ToolMeasures the metal loss in corroded/eroded downhole tubulars. Combinable with the MFC. Return to: Top Codes
