ViewMax is Expro's latest development in downhole video technology. The tool incorporates a second camera in the  patented backlight camera lighthead. This second camera is pointed sideways and can rotate allowing unobstructed views of the wall of the pipe or openhole formation, fractures, etc. ViewMax allows operators to acquire both the traditional down view ahead of the tool and/or to view the pipe wall on the same trip in the well. By alternating the power sent to the tool, the video operator can switch between cameras or to rotate the camera to get a circumferential view of the pipe.

By providing images of the pipe wall, ViewMax can provide operators more information on the causes of failures in their wells or to better understand the nature of their problem. The tool works with either the fiber optic video system or the HawkEye III electric line camera.
