Abstract
A sensor transportation apparatus to convey an elongate sensor assembly through a wellbore, the sensor transportation apparatus comprises a pair of axles and a pair of wheels corresponding with the pair of axles with each wheel mounted on a respective said axle to rotate about an axis of rotation perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate sensor assembly. A protection structure extends longitudinally around each wheel to prevent a side of the wheel from contacting a wall of the wellbore. Each wheel extends above and below the protection structure to contact a side of the wellbore.
