摘要:
A method is disclosed for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of reflected echo signals produced by an acoustic transducer in a borehole televiewer. An array of acoustic receivers is used in close enough proximity to the transducer to receive the reflected echo signals as directly reflected signals. The array of receivers can be arranged both above and below the transducer, either rotating synchronously with the transducer or being stationary. The signals received by the receivers are analyzed to determine the true amplitude and angle of reflection of the reflected echo signals, and to determine the rugosity of the borehole wall.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for determining the amount of stretch in a well logging cable is disclosed. An optical fibre (10) is run into a well with a logging cable (11) and looped back to the surface. A second optical fibre (14) of nominal length is maintained on the surface. A beam of monochromatic light from a source (17) is split and passed through both fibres and recombined. As the well logging tool (1) is raised and lowered into the wellbore, the number of interference fringes passing a fixed point is determined. The change in length of the optical fibre and, therefore, the cable will be equal to 1/2 the number of interference fringes passing a fixed point times the wavelength of light is used. A precise determination of vertical location of the well logging tool (1) can then be made when this information is combined with information from a surface mounted length measurement device, such as an odometer. This information further allows a precise determination of interval bulk density or other formation parameters in which it is important to know the depth of a tool.
