    摘要: Apparatus and methods for identifying drilling cuttings downhole by extracting an echo from a pulse-echo waveform acquired utilizing a downhole ultrasonic tool having an acoustic device. An energy before echo profile preceding the extracted echo is determined, and then the energy before echo profile is processed to remove effects associated with the acoustic device. A cutting is then identified from the processed energy before echo profile.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to measure a formation feature. An example apparatus includes a pre-processor to compare a first measurement obtained from a first sensor included in a logging tool at a first depth at a first time and a second measurement obtained from a second sensor included in the logging tool at the first depth at a second time. The example apparatus also include a semblance calculator to: calculate a correction factor based on a difference between the first measurement and the second measurement; and calculate a third measurement based on the correction factor and a fourth measurement obtained from the first sensor at a second depth at the second time. The example apparatus also includes a report generator to generate a report including the third measurement.

    摘要: A downhole assembly may include a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface adapted for contact with a downhole fluid, the inner surface defining an interior volume. One or more heat producing components may be disposed within the interior volume and in thermal contact with a structural component (e.g., chassis). One or more thermal dissipation members may be disposed within the housing, the one or more thermal dissipation members in thermal contact with the chassis and in thermal contact with the inner surface of the housing.

    摘要: Methods for correcting eccentering effects on echoes detected from ultrasonic pulses emitted by a transducer of a downhole tool. Echo envelope amplitude, azimuth, and location for each echo is utilized to assess echo amplitude sensitivity to geometric and spatial characteristics of the downhole tool within the wellbore. Echo envelope amplitudes are corrected for eccentering effects based on the assessed sensitivity. A visual representation of the corrected echo envelope amplitudes is the generated. Also disclosed herein are tangible, non-transient, computer-readable media comprising instructions executable by a processor to carry out the methods, as well as systems including downhole tools and processing devices operable to carry out the methods.

    摘要: A downhole tool for real-time caliper measurements is provided. The downhole tool comprises multiple acoustic transducers mounted at different positions of the tool, and a control system. The control system drives the multiple transducers, receives pressure echo signals from the transducers, records the pressure echo signals in the memory, extracts data of two-way transit time and echo amplitude from the echo signals, and computes at least one of a borehole diameter, a tool center position, and an acoustic slowness or velocity of downhole fluid, based on the data of transit time and echo amplitude.
