The present disclosure is direct to method of performing measurements while drilling in an earth formation. The method may include estimating a location of a seismic reflector using signals from one or more of seismic sensors located at a plurality of locations in a borehole and the drilling depth of the one or more seismic sensors in a borehole. The signals may include information about times when the seismic sensors detect a direct wave and a reflected wave. The method may include storing the information in a memory using a processor.
摘要:
A drill-bit seismic method where the seismic receivers are located in the BHA. The data detected by these receivers is processed by a downhole processing unit in order to estimate the interval velocity of the seismic wave between the sensors and between the bit and a sensor. Additionally, the processed data might provide the distance to a seismic reflector close to the borehole and the average seismic velocity between the well and this reflector. The processed data can be transmitted to surface location by mud-pulse telemetry. The pilot signal can be also used to process seismic data recorded by receivers located at the earth surface (or close to it).

摘要:
A downhole tool starts recording seismic energy. During the recording time, a surface seismic source is activated a specified number of times with a nominally defined separation between successive. The downhole sensor receives seismic waves resulting from the activation, but the time of the shooting sequence is not known downhole. The recorded data stream is processed and converted in real-time into seismic traces. A predefined number of traces are stacked and the quality of this sliding stack is used to detect time of the shooting sequence. The method could be used to detect one or several shooting sequences during a measurement window.
