Abstract: A method and apparatus using a multiple transducer acoustic logging tool to detect fractures surrounding a borehole, particularly fractures that do not intersect the borehole wall. The transducers are actuated to produce broad band width pulses and signal enhancement techniques are used to determine fracture width, orientation and distance from the borehole wall.

Abstract: A method for performing a formation fluid test in a borehole penetrating a subsurface formation includes disposing a fluid tester in the borehole, extracting a sample of fluid from the subsurface formation using the fluid tester, and analyzing the sample using the fluid tester to provide test data for a process used to analyze the sample. The method also includes fitting an equation to the test data and calculating a ratio of a first derivative of the equation to a second derivative of the equation. The method further includes continuing to extract the sample from the subsurface formation in response to the ratio indicating a clean sample will be forthcoming and terminating the extracting of the sample from the subsurface formation in response to the ratio indicating a clean sample will not be forthcoming.

Abstract: A fiber optic sensor to determine a property in an environment with a temperature exceeding 150 degrees Celsius includes a light source to emit broadband light, an etendue of the light source being less than 1000 square micro meter-steradians (μm2 sr), and an optical fiber to carry incident light based on the broadband light and a reflection resulting from the incident light. A photodetector detects a resultant light based on the reflection and outputs an electrical signal, and a processor processes the electrical signal from the photodetector to determine the property.
