    摘要: A method to obtain gain-corrected measurements. A measurement tool having one or more arrays is provided, wherein the arrays include two co-located triaxial transmitters and two co-located triaxial receivers. Measurements are obtained using the transmitters and the receivers. Impedance matrices are formed from the obtained measurements and the impedance matrices are combined to provide gain-corrected measurements. The apparatus may alternatively be a while-drilling logging tool having one or more arrays, wherein each array comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a buck, and wherein the signal received by the receiver is subtracted from the signal received by the buck or vice versa. A slotted shield may be incorporated into either embodiment of the tool. The slots may form one or more island elements. A material is disposed in the slots. The islands and shield body have complementary tapered sides that confine the islands within the shield body.

    摘要: A wellbore tool for locating a target wellbore containing a conductive member from a second wellbore and directing the trajectory of the second wellbore relative to the target wellbore includes an electric current driver having an insulated gap; a three-axis magnetometer positioned within a non-magnetic housing that is disposed within a non-magnetic tubular, the three-axis magnetometer positioned below the electric current driver; a drill bit positioned below the three-axis magnetometer; a hollow tubular connected between the electric current driver and the three-axis magnetometer; and a measurement-while-drilling tool. The current driver generates an electric current across the gap to the portion of the tool below the insulated gap. In a method a current is generated across the insulated gap to the portion of the tool below the insulated gap to the conductive material in the target wellbore returning to a portion of the bottom hole assembly above the insulated gap thereby producing a target magnetic field. Measuring the target magnetic field at the bottom hole assembly and the earth's magnetic field; and determining the position of the second wellbore relative to the target wellbore. Then steering the bottom hole assembly to drill the second wellbore along a trajectory relative to the target wellbore.

    摘要: Techniques for calibrating an electromagnetic logging tool equipped with a plurality of antennas, with at least one antenna having its axis at an angle with respect to a tool axis, include disposing a test loop about the tool such that an axis of the tool and a plane on which the test loop lies form a tilt angle that is between about 0 and 90 degrees. An induced signal is measured at one of the antennas by energizing another of the antennas. Embodiments analyze the induced signal corresponding to a max or min extrema associated with a coupling effect due to the test loop. In other embodiments a corrected signal is compared with a calculated signal.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining subsurface formation properties using an antenna system disposed within a borehole traversing the formation. A logging system includes a well tool implemented with an antenna system having transverse or tilted magnetic dipoles. One antenna implementation uses a set of three coils having non-parallel axes. Through mechanical or electromagnetic rotation of an antenna about its axis in order to maximize or minimize couplings, the systems and methods are used to estimate formation anisotropic resistivity, providing reduced borehole effects in vertical and small deviation wells. This invention may also be applied in deviated wells when the borehole is perpendicular to the strike direction, as is often the case in wireline logging.

In one embodiment, the receiver includes a pair of coils, each wound on an axis substantially parallel to an axis of the instrument. Each of the coil axes is displaced from the instrument axis by a substantially equal lateral distance in opposite directions. Each of the pair of coils is disposed at substantially the same axial position along the instrument, and the coils are interconnected in inverse series. In another embodiment, the receiver includes two pairs of coils, each wound on an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the instrument. Each of the coil axes in each pair is displaced from the instrument axis by a substantially equal lateral distance an in opposed directions. The pairs are substantially orthogonal to each other. Each of the coils is disposed at substantially the same axial position along the instrument, and the coils in each pair are connected to circuits adapted to determine a difference between signals induced in each of the coils.
