Abstract: Signal measurements collected by azimuthally sensitive electromagnetic logging tool as a function of position in a borehole are obtained. The signal measurements are used to identify a type of formation model. An inversion technique appropriate to the type of formation model is applied to the set of signal measurements to determine a geophysical property. The geophysical property is used to make a decision regarding drilling a well.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for ranging operate to use a wireline active ranging system to initially determine a relative distance and relative direction from a first well (e.g., ranging well) to a second well (e.g., target well) and an EM azimuthal logging tool to maintain or adjust the distance from the target well while drilling the ranging well. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A telemetry and communication system and method. The system may comprise a well production system, which may comprise a telemetry sensor disposed in a production well below a highly conductive layer and a transmitter. The system may further comprise a well assist system comprising a sensor which is operable to receive information from the transmitter. A method for providing telemetry and communication may comprise determining a location of a well assist system for a well production system, deploying the well assist system to the location, disposing a sensor from the well assist system below a highly conductive layer, and receiving information with the sensor, the information being transmitted from a transmitter of the well production system disposed below the highly conductive layer.

Abstract: A method of processing data from an electromagnetic resistivity logging tool which includes a transmitter coil and a receiver coil is disclosed. The electromagnetic resistivity logging tool is placed at a desired location. The transmitter coil and the receiver coil are positioned at a first azimuthal angle. A signal is transmitted from the receiver coil. The receiver coil then receives a signal. The signal at the receiver coil, a tilt angle of the transmitter coil, a tilt angle of the receiver coil and the first azimuthal angle are then used to calculate a first complex voltage representing at least one component of the received signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for active ranging-while-drilling (ARWD) for collision avoidance and/or well interception. A method for ranging while drilling may comprise employing a rotating magnet assembly to induce a changing magnetization and/or electric current in a conductive member disposed in a target wellbore, wherein the rotating magnet assembly may be employed in a second wellbore; measuring at least one component of a magnetic gradient tensor using receivers; and calculating a relative location of the conductive member based at least in part on the measurements of the at least one component of the magnetic gradient tensor.

Abstract: An example method includes measuring, with a sensor tool, an electromagnetic field generated by an excitation source in order to determine an azimuth angle from the sensor tool to the source. An initial calibration of the sensor tool is performed to generate a library of sensor tool constant coefficients. Each sensor tool coefficient in the library is associated with a different range of azimuth angles. A sensor tool constant coefficient is selected from the library of sensor tool constant coefficients in response to the azimuth angle from the sensor tool to the source. The gradient field component of down hole measurements provided by the sensor tool are then calibrated based on the selected sensor tool constant coefficient.

Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for determining a measurement for a pseudo receiver antenna with a different lateral position and a different azimuthal direction than at least two receiver antennas disposed on one or more wellbore tools is provided. The method involves transmitting an electromagnetic signal into a subterranean formation surrounding a borehole, and measuring one or more responses of the subterranean formation to the electromagnetic signal using at least two receiver antennas. The two receiver antennas are oriented in differing azimuthal directions relative to one or more tools to which the receiver are coupled, and arranged in a non-parallel angular orientation with respect to each other. The method then includes determining a response measured by a pseudo receiver antenna with a desired angular orientation and a desired azimuthal direction with respect to the one or more tools.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include well ranging apparatus, systems, and methods which operate to receive normal components of electromagnetic field strength azimuthal measurements within a first well at different tool azimuth angles in the first well. Further activities include determining an approximate range from the sensors to a second well that serves as a source of an electromagnetic field, via direct transmission or backscatter transmission, using the normal components of the electromagnetic field strength azimuthal measurements. In some embodiments, the approximate range can be determined without introducing sensor azimuthal separation into range calculations. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
