    摘要: An apparatus for providing an image of a resistivity property of an earth formation surrounding a borehole is provided. The apparatus, in one aspect, may include a plurality of measure electrodes that are configured to convey an electrical current into the earth formation. In one aspect, each measure electrode may be substantially surrounded by an associated insulator that extends away from a tool body in a manner that blocks at least a portion of a vertical current flowing in a conductive fluid when the tool is operated to log the borehole. A processor provides an image of the resistivity property of the earth formation using the current in plurality of measure electrodes.

    摘要: Sequential measurements are made using a two terminal resistivity imaging device wherein the measure electrodes are activated sequentially with the remaining electrodes in a floating mode. This eliminates the hardware requirements for focusing electrodes, prevents galvanic leakage between proximal electrodes and the effects of mutual coupling between circuits including proximal electrodes.

    摘要: A compact magnetic sensor is described that is capable of use in pad-mounted applications and field-focusing applications. A downhole induction tool is described with a compact induction sensor having electromagnetic transmitters wound on a longitudinal core member of a C-clamp shaped transmitter core. The downhole induction tool is suitable for transmitting magnetic excitation fields in multiple directions, both parallel and transverse to the downhole induction tool's longitudinal axis, with minimal susceptibility to errors associated with parasitic eddy currents induced in the metal components surrounding the transmitter and receiver coils. The horizontal (transverse) members of the C-clamp shaped transmitter core can be rotated to orient a magnetic excitation flux path passing between the horizontal (transverse) members and through a downhole formation. The horizontal members can be replicated on a single longitudinal member to shape the magnetic excitation flux path.
