    摘要: Oil-based mud imaging systems and methods having standoff compensation. In some embodiments, disclosed logging systems include a logging tool in communication with surface computing facilities. The logging tool is provided with a sensor array having at least two voltage electrodes positioned between two current electrodes energized by an excitation source to create an oscillatory electric field in a borehole wall. The two current electrodes are each shielded with conductive shields to prevent current leakage into the logging tool body. A common mode voltage is measured, and the phase and amplitude of the excitation source is controlled to reduce the difference between the common mode voltage and reference voltage of a voltage detector. The logging tool is further provided with electronics coupled to the voltage detector and the current electrodes to determine a differential voltage between the voltage electrodes and two current flows from separate ones of the current electrodes. From the differential voltage and multiple current flows, the computing facilities determine borehole wall resistivity, and may display the resistivity as a borehole wall image.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are multicomponent borehole radar tools and methods. At least some tool embodiments employ at least two antennas that receive reflections of electromagnetic pulses transmitted from the tool. A processor processes the receive signals to identify reflection signals and to determine a direction and/or distance to the sources of the reflection signals. Possible sources include formation boundaries, fluid boundaries, cased wells, and other features that cause contrasts in electromagnetic properties. In addition to reflection signals, the measured responses may include direct signal measurements that are useful for determining formation resistivity and permittivity. Each of the antennas may transmit and receive, and they may be collocated to reduce tool size and reduce processing complexity. Disclosed logging tool examples employ both electric and magnetic dipole antennas.

    摘要: A method and system to compensate for inaccuracies in crosswell tomography is presented. The method includes obtaining data from at least two receivers in response to transmissions from at least two transmitters. Next, at least one compensated value is derived based on the responses of the receivers to the transmitters. Finally, an inversion is performed based at least in part on the compensated value derived. This method eliminates inaccuracies that can be caused by sensor gain and phase variations in the inversion process. Inversion results with gain and phase compensation produce better imaging results that can better help determine the shape and boundaries of the reservoir.

    摘要: A logging tool and method for winding a multi-component induction (MCI) antenna is presented. The method eliminates unwanted dipole signals that are created by the voltage drop that takes place in the transmitter. The antenna is made of at least two parts physically separated, one on each side of the mandrel. The winding method is performed in a way that creates at least four windings arranged to eliminate dipole signals attributable to an asymmetric voltage distribution. The midpoint of the conductive wire that for is the antenna windings may be electrically attached to the tool body. This method is suitable for the winding of the cross-components X and Y of the MCI coil arrays.

    摘要: An apparatus and method that provide steerable measurements of attenuation and phase difference are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a logging tool is provided with two triads of orthogonal receivers and a triad of orthogonal transmitters. A controller in the logging tool fires selected transmitters singly and in pairs, and determines measurements of ratios between signals received by the receiver triads. The measurement of sixteen ratios is sufficient to allow determination of attenuation and phase difference that would be measured by virtually steered receivers according to equations provided herein.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a logging tool induction coil form having a coating layer, which is easy to form to tight tolerances, bonded to at least a portion of the outer surface of the ceramic hollow cylindrical core. A plurality of parallel circumferential grooves are machined into the coating layer. Since the coating material is easy to machine, the parallel circumferential grooves can be machined to the tight tolerances needed in logging applications at a fraction of the time and cost of machining ceramic-only forms.
