    摘要: Disclosed herein is method of computing formation attributes from acoustic measurements in a borehole. The acoustic measurements can be made by operating an acoustic source at multiple frequencies to excite the formation and operating receivers at multiple, longitudinally spaced receiver stations to receive acoustic energy from the formation. The method can include: deriving phase data from the spectrum of received acoustic signals; unwrapping phase information of the phase spectrum data; determining two or more values of difference of phase between acoustic signals at each of a range of frequencies each based on a single generated signal received at two or more pairs of adjacent said receiver stations; generating a value of slope of phase difference values; and in any case of slope ambiguity, unwrapping phase difference information and deriving a dominant slope, at each frequency, from which slowness of the acoustic signal in the formation can be derived.

    摘要: The apparatus includes a pump for circulating pressurized fluid in a wellbore. A control device controls the pump which a conduit interconnects to the wellbore. A downhole transducer detects changes in fluid pressure at a downhole location and generates signals accordingly. A processor generates actuator commands based on the signals. Actuators activate a downhole tool based on the actuator command. A modulating valve modulates the fluid pressure. A remote transducer detects the pressure remotely from the downhole transducer. The control device causes the pump to generate acoustic signals in the fluid via wave forms which the downhole transducer detects. The modulating valve generates wave forms in the fluid. The control device sends control signals via the fluid to the downhole transducer. Consequently the processor actuates the tools. Following correct actuation the modulating valve generates signals via pressure changes which the remote transducer receives to indicate successful tool deployment.

    摘要: Logging tool communication apparatus (10), for carrying out a downhole communication method, comprises rotatable and/or longitudinally reciprocable drill pipe (12) including fixed or capable of being fixed in a co-rotative and/or co-reciprocable relationship at an in-use downhole end an in-use downhole logging tool (27). The logging tool (27) includes a movement sensor (33); and the apparatus (10) includes a motor, at a location remote from the logging tool (27), for causing rotation and/or reciprocation of the drill pipe (12) in a borehole or wellbore (18). The apparatus (10) includes one or more control elements for selectively controlling operation of the motor so as to cause selective rotation and/or reciprocation of the drill pipe (12) which causes movement of the logging tool (27), when fixed to the drill pipe (12), in a manner that is detectable by the movement sensor (33).

    摘要: In a method of processing resistivity log data, two or more resistivity log measurements of differing depths of penetration of an invaded formation are generated. The deepest and shallowest of the resistivity log measurements are combined in accordance with a non-linear combination algorithm that is modulated by a parameter. The value of the parameter used varies in dependence on a comparison between deep and shallow log measurements. The results of the comparison are forward modelled from sample data. A modified log output is generated as a result of combining the deepest and shallowest of the resistivity log measurements in accordance with the non-linear combination algorithm.

    摘要: A transmitter for an acoustic logging tool includes an elongated housing, an acoustic energy generator, and a driver. The elongate housing defines a hollow interior and supports an acoustic energy generator, which includes four mutually orthogonally orientated bender bars that are electrically driveable to flex within the hollow interior in order to generate pressure-derived waves in a fluid surrounding the transmitter in use. The housing includes one or more transmissive windows via which flexing of the bender bars gives rise to propagation of one or more said waves in a said fluid. The driver electrically drives the bender bars to flex so as selectively to generate monopole, dipole, or quadrupole waves in a said fluid, with the poles of the dipole and quadrupole when generated selectively being aligned with normals to pairs of the bender bars or rotated 45° relative thereto.
