    Abstract: A method to estimate water saturation in electromagnetic measurements includes making an electromagnetic measurement and performing at least one of (a) creating an analytical forward model of the EM measurement, (b) creating a numerical finite difference forward model of the EM measurement, and (c) performing an inversion. The method also includes removing at least one petrophysically-adverse alteration of EM measurements in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 MHz. A petrophysically-adverse alteration is due to the presence of at least one of the following: pyrite, graphitic-precursors, magnetite, and other conductive minerals.

    Abstract: A method includes accepting as input to a processor measurements of a characteristic of a subsurface formation made at a plurality of spaced apart positions along a pipe string moved along a wellbore. Measurements are made of pipe string depth in the wellbore from the Earth's surface. The measurements of pipe string depth include measurements of apparent depth of each of the spaced apart locations. The subsurface formation is identified from the measurements of the characteristic. A true depth of the subsurface formation is made using the measurements of pipe string depth and apparent depth of the formation from each of the spaced apart positions. A record of measurements of the characteristic with respect to depth corrected for changes in length of the pipe string caused by axial forces along the pipe string is generated.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating an electromagnetic core analysis tool is disclosed. The method includes disposing a tilted test loop inside of or outside of a tool having more than one antenna. A uniform test pack, a layered test pack, and an effective media test pack are each disposed in the tool. A signal is induced in a receiver antenna in the tool when a second antenna is energized with a known current of a known frequency. The induced signal is measured and a calibration gain and offset is determined. A corrected signal is produced and compared with the determined signal based on a forward model.

    Abstract: A method for estimating equivalent top of fluid level or a theoretical surface annular back pressure in a subterranean wellbore includes acquiring first and second axially spaced pressure measurements in the wellbore. The pressure measurements may then be processed to compute the equivalent top of fluid level and/or theoretical surface annular back pressure of drilling fluid between the measurement locations. A tool string including a large number of axially spaced pressure sensors (e.g., four or more or even six or more) electronically coupled with a surface processor via wired drill pipe may be used to obtain a plurality of values corresponding to various wellbore intervals. The equivalent top of fluid level and/or theoretical surface annular back pressures may be used in automated managed pressure drilling operations.
