摘要: A downhole system includes a first module having a transmitter that transmits at least one sync control signal. The system also includes a second module having a sync module with a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The sync module analyzes the at least one sync control signal to identify at least one of a sync frequency and a sync phase. The DDS adjusts a local receiver clock based on the identified at least one of a sync frequency and a sync phase.

摘要: A method of monitoring electromagnetic properties of a subsurface formation may include: obtaining a resistivity distribution in the subsurface formation; identifying sensor positions along a borehole; determining an effective resistivity of each region around a sensor position; deriving from the effective resistivities of regions associated with each sensor position an optimum resonance frequency; tuning an array of sensors to provide each sensor with the optimum resonance frequency; deploying the sensor array in the borehole; and collecting electromagnetic field measurements. Each sensor may include: a coil antenna positioned in a subsurface formation having a resistivity, the coil antenna generating a induced voltage signal from an electromagnetic field in the subsurface formation; and a resonant modulation circuit that converts the induced voltage signal into a telemetry signal, the resonant modulation circuit having a resonance frequency optimized for said formation resistivity.

摘要: A ranging signal and a reference signal are generated. The reference signal has a lower frequency than the ranging signal. The reference signal is transmitted through a geological formation to be received by a ranging tool in a ranging well while the ranging signal is launched down a target well. The reference signal is reconstructed in the ranging well and a signal that is a combination of the ranging signal launched from the target well and noise are received in the ranging well. The received signal may be in the form of magnetic or electric field values or changes in these fields. The reconstructed reference signal, in combination with the received signal, is used to produce a filtered ranging signal. A relative location of the target well can then be determined in relation to the ranging well based on the filtered ranging signal. The location information can be used to direct drilling operations.

摘要: The present invention concerns a downhole cable or control line detection tool. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a method and apparatus for the downhole detection of a cable or control line associated with the external wall of a well casing. A downhole tool for the detection of downhole cable or control lines is provided. The downhole tool comprises an eddy current sensor, the eddy current sensor being arranged to be proximate to the internal wall of a well casing. The eddy current sensor is arranged for pulsed operation. The downhole tool further comprises a mechanism for rotating the eddy current sensor, with an axis of rotation parallel with the longitudinal axis of a well casing.

摘要: The highly valuable properties of resistivity and dielectric constant of a geological formation may be determined using an induction measurement, even for a geological formation with bed boundary or dipping effects, using a one-dimensional (1D) formation model. Induction measurements may be obtained in a wellbore through the geological formation using one or more downhole tools. One or more processors may be used to perform an inversion to estimate resistivity and dielectric constant values of the geological formation. The inversion may be performed using the induction measurements and a one-dimensional model that includes a number of geological layers.
