摘要： A downhole tool having a transmitter array with azimuthally spaced transmitters and receiver arrays with azimuthally spaced receivers. Methods of operation include transmitting an acoustic signal from an individual one of the transmitters, sensing an attribute of the acoustic signal with the receivers, and evaluating a characteristic of a portion of a downhole feature based on response signals generated by the first and second receivers. Each response signal is indicative of the acoustic signal attribute sensed by the corresponding receivers. This is repeated with different individual ones of the transmitters and receivers until the evaluated portions of the downhole feature collectively extend around a wellbore.

摘要： A measuring device for measuring a hole in the ground having at least one measuring probe having at least one measurement signal transmitter to transmit a measurement signal, at least one measurement signal receiver to receive the measurement signal reflected on a wall area of the hole, and an evaluation unit for determining a wall distance between the measurement signal transmitter and the wall area of the hole, wherein a measuring distance based on an assignment rule can be assigned to the received, reflected measurement signal. A calibrating device having at least one calibration element. The measurement signal transmitter transmits a calibration signal, which can be reflected on the calibration element, wherein the measurement signal receiver receives the calibration signal reflected on the calibration element. The evaluation unit changes and calibrates the assignment rule based on the calibration signal reflected and received by the calibration element.

摘要： A tool for evaluating the internal surfaces of tubular is provided, wherein one or more arms extend outwardly from the tool into contact with an inner wall of the tubular, and changes in the dimensions or condition of the inner wall result in changes in the position of the ends of the arms relative to the tool. This motion is converted, through an electromagnetic transducer, into an electrical signal, the accuracy of which deteriorates as the temperature of the tool changes. Calibration transducers are provided on the tool to provide correction factors to convert the electromagnetic transducer output into an accurate reading of the distance of the end of the arms from the tool thereby increasing the accuracy of the assessment of the inner wall of the tubular.

摘要： This invention relates to a method of correcting eccentricity of ultrasonic image profiles, measured along a section of rock, including the steps of measuring emitted amplitude values (A0) and measuring transit time values (tθ) of ultrasonic acoustic pulses emitted at a range of default angles (θ), where the amplitude measured at each angle (Aθ) is determined by an amplitude decay model in relation to the transit time (tθ) defined by A θ=Aθ·etθ/τ·Iθ, where τ is the decay correction factor; and Iθ is the reflection coefficient of the rock wall.

摘要： Systems and methods process a measured ultrasonic response waveform to determine a well casing thickness and an acoustic impedance of a sealing medium surrounding the well casing. An array of simulated response waveforms corresponding to a set of candidate acoustic impedances for the sealing medium surrounding the well casing and a set of candidate well casing thicknesses is generated. A simulated response waveform from the array of simulated response waveforms is identified that best matches the measured response waveform so as to determine the sealing medium acoustic impedance.
