    摘要: A method and apparatus useful to determine the integrity of a cement bond log disposed in the annular space between a casing and a wellbore. The method and apparatus produce a transversely polarized shear wave and emit the wave through the casing and into the wellbore. The transversely polarized shear wave attenuates upon passage through the cement bond log. The integrity of the cement bond log can be determined through an analysis and evaluation of the attenuation results.

    摘要: An apparatus for performing acoustic investigations while drilling a borehole in a subsurface geological formation comprises a longitudinally extending assembly conveyed in the borehole on a drilling tubular. The assembly and the drilling tubular have a drilling fluid flowing through a longitudinally extending passage in the assembly and the drilling tubular. An acoustic transmitter is supported by the assembly. The transmitter generates acoustic signals in the assembly, the borehole and the subsurface formation. An acoustic receiver is spaced apart from the transmitter and receive the acoustic signals. An attenuator is located in the assembly between the acoustic transmitter and the acoustic receiver for attenuating the acoustic signals in the assembly within a predetermined frequency range. The attenuator comprises a tubular element of a composite material having a substantially cylindrical outer surface. The outer surface has a plurality of spaced-apart masses having a predetermined spacing, mass and length firmly attached thereto.

    摘要: A method useful for evaluating the presence and/or the quality of the cement bond of a downhole tubular. The method involves measuring radial resonance modes of the tubular, and comparing those measured values to the unbound tubular resonant values of a calibration ring. For a well bonded tubular, the measured radial resonance should be greater than that of the unbound tubular calibration ring. In regions where a fluid, such as water surrounds the outside of the tubular, or the cement is otherwise not bonded to the outer surface of the tubular, the measured response should be less than the calibrated response. The calibration ring should have the same diameter, wall thickness, and be made of the same material as the tubular.

    摘要: A plurality of heavy mass irregularities attached to an inner wall of the drill collar attenuate waves traveling through the collar. The plurality of heavy mass irregularities are spaced and sized for the maximum attenuation of acoustic pulses in a predetermined frequency range. The mass irregularities may be rings secured to the inner surface of the collar by neck pieces, extending outwardly from the outer circumference of the ring. The mass irregularities may be made of steel or tungsten and are between six and ten in number. The spacing of the irregularities may lie between twelve and fourteen centimeters. A center pipe may be included to isolate the irregularities from the fluid flow associated with the drilling operation. The pipe may be of a soft material such as rubber to reduce transfer of acoustic noise along the drill string. The irregularities may be in an oil based fluid with the pipe fitting closely in the center of the rings. In another embodiment of the invention, each of the mass irregularities is attached to the drill collar over substantially the entire length of the mass irregularity, enabling the attenuation of high frequencies. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the attenuator comprises a substantially cylindrical body with a plurality of recesses on the inside and/or outside of the cylindrica body, with the length of the recesses selected to provide attenuation within a specified band. In another embodiment of the invention, the attenuator comprises a plurality of sections each having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, each section acting like a waveguide with an associated passband and reject-band.
