    摘要: An ultrasonic scanner tool employs a transducer that excites a target plate at a known distance from the transducer. One side of the target plate forms a chamber that in operation is filled with wellbore fluid. On the other side of the target plate, a chamber is formed containing a vacuum or a fluid with a significantly lower acoustic impedance than the wellbore fluid and the target plate, allowing an improved measurement of the acoustic impedance of the wellbore fluid.

    摘要: An acoustic logging system with a borehole tool comprising a transmitter assembly and an axially spaced receiver assembly. The transmitter and receiver assemblies are optionally rotatable with respect to each other, depending upon the embodiment of the logging system. The logging system is designed to measure, among other parameters, the velocity (or slowness) and amplitude of shear wave energy induced by the transmitter assembly within formation penetrated by the borehole. These parameters are extracted from full wave acoustic data responses of receiver elements comprising the receiver assembly, and are measured as a function of azimuth around the borehole. These parameters are subsequently used to determine anisotropic properties of the formation, such as the azimuthal direction of formation fracturing with respect to the well borehole. Optional rotation of the transmitter and receiver assemblies minimizes adverse effects of maintaining calibration and balance of multiple transmitters and receivers.

    摘要: An acoustic well logging tool is shown having a transmitter section and a receiver section spaced apart by a semi-rigid housing. The semi-rigid housing includes a number of rigid tubular members which are joined by interlocking lobes which permit relative movement between the tubular members but which prevent the separation thereof. Gaps between the interlocking lobes are filled with a connecting material which differs significantly in acoustic impedance from the material of the remainder of the housing, whereby acoustic energy passing from the transmitter section along the body of the tool is delayed and attenuated.
