    摘要: A method for estimating formation permeability from measured sonic wave Stoneley attributes and particularly the Stoneley attributes of slowness (DTst) and attenuation (ATTst), taking into consideration the existence of a heavy walled drill collar at the end of the drill string and the relative lack of borehole mud cake during a drilling operation. In the subject LWD application a real-time qualitative indication for fracture and permeable zones is estimated from Stoneley measurements. This information is useful to a driller to make important timely decisions about drilling and completion programs.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to determine slowness of drilling fluid in an annulus are described. An example method of determining slowness of drilling fluid in an annulus of a borehole in a formation includes obtaining a first slowness of the drilling fluid in the annulus and measuring with a downhole tool slownesses of the formation based on the first slowness. The example method also includes determining a first compressibility of the formation based on the slownesses of the formation and a first density of the formation and calculating a second density and a second compressibility of the drilling fluid in the annulus based on the first density and the first compressibility. The method also includes calculating a second slowness of the drilling fluid in the annulus based on the second density and the second compressibility.

    摘要: Certain embodiments are directed to devices, systems and methods for determining a penetration depth of an induced oscillation in a porous medium. In certain examples, the devices, systems and methods are designed to detect a magnetic resonance signal in the presence of an induced oscillatory fluid flow in a porous medium to determine penetration depth of the induced oscillation in the porous medium. In some examples, the mobility of a fluid in the porous medium may be determined from the determined penetration depth.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus facilitating radial profiling of shear slowness are disclosed. According to some aspects of the invention, acoustic tool bias is accounted for in the calculation of radial profiles. According so some aspects, acoustic tool bias is accounted for by replacing acoustic tool structure with a resonance-impedance model. The resonance-impedance modeling according to principles of the present invention is applicable to vertical, deviated, and horizontal boreholes.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to optimize parameters in a downhole environment are described. An example downhole tool includes a transmitter to transmit a signal into a subterranean formation and one or more receivers to receive at least a portion of the acoustic signal. The downhole tool also includes a processor configured to determine slownesses of different acoustic modes at a frequency of the signal received. Each of the slownesses is associated with a first parameter and a second parameter. The different acoustic modes have substantially different sensitivities to at least one of the first parameter or the second parameter. The processor to invert the determined slownesses of the different acoustic modes to determine an optimized value of the first parameter and an optimized value of the second parameter.
