    摘要: Systems, tools and techniques for measuring downhole parameters are provided. The techniques involve providing a downhole tool with a sensing apparatus. The sensing apparatus has at least one source positionable about the downhole tool, at least one sensor electrode positionable about a front face of the downhole tool for measuring electrical signals from the source, and a raised insulating cover positionable along the front face of the downhole tool for defining at least one contact surface. The raised insulating cover extends over at least a portion of the sensor electrode whereby the sensor electrode is positionable adjacent to the subterranean formation for electrically coupling thereto without direct contact therewith.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of calculating the impedance of a material behind the section of a casing. An acoustic excitation pulse is directed towards a section of the casing, resulting in a return waveform having a reverberation segment and an initial reflection segment. The return waveform is analyzed to choose a resonance frequency indicative of the casing's nominal thickness. The return waveform is bandpass filtered about the chosen frequency. A time window of the reverberation segment is selected, and the energy content in the time window of the filtered reverberation segment is calculated. Both the bandpass filter and time windows are selected based on the chosen resonance frequency, thereby removing variations in the thickness of the casing. The energy content calculation produces a cementation signal indicative of the impedance of the cement behind the section of the casing. The impedance value is indicative of the cement quality. In accordance with another aspect, a time portion of the initial reflection segment is chosen, and the energy content in the time window of the filtered initial reflection segment is calculated. This energy is used to normalize the cementation signal calculated from the reverberation segment. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the impedance of the material behind the casing is determined.

    摘要: A system and method for determining a downhole parameter is provided. The system has a sensor positionable on a downhole tool. The sensor comprises insulation positionable on a pad of the downhole tool, and return(s) positionable in the insulation, the return(s) adapted to exchange a current with a power source, the return(s) defining a fluid zone. The sensor comprises a mud button positionable within the fluid zone and in the insulation a distance from the return(s), the mud button exchanging current with the return(s). The mud button and the fluid zone are positioned a distance from the formation such that a majority of the current passing between the return(s) and the mud button passes through the downhole fluid whereby the current exchanged with the mud button generates a measurement of the downhole fluid.
