摘要： Shield apparatus are provided for use with logging instruments equipped with transverse magnetic dipole antennas. Flexible dielectric strips and dielectric cylindrical bodies are implemented with conductive elements in various patterns to form Faraday shield structures. The shields provide an extended conductive surface to the instrument support member and redirect axial currents along the borehole, protecting the underlying antennas from the undesired effects of these currents.

摘要： An apparatus and method provides an anchoring apparatus for use in a wellbore that comprises a gripping assembly and an actuation assembly. In one arrangement, the actuation assembly includes a motor and a module having at least a compressible element (e.g., a hydraulic module) between the motor and the gripping assembly. Upon activation, the motor actuates the hydraulic module to cause activation of the gripping assembly. In one arrangement, the anchoring apparatus is designed to pass through a tubing or other restriction in the wellbore. When in the retracted state, the gripping assembly of the anchoring apparatus has an outer diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the tubing. When in the expanded state, the gripping assembly of the anchoring apparatus has an outer diameter than is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the liner to enable engagement of the gripping assembly against the liner.

摘要： A perforating gun includes a guide, a first charge unit, a second charge unit and a linkage. The first and second charge units are coupled to the guide. The second charge unit is capable of being in a collapsed position for passing the second charge unit through a tubing and is capable of being in an expanded position for detonating the second charge unit. The linkage is connected to the second charge unit to communicate an applied force to cause the second charge unit to move the second charge unit along the guide toward the first charge unit when the second charge unit is at least partially in the expanded position.
