    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for directional propagation-type logging measurements not sensitive to dip and anisotropy over a wide frequency range. Estimates of the distance of the logging tool to a bed boundary are obtained using “up-down” measurements with antenna configurations having tilted magnetic dipoles. These estimates are insensitive to anistropy and dip, undesirable complications of directional measurements.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for minimizing or eliminating an undesired axial electric current induced along a subsurface borehole in the process of subsurface measurements with transmitter and/or receiver antennas which are substantially time varying magnetic dipoles with their dipole moments aligned at an angle to the axis of the borehole. Some antennas are disposed within the borehole on instruments having a non-conductive support member. One instrument includes a conductive all-metal body with an antenna adapted for induction frequencies. Antenna shields adapted for controlled current flow are also provided with an all-metal instrument. Methods include providing an alternate path for the current along the instrument body. Another method includes emitting a controlled current to counter the undesired current. Another method corrects for the effect of the current using a superposition technique. An embodiment of the instrument includes an antenna disposed between a pair of electrically coupled electrodes. The antenna is disposed on the instrument such that it comprises a tilted or transverse magnetic dipole. Another embodiment of the instrument includes a non-conductive housing with a conductive segment disposed thereon. An antenna is disposed on the instrument about the conductive segment. Another embodiment includes an antenna disposed between two pairs of electrodes with means to measure a voltage at the electrodes when electromagnetic energy is transmitted within the borehole. Yet another instrument includes an antenna disposed between a first pair of electrodes and means to measure a voltage at the electrodes when electromagnetic energy is transmitted within the borehole. This embodiment also includes means to energize a second electrode pair in response to the voltage measured at the first electrode pair.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for making directional measurements of earth formations surrounding a borehole. New antenna coil shield designs are utilized to provide selective attenuation of at least one electromagnetic energy field component as the component interacts with the shield. The new shields are implemented in several downhole tool configurations to provide azimuthally focused formation measurements. In effect, the new shield filters interacting electromagnetic energy field components to pass those components corresponding to a magnetic dipole oriented at an angle from the tool axis. The shields thereby alter a coil's envelope of influence to electromagnetic energy. The new shields also form part of a system for making directional measurements while drilling.
