    摘要: The disclosure addresses multiple embodiments of an acoustic isolator, and an acoustic logging tool which incorporates the acoustic isolator. The acoustic isolator is configured to minimize acoustic transmissions which could otherwise adversely affect acoustical measurements being made by an acoustic receiver. The described acoustic isolators include a plurality of longitudinally arranged mass members coupled to a central supporting structure, in a configuration to reduce acoustic transmissions in at least selected frequency ranges.

    摘要: A method for analyzing a subterranean formation porosity is disclosed. The apparent dielectric constant of the subterranean formation and an apparent resistivity of the subterranean formation are measured. The measured values are used to determine a measured formation loss tangent. The formation water loss tangent can be expressed by the water dielectric constant and the water resistivity. The measured formation loss tangent and the formation water loss tangent are then used to determine at least one of an actual dielectric constant of the subterranean formation water and an actual resistivity of the subterranean formation water. The actual formation porosity may be obtained using the estimated water resistivity and water dielectric constant.

    摘要: A disclosed high-purity dipole transmitter has a longitudinal axis, an oscillation axis, and a side axis, each of the axes being mutually orthogonal. The transmitter includes an outer shell having external surfaces for displacing fluid along the oscillation axis. The transmitter also includes a reaction mass positioned inside the outer shell. The transmitter also includes an electromagnetic actuator that drives the outer shell relative to the reaction mass. The transmitter also includes a pair of matching springs separated along the longitudinal axis, where each spring is coupled between the outer shell and the reaction mass to enable compliant dipole motion of the outer shell along the oscillation axis while suppressing motion along other axes. Each spring includes a beam arrangement with each beam extending lengthwise in a direction parallel to the side axis and being thinnest in a direction parallel to the oscillation axis. The outer shell, the reaction mass, the electromagnetic actuator, and each spring, have mirror symmetry in a plane that includes the oscillation axis and the longitudinal axis, and have mirror symmetry in a plane that includes the side axis and the longitudinal axis.
