    摘要: A method and system for determining properties of a pipe string using multi-channel induction measurements. The method may comprise disposing a multi-channel induction tool in a cased hole, obtaining a multi-channel measurement, forming a log from the multi-channel measurement, extracting at least one abnormality that corresponds to known metal thickness, performing a search to find a set of pipe material properties that minimize a mismatch between the abnormality and a simulated response, and inverting the log to estimate the set of pipe material properties at one or more depth points using the set of pipe material properties. The system may comprise a multi-channel induction tool. The multi-channel induction tool may comprise at least one transmitter, at least one receiver, and an information handling system.

    摘要: A method and system for estimating a thickness of at least one casing string in a cased hole may comprise obtaining a plurality of induction measurements from a plurality of channels using a casing inspection tool, computing a quality vector for the plurality of channels, wherein each element of the quality vector is a numeric output, identifying the plurality of channels is a high-quality or a low-quality based at least in part on an evaluation of the quality vector to obtain a high-quality subset of the plurality of channels and a low-quality subset of the plurality of channels, and estimating the thickness of the at least one casing with an inversion using a high-quality subset of the plurality of channels. A system may comprise a multi-channel induction tool and an information handling system. The multi-channel induction tool may comprise at least one transmitter and at least one receiver.
