A well measurement system for decoupling a component signal may comprise a logging tool. The logging tool may comprise a first sub assembly and a conveyance attached to the logging tool. In examples the first sub assembly is a compact sub assembly comprising a deep transmitter, a shallow dual transmitter, a shallow dual-collocated receiver, and a deep receiver.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a ferrite for use in a resistivity logging tool includes providing an uncured ferrite material, and pressing the uncured ferrite material into a channel to form the ferrite. The channel is defined on a surface of a bobbin associated with the resistivity logging tool, and the channel can be arcuate and extend at an angle offset from a central axis of the bobbin. The uncured ferrite material is then cured in place within the channels on the bobbin.

    摘要: A method of processing data from an electromagnetic resistivity logging tool which includes a transmitter coil and a receiver coil is disclosed. The electromagnetic resistivity logging tool is placed at a desired location. The transmitter coil and the receiver coil are positioned at a first azimuthal angle. A signal is transmitted from the receiver coil. The receiver coil then receives a signal. The signal at the receiver coil, a tilt angle of the transmitter coil, a tilt angle of the receiver coil and the first azimuthal angle are then used to calculate a first complex voltage representing at least one component of the received signal.

    摘要: According to aspects of the present disclosure, systems and methods for measuring fluid resistivity are described herein. An example system may include a non-conductive tube. The non-conductive tube may be filled with a fluid, such as a formation fluid or drilling fluid, whose resistivity needs to be determined. A transmitter may be disposed around an outer surface of the non-conductive tube. A first receiver may be disposed around the outer surface of the non-conductive tube, and a second receiver may be positioned within a bore of the non-conductive tube. The transmitter may generate a primary electromagnetic field in a fluid within the tube, which may in turn generate an eddy current and a secondary electromagnetic field. The first and second receivers may be used to identify the eddy current and the resistivity of the fluid.

    摘要: Methods and systems for characterizing a formation are disclosed. A tool is placed in the formation. The tool comprises a perpendicular antenna set and a parallel antenna set. The perpendicular antenna set comprises at least one transmitter antenna oriented perpendicular to at least one receiver antenna and the parallel antenna set comprises at least one transmitter antenna oriented parallel to at least one receiver antenna. Data is obtained from the tool and used to determine a compensated geosignal for each of the perpendicular antenna set and the parallel antenna set. The determined compensated geosignal is used to characterize the formation.

    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: This disclosure presents an apparatus and system for lowering the cost of implementing a downhole sensor system using attachable collars. In some aspects, the attachable collar includes a transmitter component, while supporting electronics are included with a main collar, thereby reducing the cost of the attachable collar. The supporting electronics can send a transmission signal, a control signal, a synchronization clock signal, a selected transmission frequency, a sensor orientation and selection, and other instructions to the transmitter in the attachable collar. The receiver in the main collar can receive the output, as reflected by the subterranean formation, and transform the output to subterranean formation evaluation measurements. The measurements can be communicated to other systems. In some aspects, the attachable collar can include the receiver and the main collar can include the transmitter. In some aspects, additional attachable collars can be included on the drill string to increase the transmitter-receiver spacing.

    摘要: A logging tool includes a mandrel having an axis, a bobbin positioned about the circumference of the mandrel, and defining a first cross slot at a first slot angle and a second cross slot at a second slot angle opposite the first slot angle. The first and second cross slots intersect each other. The tool includes a first antenna in the first slot and including a first plurality of windings wrapped about the mandrel, a second antenna co-located with the first antenna and in the second slot, and an antenna shield secured to the tool mandrel and in each of the first and second slots. The first antenna is arranged in a first orientation and at a first winding angle. The second antenna is arranged in a second orientation and at a second winding angle.
