    Abstract: Apparatus and methods can be conducted in a multi-pipe structure to determine eccentricity of one or more pipes of the multi-pipe structure. A tool having a center axis as a symmetry axis of the tool can be used in which receivers are arranged as a number of pairs of receivers around the center axis of the tool. Each receiver of a pair can be disposed opposite the other receiver of the pair with respect to the center axis such that each pair is symmetrical with respect to the center axis of the tool. Eccentricity of one or more pipes of the multi-pipe structure can be determined based on the received responses at the receivers of the pairs.

    Abstract: A system comprises a wellbore having a plurality of casings disposed therein and one or more electromagnetic coils disposed within the wellbore. The one or more electromagnetic coils are configured to generate and direct one or more excitation signals toward the plurality of casings and receive one or more response signals based on interactions of the one or more excitation signals with the plurality of casings. The system further comprises a casing evaluation module comprising a processor and memory and communicably coupled to the one or more electromagnetic coils. The casing evaluation module is operable to determine whether defect exists in at least one of the plurality of casings using a first response signal received from the one or more electromagnetic coils and elemental defect information, the elemental defect information comprising a plurality of combinations of small defect information.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to investigate a multiple nested conductive pipe structure can be implemented in a variety of applications. An electromagnetic pulsed tool disposed in the multiple nested conductive pipe structure in a wellbore can make a set of log measurements and provide a measured log at different depths in the multiple nested conductive pipe structure. A test setup or library can provide a set of small defect log measurements. Processing circuitry can process the set of log measurements to generate thickness estimations of the multiple nested conductive pipes and processing circuitry can process the set of small defect log measurements to generate small defect thickness estimations. Processing circuitry can solve a system of equations involving the thickness estimations and the small defect thickness estimations to generate thickness variations for the multiple nested conducted pipes over the different depths. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
