    摘要: A method of evaluating a subterranean formation includes conveying a tool along a borehole. The tool includes a transmitter that transmits a drive pulse and a receiver that receives at least one formation response to the drive pulse. The method further includes calculating a signal-to-noise ratio of the at least one formation response and comparing the signal-to-noise ratio to a programmable threshold. The method further includes determining, based on the comparing, an adjusted drive pulse to transmit and transmitting the adjusted drive pulse. The method further includes and receiving at least one formation response to the adjusted drive pulse and deriving formation data from the at least one formation response to the adjusted drive pulse. The method further includes displaying a representation of the formation based on the formation data.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for a nonlinear toolface control system for a rotary steerable drilling tool is disclosed. The method includes determining a desired toolface of a drilling tool, calculating a toolface error by determining a difference between a current toolface and the desired toolface, generating a model to describe the dynamics of the drilling tool, modify the model, based on at least one intermediate variable, to create a modified model, calculating a correction to reduce the toolface error, the correction based on the modified model, transmitting a signal to the drilling tool such that the signal adjusts the current toolface based on the correction, and drilling a wellbore with a drill bit oriented at the desired toolface.

    摘要: Methods control systems for viscosity and density control may include a frequency loop shaping filter for shaping the frequency response in real-time for a multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO) system. For example, a method may include drilling a wellbore while circulating a drilling mud through a viscosity and density control system that includes one of: a mechanical separation system, a dilution system, a chemical additive regulation system, and any combination thereof; applying a frequency loop shaping filter to a desired mud viscosity and a desired mud density to produce control signals: a first control signal for the mechanical separation system, a second control signal for the dilution system, a third control signal for the chemical additive regulation system, and any combination thereof; and applying the control signals to the corresponding systems to alter the drilling mud to have a controlled viscosity value and a controlled density value.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for vibration control for a wellbore logging tool is disclosed. The method may include measuring an initial output signal of the wellbore logging tool. Additionally, the method may include generating a first braking signal based on the initial output signal of the wellbore logging tool. The method may further include transmitting the first braking signal to the wellbore logging tool. The first braking signal may be designed to dampen the vibration of the wellbore logging tool.
