    摘要: A wireline, coiled tubing, and measurement while drilling resistivity tool having three or more receivers is disclosed. This results in a tool capable of gathering substantial resistivity data about a subterranean formation while being drawn quickly past a borehole wall. One embodiment of this resistivity tool includes four receivers and a pair of transmitters, resulting in six resistivity measurements from each firing of a transmitter. The transmitters are arranged to obtain a regularly spaced series of resistivity measurements. The transmitters may be fired at two or more frequencies to result in further information about the formation. Another embodiment of this resistivity tool places its transmitters and receivers to obtain a number of redundant resistivity readings, resulting in error checking and increased reliability. For enhanced performance, transceivers may also be used. An analogous method is also disclosed.

    摘要: A retrievable tool for steering through an earth formation includes a first tool assembly and a tilted antenna attached to the first tool assembly. The tool also includes a second tool assembly attached to the first tool assembly and a tilted antenna attached to the second tool assembly. The first tool assembly attaches to the second tool assembly so that the antennas are tilted in predetermined directions. The tilted antennas are transmitter antennas or receiver antennas. Each tool assembly is a tubular cylinder with a longitudinal axis running the length of the cylinder, wherein the tubular cylinder has two ends, each end including a rotational attachment mechanism. The tool assemblies attach to each other through their rotational attachment mechanisms. The rotational attachment mechanism may be a screw-on mechanism, press-fit mechanism, or welded mechanism.

    摘要: Systems and methods for real time data management in a collaborative environment. In one embodiment, the systems and methods dynamically link stakeholders, through a collaborative environment, to current and updated data. The systems and methods also cross-reference data objects between stakeholders for calling data objects by a common name, and determine a preferred method for each operation related to processing data for a data object.

    摘要: Borehole data presentation systems and methods that facilitate communication of volumetric logging data to a surface processing system for presentation to a driller or other user interested in visualizing the formations surrounding a borehole. The disclosed systems optionally tailor the telemetry stream to match the chosen display technique, thereby maximizing the logging system utility for the driller. Variable opacity of certain data regions or certain data discontinuities greatly facilitates data comprehension, particularly when true three-dimensional display technologies are employed. Holographic or stereoscopic display technologies may be employed to show the three-dimensional dependence of measured formation properties such as resistivity, density, and porosity. Alternatively, the radial axis can be used to represent a formation parameter value, thereby enabling cylindrical cross-plots of multiple measurements. The user can control viewing position and orientation to more fully explore the three dimensional representation.
