    摘要: A well logging apparatus and method for measuring the resistivity of the formation surrounding a borehole is disclosed. The invention provides two transmitting antennas arranged around a housing means or drill collar in spaced relation from one another. A transmitting circuit alternately supplies an oscillating drive signal to each transmitting antenna with a sufficiently high frequency such that one and then the other of the transmitting antennas radiates an electromagnetic wave signal which propagates through the formation. Two receiving antennas are located equally spaced between the transmitting antennas to produce pick-up signals from the electromagnetic wave propagating through the formation. Each receiving antenna includes a single turn coil connected in series with a capacitor to provide a reduced impedance circuit to resonate in the frequency region embracing the oscillating drive signal. Receive antenna circuitry responsive to induced alternating current in the coil produces a signal indicative of the formation parameter under study. The method of positioning two series resonant single turn receiving antennas tuned to the oscillating drive frequency and alternately coupling an electrical drive signal to a pair of transmitters spaced equally on each side of the receiving antennas allows receiving signals which are self-cancelling for system induced effects.

    摘要: A logging-while-drilling system is disclosed which includes a pair of receiving antenna disposed between upper and lower transmitting antenna. The upper and lower transmitting antenna are energized successively to generate an electromagnetic wave which propagates through the formation surrounding the borehole. The amplitude attenuation and phase shift of the electromagnetic wave between the receiving antenna is measured. Measurements from both the upper and lower transmitting antenna can be combined to eliminate by cancellation system error components. In order to further improve the performance of the logging-while-drilling system, separate and dedicated driver circuits are provided proximate each transmitter. In addition, reference signals which are utilized to coordinate and synchronize the operation of the various components of the logging-while-drilling system are provided at frequencies which are substantially different from the interrogation frequency of the electromagnetic interrogation signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring formation parameters by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals by antennas disposed in recesses in a tubular housing member and including apparatus for reducing the coupling of electrical noise into the system resulting from conducting elements located adjacent the recesses and housing. More particularly, a method and apparatus employing electrostatic, but not magnetic, shielding of the low impedance antenna systems and inductive signal coupling to enhance the signal at the receiver is disclosed. This system is capable of measuring formation parameters in the presence of conducting bodies, e.g., the drill string, permitting incorporation of the apparatus in a measuring while drilling (MWD) logging system. In a particular embodiment, high frequency electromagnetic energy is used to measure formation resistivity. Small low impedance coils are arranged in the wall or around the outer circumferential surface of a steel drill collar and spaced from the surface a minimum distance to allow efficient propagation and reception. The low impedance receiver antennas are substantially electrostatically, but not magnetically, shielded and include inductive current coupling devices to further improve the signal. In a preferred embodiment, the coils are circularly configured about the collar and longitudinally spaced thereon to serve as transmitting and receiving elements which together with associated circuit components employ high frequency electromagnetic wave propagation techniques to measure formation parameters. The received signals are phase shifted and amplitude attenuated as they pass through the formation, and formation parameters are determined by detecting variations in travel time and attenuation between longitudinally spaced receivers.

    摘要: A high permeability ferrite core, which includes a gap between adjacent ends thereof, is combined with a magnetic coil encircling the core, and is located in a sub positioned in the drill string just above the drill bit of a borehole drilling rig. The core is positioned so that the gap thereof lies across a recess region formed in the outer wall of the sub. Drilling fluids flow along the outer surface of the sub on the return path from the drill bit to the mud pits located at the surface of the borehole. A constant current, or voltage, at a frequency within the range of 20 KHz-20 MHz is applied to the terminals of the coil encircling the core and the eddy currents developed in the gap region produce a measurable back emf at the coil terminals. The current produced by this emf voltage is indicative of the resistivity of the drilling fluid within the recess region in the wall of the sub and the fluctuations of the voltage accurately follow the variations in drilling fluid resistivity.
