    摘要: Well logging method and logging tool for measuring cement density and thickness at different azimuth angles for a cemented, cased well. The method uses a gamma source, a short-spaced detector, a long-spaced detector, and preferably a backscatter detector, where the detector-to-source spacings are designed for calculating (93) thickness and density of the cement annulus (94) from the detector count rates (91).

    摘要: Method for evaluating cement integrity in a cased well environment using a logging tool that has a neutron source and one or more neutron or gamma ray detectors. Neutron porosity logs are obtained from the well before (42) and after (41) casing. This log data along with well dimensions and material composition parameters are the input quantities to a multi-parameter database (43) that is constructed by computer modeling or laboratory experiments to relate volume fraction for fluid filled channels in the cement sheath to the input quantities. The channel volume fraction (45) corresponding to the input quantities is identified or interpolated (44) from the multi-parameter database.

    摘要: Systems and methods which provide accurate formation information regardless of formation and borehole geometry, including those associated with high angle and horizontal wells, are shown. In providing processing of logging or image data, such as may be provided by a density tool or other tool, according to embodiments, formation attributes or features (e.g., density and dip angle) are estimated using raw data provided by a the tool. The foregoing estimations may thereafter be iteratively refined using effective volume of interest (EVOI) information. According to embodiments, depth boundaries of formation information provided by the tool are shifted as a function of azimuth for correct spatial positioning of formation features using EVOI information. Processing of formation attribute or feature data provided by embodiments may be used with respect to various tool configurations, including configurations with and without borehole standoff.

    摘要: Method for evaluating cement quality in a cased well. A density log of the well is obtained using, for example, a GammaRay sources and detectors (51). The detector count rates are inverted to provide initial estimates of cement density and thickness (53). Acoustic waveform data are obtained from the well using an acoustic logging tool (52). The acoustic data are inverted (54-56), using the initial estimates of cement density and thickness obtained from the density logs, and an updated density log is inferred. Cement images are obtained from the updated density log, and cement bond quality can be estimated (57).
