摘要： An electromagnetic well logging instrument is disclosed which includes at least one transmitter antenna oriented to have at least some magnetic dipole moment component transverse to an axis of the instrument. The instrument includes at least two receiver antennas oriented to have at least some magnetic dipole moment component transverse to the axis and parallel to the magnetic dipole moment component of the at least one transmitter antenna. The at least two receiver antennas are axially spaced apart from the transmitter antenna so that a response of the instrument to the transverse magnetic dipole moment component is axially substantially on one side of a more distant spaced one of the at least two receiver antennas.

摘要： An apparatus for communication with a downhole tool includes uphole and downhole equipment. The uphole equipment includes a signal source (or array) coupled to a programmable triggering system and a precision clock. Optionally, the uphole equipment may include receivers for capturing reference signals near the source and may include telemetry equipment for receiving MWD signals from the downhole equipment. The downhole equipment includes one or more receivers, signal processing equipment, memory, and a precision clock. Optionally, the downhole equipment also includes MWD telemetry equipment for transmitting data to the surface. The methods of the invention include, but are not limited to, synchronizing the recordation of signals detected downhole with the firing of the signal source and processing the recorded signals to eliminate useless information. The methods of the invention present several techniques for true source signal recognition whereby actual signal information is extracted from the recordings of the receivers so that the ultimate stored data is compact and virtually 100% useful. This elimination of useless data conserves valuable telemetry time and/or enables longer operation of the apparatus before tripping out to retrieve stored data by using memory efficiently.

摘要： There are many natural pauses during rotary drilling operations where a portion of the drill string remains stationary. Pauses include drill pipe connections, circulating time, and fishing operations. These pauses are used to obtain formation evaluation measurements that take a long time or that benefit from a quiet environment, as opposed to the naturally noisy drilling environment. Various techniques that are sensitive to the mud flow, weight-on-bit, or motion of the drill string may be used alone or in combination to identify the drilling mode and control the data acquisition sequence.

摘要： A method for water monitoring about a deviated well is disclosed. The method includes positioning a series of electromagnetic (EM) receivers in a completed deviated wellbore, said receivers being spaced along substantially the length of the well located in a region of a reservoir to be monitored. The method also includes positioning an electromagnetic (EM) source at a first Earth surface location. Then the EM source is activated for a first survey measurement of the reservoir, and an EM field detected at each EM receiver is recorded. The EM source is moved to a second Earth surface location, and activated for a second survey measurement of the reservoir, and an EM field detected at each EM receiver is recorded. From the first and second survey measurements at each of the receivers, an inversion is performed to determine position of water about (and specifically below) the horizontal well.

摘要： A drill string is disposed in the borehole having a BHA and a drill bit advancing the borehole. Among other BHA components, including a telemetry unit and a data acquisition unit, in a surface-to-borehole configuration a receiver (or receiver array) is positioned immediately proximate the drill bit in the borehole, while a source (or source array) is positioned at the Earth's surface. Alternatively, in a borehole-to-surface configuration the source may be positioned immediately proximate the drill bit in the borehole while a receiver (or receiver array) is positioned at the surface. The surface-to-borehole, or borehole-to-surface, system enables an electromagnetic look about while drilling operations are underway.

摘要： A method is disclosed for determining a position of a wellbore with respect to layer boundaries in earth formations. The method includes projecting a trajectory of the wellbore onto an initial model of the earth formations, selecting a segment of the trajectory and calculating along the segment expected responses of a well logging instrument. Differences between the expected responses and responses measured by the instrument along the segment are determined. The model is adjusted, the expected responses are recalculated and the differences are again determined. These are repeated until the differences fall below a selected threshold. In one embodiment, the trajectory of the wellbore can be adjusted to remain within a selected distance of a selected one of the layer boundaries.

摘要： Parametric inversion is used to advantage in a technique and apparatus for borehole logging to determine properties of anisotropic formations, and a dispersion function that varies with frequency is used in the modeling of the formations. An embodiment of the method includes the following steps: providing a logging device that is moveable through the borehole; exciting a sonic source at a transmitter location on the logging device to establish flexural waves in the surrounding formations; measuring at each of a plurality of receiver locations on the logging device, which are spaced at a respective plurality of distances from the transmitter location, orthogonal wave components of split flexural waves that have travelled through the formations; computing, for each of the plurality of distances and for multiple frequencies, model orthogonal wave components which would result from the superposition of model split-flexural waves having selected wave parameters including respective fast and slow model slownesses which are variable functions of frequency and model polarizations; determining an error value which depends on the differences, at each of the plurality of receiver locations, between measured wave components and the model composite waves; modifying the model parameters; iteratively repeating the computing, determining, and modifying steps to reduce the error; and storing the ultimately modified model parameters as being indicative of properties of the formations.
