    摘要: A method for communicating data in an offshore data communication system comprises measuring L/MWD data with a sensor disposed in a bottomhole assembly positioned in a subsea borehole. The bottomhole assembly is disposed along a drillstring extending through the subsea borehole. In addition, the method comprises communicating the L/MWD data from the bottomhole assembly to the seafloor with a telemetry signal. Further, the method comprises receiving the telemetry signal with at least one telemetry transducer positioned proximal the sea floor. Still further, the method comprises processing the telemetry signal at the seafloor to produce a processed signal. Moreover, the method comprises transmitting the processed signal from the sea floor to the sea surface.

    摘要: Measurement of petrophysical and geophysical data of formations in a wellbore using a long gauge bit having at least one sensor therewith. The at least one sensor may be installed in at least one flute of the long gauge bit and/or in the long gauge portion thereof. Data for creating images of the formations are obtained at or near the bottom of the borehole and proximate to the long gauge bit used for drilling the borehole. Orientation of the long gauge bit is also available on a real time basis. Magnetic and/or gravitational sensors may be used in determining bit orientation. The flutes of the long gauge bit and the long gauge portion thereof may have standard inserts to accommodate various types of different sensors and electronic packages therefor.

    摘要: Methods and systems for controlling the drilling of a borehole are disclosed. The methods employ the assumption that nonlinear problems can be modeled using linear equations for a local region. Common filters can be used to determine the coefficients for the linear equation. Results from the calculations can be used to modify the drilling path for the borehole. Although the calculation/modification process can be done continuously, it is better to perform the process at discrete intervals along the borehole in order to maximize drilling efficiency.

    摘要: A method for measuring one or more characteristics of an earth formation wherebyenergy is emitted circumferentially about a borehole into the formation, and the amount reflected back is detected during a plurality of sample periods. The samples are grouped into two or more groups by the azimuthal sector in which the sample was collected. Within a group, each sample is mathematically weighted according to the standoff of the detector from the borehole wall when the sample was taken. Within a group, the weighted samples are summed to produce a weighted total amount of energy detected within a sector. The weighted total is then transformed into the one or more characteristics.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining at least one characteristic of a formation is provided which includes storing a plurality of counts received from both a long space radiation detector and a short space radiation detector. The counts are detected during a plurality of short duration time periods which are brief compared to rotary drilling speed. A count rate mean is determined and used to sort each of the plurality of count measurements into one of at least three bins. Count information accumulated in at least one of the bins is used to calculate a corrected density. A short space collimator enhances the count rate of singly scattered gamma rays detected by the short space detector and blocks gamma rays from the formation radially outwardly of the short space detector to improve spine-rib correction characteristics for relatively short standoffs. The method of sorting the plurality of short duration time period measurements improves the accuracy for short standoffs to larger standoffs.
