    Abstract: A method for calibrating an electromagnetic core analysis tool is disclosed. The method includes disposing a tilted test loop inside of or outside of a tool having more than one antenna. A uniform test pack, a layered test pack, and an effective media test pack are each disposed in the tool. A signal is induced in a receiver antenna in the tool when a second antenna is energized with a known current of a known frequency. The induced signal is measured and a calibration gain and offset is determined. A corrected signal is produced and compared with the determined signal based on a forward model.

    Abstract: A method for correcting formation properties due to effects of a borehole is disclosed. The method includes obtaining voltage measurements using a logging tool disposed in a borehole penetrating a subsurface formation. The method further includes using a processor to: determine a tensor for the formation using the voltage measurement. For a given set of parameters, the processor determines, based upon the voltage measurements, a parameter value for each parameter in a subset of the set of parameters. The method further uses the processor to compute a borehole-inclusive modeled tensor that includes the effects of the borehole using the parameter values, optimize the parameter values using the determined tensor and the borehole-inclusive tensor, compute an optimized tensor using the optimized parameter values, compute a borehole corrected tensor using the optimized tensor, and determine at least one borehole corrected formation property using at least one of the borehole corrected tensor or the optimized parameter values.

    Abstract: The apparatus employs the remote field eddy-current (RFEC) inspection technique to electromagnetically measure physical parameters of a metallic pipe. RFEC devices inserted into and displaced along a cylindrical pipes may be used to measure the ratio of pipe thickness to electromagnetic skin-depth and thus allow for the non-invasive detection of flaws or metal loss. Typically these RFEC thickness measurements exhibit a so-called double-indication of flaws, an undesired artifact due to a double-peaked geometrical sensitivity function of the device.The method describes a means by which this double indication artifact may be removed by an appropriate processing of RFEC measurements performed by an apparatus specifically designed for this purpose. The invention is particularly well designed for applications in the oilfield industry.
