Abstract:
Methods and systems pertaining to a processing system and a downhole logging tool for investigating nested tubulars in a borehole. The downhole logging tool includes a transmitter coil for emitting a broadband excitation signal including one or more step excitations. The downhole logging tool also includes receiver coils including at least two receiver coils spaced apart from the transmitter coil at respective first and second distances from the transmitter, the first and second distances being distinct from each other, and each receiver coil being able to receive a response signal resulting from the excitation signal. The downhole logging tool also includes an acquisition system for recording the excitation signal and the response signal of each receiver coil over time. The processing system derives information indicative of variations in individual thicknesses of the nested casing tubulars based on variations of the response signals over time.

Abstract:
A method for determining a fracture aperture of a fracture aperture in a wellbore comprises measuring a resistivity of the wellbore with a downhole tool in a wellbore for obtaining an image of the wellbore. Based on the image, the method detects fractures in the wellbore, and calculates a fracture aperture of the detected fracture according to a predetermined model of the wellbore set up based on hypothesis relative to the configuration of the wellbore. Then, the method estimates a correction to the predetermined model when at least one of the hypothesis is not met, and determines an uncertainty range for the fracture aperture also using a measured parameter.
