Abstract: Methods and systems of measuring acoustic signals via a borehole wall are disclosed. One or more non-contact magneto-dynamic sensors are configured or designed for deployment at at least one depth in a borehole. The magneto-dynamic sensor comprises a coil excited by an electric current and a circuitry for outputting a signal corresponding to a time-varying impedance of the coil. A processor is configured to perform signal processing for deriving at least one of a magnitude or a frequency of vibration of the borehole wall based on the output signal from the circuitry.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for identifying drilling cuttings downhole by extracting an echo from a pulse-echo waveform acquired utilizing a downhole ultrasonic tool having an acoustic device. An energy before echo profile preceding the extracted echo is determined, and then the energy before echo profile is processed to remove effects associated with the acoustic device. A cutting is then identified from the processed energy before echo profile.

The straddle packer can include a tubular body comprising a first bore and a second bore and a first sealing element configured to seal against an inner surface of a casing installed within the wellbore. A second sealing element configured to seal against the inner surface of the casing, and the second bore can be located between the first sealing element and the second sealing element. An obstruction disposed in association with the tubular body, wherein the obstruction is movable between a first position in which the obstruction opens the second bore and a second position in which the obstruction closes the second bore.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to measure a formation feature. An example apparatus includes a pre-processor to compare a first measurement obtained from a first sensor included in a logging tool at a first depth at a first time and a second measurement obtained from a second sensor included in the logging tool at the first depth at a second time. The example apparatus also include a semblance calculator to: calculate a correction factor based on a difference between the first measurement and the second measurement; and calculate a third measurement based on the correction factor and a fourth measurement obtained from the first sensor at a second depth at the second time. The example apparatus also includes a report generator to generate a report including the third measurement.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and system for downhole processing of data, such as images, including using a set of downhole sensors to measure parameters relative to the borehole at a plurality of depths and azimuths and detecting predetermined features of the borehole, using a downhole processor, with a trained machine-learning model and extracting characterization data, characterizing the shape and position of the predetermined features that are transmitted to the surface. It also provides a method and system for providing an image of a geological formation at the surface including transmitting a first dataset to the surface that will be used for reconstructing an image at the surface, downhole processing of a second dataset to detect predetermined features and extract characterization data that are transmitted at the surface and displaying a combined image comprising the predetermined features overlaid on the first image.

Abstract: Methods for correcting eccentering effects on echoes detected from ultrasonic pulses emitted by a transducer of a downhole tool. Echo envelope amplitude, azimuth, and location for each echo is utilized to assess echo amplitude sensitivity to geometric and spatial characteristics of the downhole tool within the wellbore. Echo envelope amplitudes are corrected for eccentering effects based on the assessed sensitivity. A visual representation of the corrected echo envelope amplitudes is the generated. Also disclosed herein are tangible, non-transient, computer-readable media comprising instructions executable by a processor to carry out the methods, as well as systems including downhole tools and processing devices operable to carry out the methods.

Abstract: A downhole tool for real-time caliper measurements is provided. The downhole tool comprises multiple acoustic transducers mounted at different positions of the tool, and a control system. The control system drives the multiple transducers, receives pressure echo signals from the transducers, records the pressure echo signals in the memory, extracts data of two-way transit time and echo amplitude from the echo signals, and computes at least one of a borehole diameter, a tool center position, and an acoustic slowness or velocity of downhole fluid, based on the data of transit time and echo amplitude.

Abstract: A technique facilitates monitoring of acoustic signals to measure a velocity vector of a borehole. Acoustic sensors are arranged in a desired acoustic sensor array and positioned along a body of a tool, e.g. a sonic logging tool. The acoustic sensor array is then positioned in fluid along a wall of a borehole formed in a subterranean formation. The acoustic sensors are used to collect acoustic signal data while the acoustic sensors are maintained in a non-contact position with respect to the wall of the borehole. The data may be processed to determine the desired velocity vector.
