    摘要: A coil array which is installed on a MWD drill collar for use in a resistivity logging system. The drill collar is provided with upper and lower coil support rings. These are toroids which support individual coil segments, and are connected by suitable magnetic shorting bars. The coil segments and shorting bars inscribe a specified solid angle or azimuthal extent. By connecting the outputs of the several coils through a combining circuit, the coils on a single coil form can be connected in series additive, or subtractive relationship. Through the use of two such coil forms with aligned coils on each, an azimuthally oriented window is thereby defined. By proper switching multiple azimuthally oriented windows can be made operative so that there is an azimuthal orientation to the current flow pattern relative to the MWD resistivity logging tool.

    摘要: A logging apparatus for measurement of earth formation resistivity is disclosed. The apparatus includes an elongated sonde having an insulated section and an electrically isolated conductive pad mounted for lateral extension into contact with a borehole wall. The electrically isolated conductive pad includes a plurality of current electrodes disposed longitudinally along the pad and a return electrode disposed on the reverse face thereof. A focussing section is utilized to provide varying depths of investigation by electrode current to preferably permit measurement of earth formation resistivity in the mudcake, flush zone, and uninvaded formation. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conductive pad includes a pair of hingeably mounted sections which permit the apparatus to accommodate varying radii of curvature of boreholes.

    摘要: The present system is directed to an improved dipmeter system including plural sensors on isolated pads around a sonde. An independent output is formed from each of the sensor pads, and each output is provided to its own adjustable high pass filter. The several high pass filters delete low frequency constituents in the sensor signals. Then, the signals are provided to a dipmeter computer to determine depth with greater accuracy. As a variation, the high pass filters can be selectively adjusted to provide an adjustable frequency for the filters, and one version utilizes the derivative of the dipmeter signal as a function of velocity or time.

    摘要: In an MWD system, a mandrel for connection to the drill bit is set forth which supports shallow, intermediate and deep measuring resistivity systems. By transmitting upwardly and downwardly in alternate fashion, and receiving the transmitted signal at pairs of receiver coils, transmitted signal phase shift and attenuation are measured. A method of measuring is set forth which includes making resistivity measurements close to the drill bit at increasing ranges from the borehole so that formation resistivity prior to fluid invasion is obtained. Measurements are thus provided of formation resistivity before, during and after fluid invasion. The method also accommodates formations which have a relative dip angle with respect to the well borehole.

    摘要: Disclosed systems and methods provide automated log quality monitoring, thereby enabling fast, on-site determination of log quality by logging engineers as well as re-assurance to interpreters faced with geologically-improbable features in the logs. Such uses can provide early detection of logging issues, increase confidence in acquired logs, reduce unnecessary duplication of effort, and improve the reputation of the logging company. In at least some embodiments, log monitoring software applies a comparison function to axially-spaced (and/or azimuthally-spaced) sensors. The comparison function can be, inter alia, cross-correlation, mutual information, mean-square error, and ratio image uniformity, each of which can be determined as a function of a sliding window position to indicate regions wherein the log quality falls below a threshold value. It is not necessary for the log sensors to be of the same type, e.g., resistivity image sensors.

    摘要: In a resistivity log, a curve is obtained showing the values of resistivity where adjacent beds impact the measured resistivity. The curve as a function of well depth is first converted into a rectangularized curve so that the interfaces of the adjacent strata are located, and by a suitable number of iterations, a correction factor is applied. The corrected rectangular log is obtained with a correction coefficient computed at each depth. For each computation, the impact of all the strata within a specified depth window is considered, while strata beyond that window are simplified by representing the strata beyond the window with single equivalent bed values to reduce the number of computations required. This then provides a resistivity log which is substantially free of shoulder bed effect.

    摘要: A disclosed downhole optical imaging tool includes a light source and a camera enclosed within a tool body having at least two sidewall windows. A first window transmits light from the light source to a target region in the borehole, while a second window passes reflected light from the target region to the internal camera. The target region is spaced along the borehole away from the second window in a direction opposite the first window. In some embodiments, this configuration is provided by angling the first and second windows with respect to the sidewall, or by shaping the windows to cast and receive light from a “forward” direction. Some tool embodiments include motion and/or orientation sensors that are employed by a processor to combine separately captured images into a panoramic borehole image. It can be employed during drilling operations employing air or a substantially transparent liquid as a drilling fluid.
