    Abstract: A method and apparatus which describe a technique for measuring formation porosity in a formation adjacent to a wellbore. A sonde is lowered to a desired depth in a well adjacent to a formation of interest. The sonde includes magentic poles which form lines of flux in the formation. Intermediate of the magnetic poles is a current electrode. A return path for the current electrode is completed preferably at the surface. The current flow path in the formation from the current electrode is approximately perpendicular to the magnetic flux lines. The two fields impinge on fluids located in the interstices of the formation, creating localized pressure which is relieved by fluid flow in the formation. The fluid flow is accompanied by noise created by the fluid interacting with the formation which defines many serpentine and erratic flow paths. The noise is heard by a wide band acoustic listening device. The noise is related to a permeability of the formation.

    Abstract: Apparatus at two different time intervals in each cycle of operation induces electrical polarization of an earth formation in a manner that each polarization is in an opposite direction to the polarization preceding and succeeding it. A measuring circuit controlled by timing logic measures the induced electrical potential at two different locations during two other time intervals in each cycle of operation. A difference amplifier provides a potential difference signal in accordance with the measured potentials. During one of the two measuring time intervals of each cycle, the difference signal is inverted. The signal which is not inverted and the inverted difference signal are integrated to provide an output to recording means to record the measured decay potentional difference.

The method of subjecting the earth formation to an alternating magnetic field to induce therein a field which depends on the magnetic susceptibility of the formation, detecting the induced magnetic field by permitting it to act on a receiver element to induce therein a first signal which depends on the magnetic susceptibility of the formation, generating a reference second signal representing the susceptibility of a reference medium, and generating a third signal corresponding the difference between the first and second signal whereby the third signal represents the magnetic susceptibility of the formation with respect to the magnetic susceptibility of the reference medium.

    Abstract: Magnetic susceptibility bore hole logging method for distinguishing ferromagnetic materials from the paramagnetic materials. It involves logging the bore hole with and without a unidirectional magnetic field being applied to the formations being logged. The differences between these logs indicate ferromagnetic materials if the field strength is sufficient to cause saturation. Apparatus employs a permanent magnet or an electromagnet for creating the saturating field.

    Abstract: A BOREHOLE LOGGING TOOL THAT INCLUDES AIR CORE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER COILS PLUS AUXILIARY AIR CORE NULLING COILS. A COMPENSATED MAGNETIC INDUCTION CIRCUIT IS EMPLOYED FOR NULLING A MAJOR PORTION OF THE RECEIVER COIL SIGNALS, IN ORDER THAT THE CHANGES CAUSED BY MAGNETIC PROPERTY CHANGE IN THE SURROUNDING BOREHOLE, MAY BE READILY DETECTED. THE AUXILIARY NULLING COILS ARE PANCAKE SHAPED AND ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE FIELDS OF THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER COILS. BUT THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE LOGGING TOOL SO THAT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME AMBIENT CONDITIONS AS ARE THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER COILS.

    Abstract: A permeability logging tool adapted to be lowered to selected elevations in a well bore wherein fluids in any pore spaces in the formation adjacent to the well bore are excited by means of high peak amplitude acoustic pulses of short duration which form compressive and rarefaction wave fronts in the formation, thereby altering localized formation fluid pressure and creating a flow path from a point of high pressure to a point of relatively low pressure. A pair of sonic transceivers used as measuring transducers are also included on the tool. Acoustic signals are transmitted to and fro between these transducers. The change in signal transmission time between the transceivers due to fluid flow rate established by the electrical excitation is measured. The shift in transmission time between the measuring transducers is thus proportionate to the rate of fluid flow in the formation. This shift in time is thus fuctionally related to the permeability of the formation matrix material.

    Abstract: Comparative measurements of thermal neutron decay time are obtained for a formation after irradiation with a pulsed neutron source. Chloride ions in formation fluids are concentrated by the electrosmosis effect using charged poles on a well logging sonde. The formation is irradiated with fast neutrons and a first comparative measure of the thermal neutron decay time or neutron lifetime is taken. The chloride ions are then disbursed by acoustic pumping with a magnetostrictive transducer. The formation is then again irradiated with fast neutrons and a comparative measure of neutron lifetime is taken. The comparison is a function of the variation in chloride concentration between the two measurements which is related to formation permeability.
