    摘要: A method and system for determining a geometry of a borehole includes forming an nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) caliper with a plurality of coils and coupling the NMR caliper to a borehole assembly. The NMR caliper may be calibrated for porosity and the T2 of the drilling mud, prior to drilling, at the surface. After drilling commences, scans of the borehole may be conducted with each coil of the NMR caliper. Each scan may include propagating RF energy across a range of frequencies with each coil in order to excite a NMR signal at varying depths. Borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing a plurality of T2 distributions from CPMG measurements derived from the scans. In some embodiments, borehole wall distances from the NMR caliper may be determined by reviewing porosity values derived from the scans.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided that enable logging while drilling NMR measurements to be made with a tool having magnets with positions adjustable or movable relative to each other. Such movement can affect the depth of investigation of the NMR tool. A variety of moving assemblies can be used to effectuate the movement, which can be performed either at the surface or downhole. The tool also can include a magnetically permeable member to control the magnetic field gradient.

    摘要: A tool for detecting a structure in a well includes a receiver coil having a first winding and a second winding, a first circuit to apply an input signal to the second winding, and a detection circuit to detect a response of the first winding to the input signal applied to the second winding. The response of the first winding indicates presence of the structure in the well if the receiver coil is positioned proximate the structure. The depths (or locations) of these structures are used to avoid placing receivers near these structures for EM induction surveys, such as cross-well, surface-to-wellbore, or single-wellbore induction loggings with receivers in metallic casing.
