摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for evaluating an earth formation includes making measurements with a logging tool having a first depth of investigation in a borehole in the earth formation. A first dip of the formation is estimated using multi-component measurements. The estimated dip is compared with a second dip measurement in the borehole. The results of the comparison are stored on a tangible medium.
摘要:
Measurements made by a multi-component induction logging tool may be corrected for tool eccentricity or the presence of a fracture in the earth formation. The corrected measurements may then be used in conjunction with a multi-array measurement to determine horizontal and vertical formation resistivity.
摘要:
Measurements made by a multi-component induction logging tool are corrected for tool eccentricity in a deviated borehole. The eccentricity angle is determined from single frequency skin-effect corrected data and is then used to correct multifrequency data. Multifrequency focusing is then applied to the corrected multifrequency data. An inversion is then used to recover formation resistivity and relative dip and azimuth of the borehole.

摘要:
Measurements made by multiarray and multicomponent induction resistivity measurements in a borehole are used for determining the orientation and length of fractures in an earth formation when the fractures have a fluid with a resistivity different from that of the earth formation. The apparatus and method may also be used in anisotropic earth formations where the vertical and horizontal resistivities are different.
摘要:
A multicomponent induction logging tool includes a transmitter antenna and two receiver antennas, one of which is aligned parallel to the transmitter. Using measurements made at a plurality of rotational angles, a misalignment angle between the transmitter antenna and the second receiver antenna is estimated.
摘要:
Measurements are made with a multicomponent logging tool in an earth formation. The measurements are inverted without using a selected cross-component measurement. The model is then used to predict the value of the selected cross-component. A misalignment angle of the tool is estimated from the predicted and actual values of the selected cross-component.
摘要:
A misalignment angle between the transmitter and receiver antenna of a multicomponent induction logging tool are estimated from quadrature component signals at multiple frequencies. A transmitter antenna having a first axial direction on a logging tool is excited at a plurality of frequencies. Signals responsive to the excitation are received at a receiver antenna having a second axial direction. A direct field between the transmitter antenna and the receiver antenna is obtained by performing multi-frequency focusing of the received signals. The misalignment angle is estimated from the direct field.
