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 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.

An apparatus for imaging a subsurface material traversed by a borehole, the apparatus including an imaging pad deployed by a logging instrument, the pad including a plurality of measuring sets, each measuring set including a first current injector electrode, a second current injector electrode, a pair of sensor electrodes disposed between the first current injector electrode and the second current injector electrode, and an output for coupling to an electronics unit adapted for producing the imaging of the subsurface material.
摘要:
An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium for evaluating an earth formation. A logging tool having a non-conductive mandrel and a conducting sleeve having at least one antenna that are electrically connected is conveyed into a borehole in the earth formation. At least one of the antennae has a coil oriented at a non-zero an angle to a longitudinal axis of the logging tool. The at least one antenna is activated, and an effect of a signal received by a receiver coil on the logging tool due to at least one of (A) an eccentering of the logging tool, and (B) a coil misalignment is reduced.
摘要:
A single-dipole sensor for determining an electrical property of an earth formation, includes a pad consisting essentially of a body and at least one small electrode separated from a large electrode by an insulator; wherein an output of the sensor includes a measurement of an electrical signal through the formation for each small electrode. A method for using the sensor is included, as well as a method for providing images of the earth formation.

A multicomponent induction logging tool uses a nonconducting mandrel with a windowed conducting sleeve. This arrangement reduces effects due to tool eccentering and coil misalignment.
摘要:
Multicomponent measurements made in a cross-bedded earth formation are processed to give one or more equivalent TI models. Resistivity information about the cross-bedding is obtained from one of the TI models and a measured cross-bedding angle. Resistivity information about the cross-bedding may also be obtained using a combination of two or more of the equivalent TI models.
摘要:
A method for making acoustic logging measurements includes grouping received acoustic waveforms into one of a plurality of groups, each group being representative of a measured borehole condition (e.g., a range of measured standoff values and/or a range of measured azimuth angles). The waveforms stored in at least one of the groups are stacked so as to obtain an averaged waveform. The averaged waveform may be further processed, for example, via a semblance algorithm to obtain at least one acoustic wave slowness.
