摘要: Apparatus and methods operable to determine between a wall of a wellbore penetrating in a subterranean formation and a resistivity tool disposed in the wellbore. One such method includes using an apparent impedance function depending on a frequency variable and a plurality of unknown parameters, at least one of the unknown parameters depending on a formation impedance of the subterranean formation. The method also includes applying a voltage, at each of a plurality of frequency values, between electrodes of a resistivity tool that is disposed in the wellbore. The method also includes measuring, across the electrodes, a plurality of apparent impedance values, each corresponding to a different one of the frequency values. The method still further includes determining the unknown parameters based on the frequency values and the apparent impedance values, and estimating the standoff distance based on an expression that includes at least one of the unknown parameters.

摘要: Systems and methods for performing bed boundary detection and azimuthal resistivity logging using a logging tool with a pair of tilted receiver antennas having a midpoint on a longitudinal axis of the logging tool, a first pair of transmitter antennas symmetrically spaced from said midpoint, and a third tilted receiver antenna positioned farther from said midpoint than the transmitter antennas. Method embodiments include energizing each transmitter antenna of the first pair in a firing sequence and obtaining, responsive to the energizing, measurements with a pair of tilted receiver antennas equally spaced from said midpoint. Methods may also include obtaining, responsive to energizing of a more distant one of the first pair of transmitter antennas, measurements with a third tilted receiver antenna positioned farther from the midpoint than the transmitter antennas.

摘要: Systems, methods, and software for detecting boundary locations of multiple subsurface layers are described. In some aspects, the boundaries of multiple subsurface layers in a subterranean region are identified based on measurements associated with multiple different transmitter-receiver spacings. The measurements are generated based on operating multiple transmitters and multiple receivers of a resistivity logging tool at a tool depth in a wellbore in the subterranean region. A first pair of the subsurface boundary locations are determined based on a first measurement associated with a first transmitter-receiver spacing. A second, different pair of the subsurface boundary locations are determined based on a second measurement associated with a second, longer transmitter-receiver spacing. The first pair of subsurface boundary locations reside between the second pair of subsurface boundary locations in the subterranean region.

摘要: A method for determining a dip of a geological structure in a subterranean formation, involves generating, using a 3D resistivity analyzer, a first intermediate result describing the dip of the geological structure based on 3D resistivity data collected from a borehole penetrating the subterranean formation. The method further involves generating, using a borehole image analyzer, a second intermediate result describing the dip of the geological structure based on a borehole image collected from the borehole. The method further involves generating, by a computer processor combining the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result based on a pre-determined criterion, an integrated result describing the dip of the geological structure.

摘要: The disclosure describes enhanced determination of dip and strike/azimuth for real-time MCI data processing in some difficult conditions such as low-dip and low-anisotropy formations using formation properties from surrounding layers. The method is effective for the enhanced determination of dip and azimuth to enhance the inversion accuracy of formation dip and azimuth if the formation anisotropic ratio is low and so reduce the uncertainty of the inverted dip and azimuth.
