    摘要: A method for obtaining geological heterogeneity trends of a geological formation, including the steps: drilling wells (w1, w2, w3, w4, w5) that penetrate the formation, acquiring well logs (log 1, log 2) for each well (w1, w2, w3, w4, w5) as function of depth inter Vals (Dk) of the respective well, determining a third degree tensor (Tk, m, n), where a z-dimension denotes the depths, a x-dimension denotes the well logs, and a y-dimension denotes the wells, extracting matrices (L1k,m, L2k,m, . . . , LMk,n) from the tensor (Tk, m, n), clustering the matrices (L1k,n, L2k,n, . . . , LMk,n) based on the characteristics of the corresponding well logs (log 1, log 2) to a clustering result matrix, aggregating the clustering result matrix to a cluster ensemble (π1, π2, . . . , πM), and spatial partitioning the cluster ensemble (π1, π2, . . . , πM) to a map that shows the geological heterogeneity trends associated with cluster types of the wells (w1, w2, w3, w4, w5).

    摘要: A system for drilling a well may be adapted to process signals received from a fiber optic cable located in the casing of a previously drilled well or wells. The fiber optic cable may act as a distributed sensor receiving acoustic signals generated during the drilling of the well, and the system may be programmed to process the signals from the fiber optic cable to locate the borehole of the well being drilled, including its location relative to the previously drilled well or well. The system may be used to automatically update a well plan for the well being drilled responsive to information about the location of the borehole and also may be used to automatically adjust one or more drilling parameters or drilling operations responsive to the location of the second well borehole.

    摘要: A sub-bottom geophysical imaging apparatus includes a carriage assembly having at least one acoustic transmitter, and at least one acoustic receiver proximate the transmitter. A position determining transponder is mounted on the carriage. A plurality of position transponders is disposed at spaced apart positions to communicate with the transponder mounted on the carriage. A pair of tracks is provided for moving the carriage to selected positions above the bottom. Electrodes are provided for a resistivity sensor and a shear acoustic transmitter and receiver disposed in at least one of the pair of tracks. A signal processing unit is configured to coherently stack and beam steer signals detected by the line array, the electrodes and the shear transmitter and receiver. The signal processing unit is configured to record signals detected by the line array of acoustic receivers, the electrodes and the shear acoustic transmitter and receiver.
