    摘要: An imaging device included in an assembly located in a wellbore during drilling operations may include a cylindrical housing that extends along a central axis thereof. The imaging device may include at least one gradient coil configured to produce a unique magnetic field weaker than a main magnetic field. The at least one gradient coil may create a variable field that is increased or decreased by changing a direction of the unique magnetic field with respect to a direction of the main magnetic field to allow a specific part of a rock formation to be scanned by altering and adjusting the main magnetic field. The imaging device may include at least one radio frequency coil configured to transmit radio frequency waves into the rock formation. The imaging device may include at least one magnet disposed in the cylindrical housing that resonates against the unique magnetic field.

    摘要: A system and a method for evaluating a subterranean earth formation include a logging tool locatable in a wellbore dispose in the formation. The logging tool may include a transmitter antenna and a single receiver antenna. The transmitter antenna is configured to transmit a first electromagnetic signal into the subterranean earth formation. The system further includes a processor and a non-transitory memory device. The memory device includes instructions that cause the processor to control a current and a voltage sourced to the transmitter antenna, receive, via the single receiver antenna, a second electromagnetic signal emitted by the subterranean earth formation in response to receiving the first electromagnetic signal, and determine a resistivity of the subterranean earth formation based on the second electromagnetic signal.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes various antenna assemblies, each antenna coil being disposed about a tool body section in an antenna pathway. The antenna pathway passes through alternating grooves and lands. In each embodiment, at least one of the grooves is disposed in the tool body section at a non-axial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the tool body section. In an embodiment, the antenna coil is an axial coil or a tilted coil. Additional grooves oriented at axial direction may be disposed on the tool body section. Each of the antenna assemblies disclosed may be employed in an electromagnetic logging tool for providing directional measurements while drilling.

    摘要: Determining distance and direction from a first borehole to a second borehole including generating a time-varying magnetic field by axially reciprocating magnets of opposed polarity, at a first location in a second borehole, and detectable in the region of the first borehole. First and second sensors positioned at an observation point in the first borehole measure the amplitude and relative phase of components of the magnetic field. From these measurements, the direction, relative to the sensors, from an observation point to the first location is determined. The distance between these points is determined by measuring amplitude variations with depth of the magnetic field at observation points in the first borehole and computing theoretical variations in the amplitude for different assumed distances between the observation points and the location of the magnetic field source which are compared with theoretical variations to determine the distance between the first and second boreholes.
