    摘要: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for determining normalized apparent power. Drilling acoustic signals corresponding to a time domain and generated during drilling of a well. A fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is performed using the drilling acoustic signals to generate FFT data. Normalized FFT data is generated using normalization parameters and a drill string rotation rate record of a drill string used to drill the well. The drill string rotation rate is received during drilling. Normalized apparent power is determined from data points of a predetermined top percentage of the normalized FFT data within a lithological significant frequency range. The normalized apparent power is a measure of the power of the drilling acoustic signals and it is a function of the amplitude and frequency of the normalized FFT data. The lithological significant frequency range is a frequency range within which the drill sounds are more closely related with lithology.

    摘要: A logging tool for performing well logging activities in a geologic formation has one or more transmitters, one or more receivers, and a tool wave propagating factor which differs from a formation wave propagating factor. The one or more transmitters excite a tool wave and formation wave. The tool wave is reduced by the one or more transmitters transmitting an acoustic wave which causes the tool wave to be reduced. Additionally, or alternatively, the tool wave is reduced by generating an inverse estimate of the tool wave based on waveform data associated with the tool wave and formation wave received by each of the one or more receivers.

    摘要: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for correcting logging depth of a well bore. A process of the disclosed technology can include receiving a first sensor measurement from a first sensor disposed in a wellbore, receiving a second sensor measurement from a second sensor disposed in the wellbore, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are disposed on a wireline with a predetermined distance between the first sensor and the second sensor, generating a correlation function based on the first sensor measurement and the second measurement, and determining, based on the correlation function, whether the measurements indicate a perceived distance between the first sensor and the second sensor deviating from the predetermined distance.

    摘要: A method includes acquiring data associated with a field operation of equipment in a geologic environment; filtering the data using a filter where the filter includes, along a dimension, a single maximum positive value that decreases to a single minimum negative value that increases to approximately zero; and, based on the filtering, issuing a control signal to the equipment in the geologic environment.

    摘要: Methods and systems for characterizing fractures in a subterranean formation are provided. The method includes introducing an encapsulated explosive unit into a casing located in a wellbore within the subterranean formation and maintaining the encapsulated explosive unit in a stage of the casing. The method also includes detonating the encapsulated explosive unit within the stage to generate a pressure wave that passes through a group of perforations and into the fractures and measuring a reflected pressure wave using a pressure sensor coupled to the bridge plug to produce a pressure measurement. The method further includes converting the pressure measurement into an acoustic signal correlated with the pressure measurement by an acoustic signal generator contained in the bridge plug and transmitting the acoustic signal to apply acoustic pressure on a fiber optic cable coupled to an exterior surface of the casing.
