    摘要: A transverse induction logging tool having a transmitter and receiver for downhole sampling of formation properties, the tool having a symmetrical shielded split-coil transmitter coil and a bucking coil interposed between the split transmitter coils to reduce coupling of the transmitter time varying magnetic field into the receiver. The tool provides symmetrical shielding of the coils and grounding at either the transmitter or receiver end only to reduce coupling of induced currents into the received signal. The tool provides an insulator between receiver electronics and the conductive receiver housing having contact with conductive wellbore fluid, to reduce parasitic current flowing in a loop formed by the upper housing, feed through pipe, lower housing and wellbore fluid adjacent the probe housing or mandrel. An internal verification loop is provided to track changes in transmitter current in the real and quadrature component of the received data signal. A galvanic electrode is housed in the same mandrel with the induction logging receiver and transmitter.

    摘要: The distribution of shales, sands and water in a reservoir including laminated shaly sands using vertical and horizontal conductivities is derived from nuclear, NMR, and multi-component induction data. The multicomponent data are inverted and an estimate of the laminated shale volume from this inversion is compared with an estimate of laminated shale volume from nuclear logs. The bulk water volume determined from the inversion is compared with a bulk irreducible water volume from NMR measurements. NMR data are then used to obtain a sand distribution in the reservoir and this sand distribution is used in a second inversion of the multicomponent data. Alternatively, a bulk permeability measurement is used as a constraint in inverting the properties of the anisotropic sand component of the reservoir. From the resistivities of the sand laminae, empirical relations are used to predict anisotropic reservoir properties of the reservoir.

    摘要: A method for generating an improved estimate of horizontal conductivity, dip angle, azimuth and anisotropy parameter of an earth formation penetrated by a wellbore from dual-frequency transverse electromagnetic induction measurements, comprising generating an initial estimate of the horizontal conductivity, dip angle, azimuth and anisotropy parameter from the dual-frequency transverse induction measurements made at each one of a plurality of base frequencies. The initial estimates from each of the plurality of base frequencies are input into a primary trained neural network, and the improved estimate is calculated by the trained neural network. The network is trained by generating models of earth formations each having a known value of horizontal conductivity, anisotropy parameter, dip angle and azimuth. Voltages which would be measured by the transverse electromagnetic induction instrument in response to each model are synthesized. Initial estimates from the synthesized voltages are calculated and the initial estimates and known values from each of the models are input to the neural network to cause it to learn a relationship between the initial estimates and the known values.

    摘要: A method for determining the 2-dimensional distribution of horizontal and vertical electrical conductivities of earth formations surrounding a wellbore using measurements made by a transverse electromagnetic induction well logging instrument. A model is generated of the axial distribution of the horizontal and vertical conductivities, from induction signals acquired by the instrument using two-frequency alternating current. The model is generated by calculating an initial estimate of the conductivity distribution and axially inverting the estimate with respect to the measurements made using the two-frequency alternating current. Shoulder correction is applied to measurements made by the instrument using single-frequency alternating current. An estimate of the radial distribution of the conductivities is generated from the shoulder corrected induction signals acquired using the single-frequency alternating current. A 2-dimensional model is made of the conductivity distribution from the model of axial distribution and from the estimate of radial distribution. The two-frequency induction signals are corrected for near wellbore effects using two-frequency whole space responses calculated using the 2-dimensional model. The corrected two-frequency signals are then axially inverted to generate a 2-dimensional model. Using the corrected two-frequency signals in place of the acquired signals, all the previous steps are repeated until differences between the corrected two-frequency induction signals from successive repetitions (iterations) of the steps fall below a predetermined threshold. The two-dimensional model extant when process is halted becomes the final two-dimensional model.
