摘要:
An improved induction tool for formation resistivity evaluations. The tool provides electromagnetic transmitters and sensors suitable for transmitting and receiving magnetic fields in radial directions that are orthogonal to the tool's longitudinal axis with minimal susceptibility to errors associated with parasitic eddy currents induced in the metal components surrounding the transmitter and receiver coils. Various transmitter receiver combinations are provided to select sensitivity to a desired reservoir formation properties, for example, different orientations xy, xz, yz, 20-40, 20-90, and combinations, such as, Symmetric—symmetric; Asymmetric—symmetric; and Asymmetric—asymmetric. Measurements made with a multi-component logging instrument when used in a substantially horizontal, vertical or deviated borehole in earth formations are diagnostic of the direction of resistive beds relative to the position of the borehole.
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.

The total porosity of a formation, a fractional volume of the shale, and a resistivity of the shale are determined in a laminated reservoir including sands that may have dispersed shales therein. A tensor petrophysical model determines the laminar shale volume and laminar sand conductivity from vertical and horizontal conductivities derived from multi-component induction log data. The volume of dispersed shale and the total and effective porosities of the laminar sand fraction are determined using a Thomas-Stieber-Juhasz approach. Removal of laminar shale conductivity and porosity effects reduces the laminated shaly sand problem to a single dispersed shaly sand model to which the Waxman-Smits equation can be applied.

Shoulder corrections are applied to measurements obtained from a multicomponent electromagnetic logging tool. An anisotropic resistivity model is obtained using the shoulder corrected data. The process is iterated until a good match is obtained between the shoulder corrected data and the model output.
摘要:
A method for characterizing a fluid sample withdrawn from an earth formation. The method includes performing nuclear magnetic resonant spin echo measurements on the fluid sample at a nuclear magnetic resonant frequency of carbon-13. Amplitudes of the spin echo measurements are summed. The summed measurements are spectrally analyzed. The fluid is characterized by determining whether aromatic hydrocarbons are present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 130 part per million shift from the carbon-13 frequency. The fluid is also characterized by determining whether aliphatic hydrocarbons are present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 30 parts per million frequency shift.

A method for estimating axial positions of formation layer boundaries from transverse electromagnetic induction signals. A first derivative is calculated with respect to depth of the induction signals. A second derivative of the signals is calculated. The second derivative is muted. Layer boundaries are selected at axial positions where the muted second derivative is non zero, and the first derivative changes sign. The selected boundaries are thickness filtered to eliminate boundaries which have the same axial spacing as the spacing between an induction transmitter and receiver used to measure the induction signals, and to eliminate boundaries having a spacing less than an axial resolution of the induction signals. In a preferred embodiment, the process is repeated using transverse induction measurements made at another alternating current frequency. Layer boundaries selected in both frequencies are determined to be the layer boundaries. An alternative embodiment includes Fourier transforming the induction signals into the spatial frequency domain, low pass filtering the Fourier transformed signals at a band limit about equal to the axial resolution of the induction signals, calculating a central first derivative of the filtered, Fourier transformed signals, calculating an inverse Fourier transform of the central first derivative, determining roots of the inverse Fourier transform, and testing localized properties of the inverse Fourier transform within a selected number of data sample points of the selected roots, thereby providing indications of formation layer boundaries at axial positions most likely to be true ones of the formation layer boundaries.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring resistivity of an earth formation. The apparatus includes at least one source of measuring current. The source includes a delta-sigma modulator and a serial bit source coupled to the modulator. The serial bit source represents the magnitude of the measuring current at spaced apart time intervals. The apparatus includes a sensor responsive to formation current resulting from interaction of the measure current with the earth formation. The sensor is coupled to a sigma-delta modulator. The modulator is coupled to a digital mixer and a digital filter. The output of the digital filter corresponds to the magnitude of the measure current detected by the sensor sampled at spaced apart time intervals. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a plurality of current sources each having a different frequency. The sigma-delta modulator is coupled to a plurality of mixers each for demodulating one of the different source frequencies.

The present invention relates to a method of electroplating in which the electroplating bath is treated by the direct injection of electromagnetic radiation. Most preferably, the electromagnetic radiation is within the radio frequency range and is injected through a metal conductor directly in contact with the bath. Such treatment increases the speed of electroplating as well as the quality of the plated product. The invention is applicable to the plating of zinc, chrome, nickel, precious metals and the like.
