    摘要: In a well (10) in production or undergoing tests, the recovery of data acquired and stored in a downhole unit (16) located in the lower part of a drillpipe string (12) below a test valve (20) is effected directly in the form of acoustic signals between the downhole unit (16) and an interface tool (24). To this end, acoustic coupling is established between the tool (24) and the drillpipe string (12), and electro-acoustic transducers are provided in the tool and in the downhole unit (16). Commands are transmitted in the opposite direction, also in the form of acoustic signals, in particular to initiate data recovery. The transmission of data and commands between the tool (24) and the surface unit (22) is effected by any known means, for example in the form of electrical signals carried by a cable (26).

    摘要: Acoustical coupling is proposed as a means of determining the presence and acoustical impedance of materials behind casing in cementation evaluation. Expressions for computing coupling and attenuation in multi-receiver/transmitter logging systems are analyzed in an exponential model for the spatial decay of elastic wave energy propagating axially along the casing. Amplitude change between transmitter(s) and receiver(s) is separated into a change dependent on coupling into and out of the casing wave, as well as a change related to attenuation along the casing. Coupling which is dependent on geometrical factors such as casing size and thickness, and on distribution and mechanical properties of the material outside the casing, shows principally the mechanical impedance of the material outside. Significantly, the bonding of this material to the casing is not a dominant factor for the coupling. Thus an estimation of cement strength may be made even in the presence of microannulus.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for detecting radiation phenomena in an area surrounding a wellbore traversing an earth formation. A logging instrument is equipped with combined radiation detectors to provide multiple measurements at the same axial position along the instrument axis, without the use of rotating parts within the instrument. Shielded or segmented detectors provide azimuthally focused detector sensitivity. A controllable radiation source is optionally disposed on the instrument for subsurface irradiation. Also disclosed is the use of radioactive materials in unison with the logging instrument to determine subsurface flow and reservoir characteristics.
