    摘要: The invention is a method of determining horizontal and vertical resistivity in an anisotropic formation using a combination of orientable triaxial and array antennae conveyed downhole. Measurements are taken at various azimuthal angles about a measuring device at a given depth. Values at each azimuthal orientation can be fit to a curve to yield information on the surrounding formation. Multiple measurements at a given depth and azimuthal orientation can be weighted to obtain an average value. Values from the curve fitting process are used in subsequent inversion processing and reduce the uncertainty of the inversion processing result. Utilization of a three dimensional geometry enables a unique resolution of the orientation of the principle axis of anisotropy, and consequently of horizontal and vertical resistivity, and dip.

    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 method for determining an initial estimate of the horizontal conductivity and the vertical conductivity of an anisotropic earth formation. Electromagnetic induction signals induced by induction transmitters oriented along three mutually orthogonal axes are measured. One of the mutually orthogonal axes is substantially parallel to a logging instrument axis. The electromagnetic induction signals are measured using first receivers each having a magnetic moment parallel to one of the orthogonal axes and using second receivers each having a magnetic moment perpendicular to a one of the orthogonal axes which is also perpendicular to the instrument axis. A relative angle of rotation of the perpendicular one of the orthogonal axes is calculated from the receiver signals measured perpendicular to the instrument axis. An intermediate measurement tensor is calculated by rotating magnitudes of the receiver signals through a negative of the angle of rotation. A relative angle of inclination of one of the orthogonal axes which is parallel to the axis of the instrument is calculated, from the rotated magnitudes, with respect to a direction of the vertical conductivity. The rotated magnitudes are rotated through a negative of the angle of inclination. Horizontal conductivity is calculated from the magnitudes of the receiver signals after the second step of rotation. An anisotropy parameter is calculated from the receiver signal magnitudes after the second step of rotation. Vertical conductivity is calculated from the horizontal conductivity and the anisotropy parameter.

    摘要: A method of measuring the conductivity of earth formations penetrated by a wellbore. The method comprises selectively passing an alternating current through transmitter coils inserted into the wellbore. Each of the transmitter coils has a magnetic moment direction different from the magnetic moment direction of the other ones of the transmitter coils. The alternating current includes a first and a second frequency. The amplitude at the first frequency has a predetermined relationship to the amplitude at the second frequency. The relationship corresponds to the first and the second frequencies. The method includes selectively receiving voltages induced in a receiver coil having a sensitive direction substantially parallel to the axis of the corresponding transmitter coil through which the alternating current is passed. A difference in magnitudes between a component of the received voltage at the first frequency and a component of the voltage at the second frequency is measured, and conductivity is calculated from the difference in magnitudes of the components of the received voltage at the two frequencies. In a preferred embodiment, the step of measuring the difference in magnitudes between the voltage components at the two frequencies includes extracting digital signal samples of the received voltage at predetermined times with respect to a cycle of the transmitter current at the first frequency.

    摘要: A current switch for borehole logging tools operating at high temperatures with high load currents, which includes a driver unit that responds to an input digital control signal by holding an output field effect transistor in a turn-off state until its gate electrode is fully charged before allowing the transistor to supply current to an inductive or acoustic load, and by effecting a rapid discharge of the gate electrode to turn the transistor off. A digital coupler is inserted between the source of the input digital control signal and the driver unit to electrically decouple the load current from the source. The effects of spurious noise contaminants including power spikes in the load, fly-back coupling, and Miller's capacitance thereby are minimized and a switching action with minimal transition time is achieved. The current switch is particularly adaptable for use in a complementary-symmetric circuit for a bi-directional switch that causes current to flow first in one direction, and then in the opposite direction through the load with minimal cross propagation of noise.

    摘要: A method for controlling the electrical power delivered to a downhole system. The downhole system may include a power supply, a downhole tool, and a wire or cable connecting the downhole tool to the power supply. A resistive load, such as a motor, is included with the downhole tool. The power supplied to the downhole tool is dynamically adjustable to match the resistive load voltage and power rating. Dynamically adjusting power is accomplished by varying voltage from the power supply, varying the resistive load requirements, or a combination of both.
