    摘要: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for identifying the quality of cement bonding of an exterior surface of a wellbore casing to an Earth formation. Methods of the present disclosure may allow for bond indexes to be identified in real-time as a cementing operation is performed even when tools that perform the cementing operation generate acoustic noise that interfere with measurements used to evaluate cement bonding quality. These methods may include transmitting acoustic signals, receiving acoustic signals, filtering the received acoustic signals, identifying magnitude and attenuation values to associate with the received acoustic signals, and comparing trends in the magnitudes with the identified attenuation values. These methods may also include correcting attenuation values associated with measured data based on a set of correction rules such that bond indexes can be identified. Such correction rules may be associated with data generated by a computer model.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for performing a seismic full waveform inversion independent of a source wavelet to generate a final velocity model of subsurface formations of a survey region are provided. The method includes positioning seismic data recording sensors in the survey region; blasting at points of incidence in the survey region to generate seismic waves; and sensing and recording the seismic waves using the seismic data recording sensor. The recorded seismic waves are seismic data. The method further includes transmitting the seismic data to a computer system including one or more memories and storing the seismic data in one or more memories; storing a source wavelet in the one or more memories; performing, by the computer system, a forward modeling operation using the source wavelet; and generating, by the computer system, the final velocity model for the seismic full waveform inversion using the forward modeling operation.

    摘要: A system including a sensor housing including a channel, and cantilever beam connected to the sensor housing and disposed within the channel. The system also includes an actuator connected to the cantilever beam and configured to cause the cantilever beam to vibrate. A sensor is connected to the cantilever beam and is configured to generate a first signal representing a cantilever beam vibration of the cantilever beam. The system also includes an accelerometer connected to at least one of the sensor and the sensor housing, the accelerometer configured to generate a second signal representing an external vibration of the sensor housing. The external vibration changes the cantilever beam vibration. The system also includes a signal processor configured to receive, as input, the first signal and the second signal and to generate, as output, a filtered signal that reduces an effect of the external vibration on the cantilever beam vibration.

    摘要: A method for determining the presence and bonding characteristics of elements which may include cement which may be bonded to a pipe string. The method for determining the presence and bonding may comprise disposing an acoustic logging tool in a wellbore, wherein the acoustic logging tool comprises a transmitter and a receiver, broadcasting a pressure pulse with the transmitter into a first material, wherein the pressure pulse reflects off an interface of the first material and a pipe string as a reflected pressure pulse, recording the reflected pressure pulse with a receiver, and determining an integrity of a material using a Quintero Wellbore Index.
