摘要: Methods and systems for measuring cluster efficiency for stages of wellbores are provided herein. One method includes selecting a frequency band for generating broadband tube waves within the fluid column of the wellbore and generating the broadband tube waves within the fluid column of the wellbore using a pressure pulse generator that is hydraulically coupled to the wellbore. The method also includes recording data corresponding to the broadband tube waves and reflected broadband tube waves using pressure receivers that are hydraulically coupled to the wellbore. The pressure receivers are arranged into arrays with two or more pressure receivers in each array. The data recorded by the pressure receivers relate to characteristics of reflectors (including perforation cluster/fracture interfaces) within the wellbore. The method further includes processing the recorded data using interferometry and performing full waveform inversion(s) on the processed data to determine frequency-dependent, complex-valued reflection coefficients at each perforation cluster/fracture interface.

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: A model is used to generate corrections to mitigate ideal condition artifacts in acoustic property values of an annular material in a cased wellbore. A mathematical model that generates acoustic property values at ideal conditions introduces artifacts into the acoustic property values. Acoustic measurements of an annular material are used to generate features that represent wellbore conditions and are not accounted for in the mathematical model that generates acoustic property values. A model will generate corrections for acoustic property values of an annular material with the features to yield a more accurate acoustic property profile for the annular material of a cased hole.

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: Apparatus, methods, and systems for determining acoustic velocity behind casing or tubing in a subterranean wellbore. A method may include obtaining a plurality of waveform data sets corresponding to a plurality of propagation path regimes and obtaining a total wavefield across the receiver array. The method may also include determining a Green's function representing each of the plurality of propagation path regimes and determining a noise wavefield by convolving the Green's functions and a known transmitted pressure signal corresponding to the plurality of waveform data sets. The method may also include generating a reduced-noise wavefield by subtracting the noise wavefield from the total wavefield and estimating the acoustic velocity of a formation behind the casing or tubing from the reduce-noise wavefield.

摘要: A method and system for identifying bonding between a material and tubing. The method may include disposing an acoustic logging tool in a wellbore, wherein the acoustic logging tool comprises a transmitter, a receiver, or a transceiver, broadcasting a shaped signal with the transmitter such that the shaped signal interacts with a boundary of a casing and a material and recording a result signal from the boundary with the receiver. The method may further comprise identifying a cut-off time to be applied to the result signal, transforming the result signal from a time domain to a frequency domain, selecting one or more modes sensitive to a bonding at the boundary between the casing and the material, computing a decay rate of the one or more modes that were selected based at least one or more decay curves, and converting the decay rate to a bonding log.

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.
