متن کاملAcoustic Logging in Randomly Stratified Formations
The propagation of borehole acoustic waves in the presence of various types of heterogeneous formations is investigated by modeling them as stratified media with varying velocity-depth distributions. Two types of formations are modeled, using translational and cyclic random models, respectively. Borehole acoustic wavefields for the heterogeneity formation models are simulated using finite-diffe...
متن کاملEffects of tool eccentricity on wave dispersion properties in borehole acoustic logging while drilling
In this paper, a finite element approach is applied to study the dispersion properties of non-leaky acoustic waves inside boreholes with off-centered LWD (logging while drilling) tools. Both soft and hard formation cases are studied with focus on phase velocity dispersions of Stoneley, dipole and quadrupole modes. When an LWD tool is off-centered, the dispersion curve of the Stoneley mode shift...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study Of Seismoelectric Signals In Logging While Drilling
Acoustic logging while drilling (LWD) may be complicated because of contamination by waves propagating along the drill collar (the tool waves). In this paper we propose a new method for separating tool waves from the true formation acoustic arrivals in borehole acoustic LWD. The method utilizes the seismoelectric signal induced by the acoustic wave at the fluid-formation boundary. The basis for...
متن کاملAcoustic Emission and Echo Signal Compensation Techniques Applied to an Ultrasonic Logging-While-Drilling Caliper
A logging-while-drilling (LWD) caliper is a tool used for the real-time measurement of a borehole diameter in oil drilling engineering. This study introduces the mechanical structure and working principle of a new LWD caliper based on ultrasonic distance measurement (UDM). The detection range is a major performance index of a UDM system. This index is determined by the blind zone length and rem...
