摘要： Methods and related systems are described for making measurements of an electromagnetic field in a subterranean formation that has been induced by a current loop. The current loop uses one or more steel wellbore casings as electrodes. Receiver arrays are positioned either at surface/seafloor, in the same, or in nearby wells. In the most general case, the receivers are tri-axial. A section of metallic casing in one well can be used as a current source and the electromagnetic field at surface can be measured using an array of EM receivers placed at a range of distances from the wellbore.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for minimizing or eliminating an undesired axial electric current induced along a subsurface borehole in the process of subsurface measurements with transmitter and/or receiver antennas which are substantially time varying magnetic dipoles with their dipole moments aligned at an angle to the axis of the borehole. Some antennas are disposed within the borehole on instruments having a non-conductive support member. One instrument includes a conductive all-metal body with an antenna adapted for induction frequencies. Antenna shields adapted for controlled current flow are also provided with an all-metal instrument. Methods include providing an alternate path for the current along the instrument body. Another method includes emitting a controlled current to counter the undesired current. Another method corrects for the effect of the current using a superposition technique. An embodiment of the instrument includes an antenna disposed between a pair of electrically coupled electrodes. The antenna is disposed on the instrument such that it comprises a tilted or transverse magnetic dipole. Another embodiment of the instrument includes a non-conductive housing with a conductive segment disposed thereon. An antenna is disposed on the instrument about the conductive segment. Another embodiment includes an antenna disposed between two pairs of electrodes with means to measure a voltage at the electrodes when electromagnetic energy is transmitted within the borehole. Yet another instrument includes an antenna disposed between a first pair of electrodes and means to measure a voltage at the electrodes when electromagnetic energy is transmitted within the borehole. This embodiment also includes means to energize a second electrode pair in response to the voltage measured at the first electrode pair.

摘要： A method and apparatus for evaluating the resistivity of earth formations surrounding a borehole, particularly high-contrast thin-layer formations or at high dip angles. The method involves positioning a pair of transmitters and a pair of receivers within the borehole, the receivers or transmitters adhering to specific spacing limitations, alternately transmitting electromagnetic energy of a particular frequency and receiving voltage data associated with the transmitted energy. Multiple voltage data are acquired and a representation of a resistivity or conductivity profile is created from a formulated difference of the data from a particular depth and/or neighboring depths. The apparatus forms part of a well logging system including a well tool adapted to be moveable through a borehole. The apparatus being coupled to the well tool and adapted with means to input voltage data developed by the receivers disposed on the well tool. The apparatus further adapted with means for performing calculations to determine a conductivity profile and for recording the profile on an output record medium.

摘要： An apparatus for determining the resistivity of formations surrounding an earth borehole. An elongated electrically conductive body is movable through the borehole. A first transmitter establishes a first current in the body from a first transmitter position on the body, the first current traveling in a path that includes the body and the formations. An electrode is mounted on the body and has a surface that is electrically isolated from the surface of the body. A first electrical signal, resulting from the first current, is measured at the electrode. A second transmitter establishes a second current in the body from a second transmitter position on the body that is spaced from the first transmitter position, the second current traveling in a path that includes the body and the formations. A second electrical signal, resulting from the second current, is measured at the electrode. A current monitor measures the axial current passing a monitor position on the body to obtain a monitor current value. An indication of formation resistivity is derived as a function of the first electrical signal, the second electrical signal, and the monitor current value.

摘要： A disclosed embodiment utilizes one or more toroidal coil antennas mounted, in an insulating medium, on a drill collar to induce currents which travel in a path that includes the drill collar and earth formations around the drill collar. At least one array of electrodes is provided on at least one stabilizer blade of the drill collar and is utilized to detect currents transmitted by toroidal coil antennas which return via the formations to the electrodes laterally; that is, approximately normal to the axis of the drill collar. Signal traces are obtained from measurements taken at respective ones of the transducers, and a dip characteristic of the formations is determined from the signal traces and from signals representing the rotational orientation of the drill collar.
