13 Jun Compensated Neutron Log (CNL*)

Description The compensated neutron log tool (CNL) contained a 16-curie Am/Be radioactive source that bombarded the formation with fast neutrons and two detectors at different spacings from the source. The neutrons were slowed down through elastic collision with the formation nucleii and then captured, primarily by...

13 Jun Azimuthal Resistivity Imager (ARI*)

Description The Azimuthal Resistivity Imager (ARI) was a laterolog tool that made deep measurements and azimuthal resistivity images around the borehole. At the time it helped analyze features and details that escaped conventional resistivity measurements: thin beds (down to 8 in, 20 cm), borehole formation heterogeneity,...

13 Jun Dipole Sonic Imager supplementary information

Explanation of Acoustic Wave Propagation Monopole compressional and shear Compressional and shear waves (sometimes referred to as p- and s-waves) are excited in the formation, along with various modes in the borehole, by a monopole source operating at high frequencies (typically 10-20 kHz). They propagate as body...

13 Jun Applications of gamma ray logs

Depth correlations and core-log integration Total gamma-ray log curves, which are acquired with every toolstring combination, are normally used to depth match all of the logsobtained in any one hole. The HSGR log from the Triple Combo is used as the base curve, and the SGR...

13 Jun Borehole Compensated Sonic Tool (BHC*)

Description The BHC sonde measured the time required for a compressional sound wave to travel through one foot of formation. The BHC consisted of an upper and lower transmitter arranged symmetrically on either side of two pair of receivers. The spacings T1-R2 and T1-R4 were 3 and 5 feet apart, as well...

13 Jun Array Seismic Imager (ASI*)

Description The Array Seismic Imager (ASI) consisted of an array of five seismic shuttles linked by a bridle to a signal-conditioning cartridge. Each shuttle sensor package contained three mutually orthogonal geophones fixed relative to the sensor package geometry. One geophone lay along the axis of the package (z-axis); the other...

13 Jun 3-Component Well Seismic Tool (WST-3*)

Description The WST-3 was a Schlumberger three axis check shot tool for both zero offset (chef shot) and offset vertical seismic profiles (VSP). It consisted of three geophones that pressed against the borehole wall and recorded the acoustic waves generated by an air gun located near the sea...
