Patent number: 10502856Abstract: Apparatus and techniques are described, such as for obtaining information indicative of a formation resistivity, such as using an array laterolog apparatus. For example, an electrical excitation is coupled from a well tool in a borehole to a geologic formation through which the borehole extends, the excitation coupled through excitation electrodes on the well tool selected according to a specified excitation mode, and induced voltages are received from the geologic formation resulting from the excitation using monitor electrodes selected according to the specified excitation mode. In some examples, a voltage difference between a first pair of monitor electrodes is estimated through use of the induced voltage received through at least one additional monitor electrode.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Burkay Donderici, Baris Guner

Patent number: 10465496Abstract: The structural integrity and reliability of a downhole tool or mandrel may be improved by implementation of a design and configuration that does not require several separate components to be coupled together. An insulating sleeve is wrapped around the outside of a mandrel. Electrodes, both transmit and return, are wrapped around the insulating sleeve. The outside diameter of the mandrel is increased but the structural integrity and reliability of the mandrel is maintained as no gap sub is used to electrically isolate the electrodes from the mandrel. The insulating sleeve may be tapered at the edges to prevent excessive wear on the sleeve. The insulating sleeve may also extend the full distance between the electrodes to provide even more insulation.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Burkay Donderici, Baris Guner

Patent number: 10443371Abstract: The structural integrity and reliability of a downhole tool or mandrel may be improved by implementation of a design and configuration that does not require several separate components to be coupled together. A button recessed within an insulation layer may be installed within a groove or recess of the downhole tool. The isolation layer electrically isolates the button from the downhole tool. The button and the isolation layer are installed such that the top surface of either does not extend beyond the outer surface of the downhole tool. Recessing the button and isolation layer in this manner prevents undue wear on the downhole tool as well as the button and isolation layer. The buttons may be arranged so that when excited the buttons may detect the presence of a target objects located at various distances, directions, and orientations from the downhole tool.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Burkay Donderici, Baris Guner

Patent number: 10386525Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include various borehole imaging tools and methods to provide sensing surface configurations for improving the assessment of anisotropy in layered formations. In at least some embodiments, the borehole imaging tools employ a unitary conductive body to provide a wall-contacting face with grooves that define multiple elongated sensing surfaces. This wall-contacting face can be provided on an extendable sensor pad of a wireline logging tool or embedded on the outer surface of a LWD stabilizer fin. Toroids may be seated in the grooves around each elongated sensing surface for measuring the current flow through each sensing surface. The elongated sensing surfaces can be arranged in pairs as a series of rectangular-shaped grooves that are aligned perpendicularly to each other within each of the pairs to improve detection of anisotropy in thin layered formations and improve the sensitivity to dipping in anisotropic formations.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Luis Emilio San Martin, Baris Guner
