  • Publication number: 20160334540
    Abstract: Sonic data, ultrasonic data, density data, cased-hole neutron data, and open-hole neutron data of the wellbore are obtained. The sonic and ultrasonic data provides the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the altered sonic and ultrasonic waves. The far counts, near counts, and energy spectrum are obtained from density data, cased-hole (CH) neutron data, and open-hole (OH) neutron data. The amplitude, frequency, and phase provide the interface densities of the first, second, and third interfaces. The hydrogen index (HI) of the formation and the cased wellbore are obtained from the CH and OH neutron data. The widths of the second and third interfaces are obtained from the HI's and the densities of the second and third interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20160334539
    Abstract: A distance of a gas flow path and a velocity of the gas flow therein are calculated using pulsed neutron data and noise data. The gas saturation and distance to flow path obtained from the pulsed neutron data and gas velocity and distance to flow path obtained from the noise data are compared with each other to obtain a first calculated distance and a first calculated velocity. The distance and the velocity of the gas flow are calculated using Doppler data. The distance and velocity values are compared with the first calculated distance and first calculated velocity to obtain a second calculated distance and velocity values. The distance and the velocity of the gas flow are calculated using temperature data. The distance and velocity values are compared with the second calculated distance and velocity to determine a distance of a cement interface and a velocity of a gas flow therein.

  • Publication number: 20160273335
    Abstract: A distance of a water flow path and a velocity of the water flow is calculated using data obtained from both a pulsed neutron sensor and distributed acoustic sensors. The two distance and velocity values are compared to obtain a first calculated distance and velocity. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using the Doppler data obtained from distributed Doppler sensors. The distance and velocity values are compared with the first calculated distance and first calculated velocity to obtain a second calculated distance and velocity values. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using temperature data obtained from distributed temperature sensors. The distance and velocity values are compared with the second calculated distance and velocity to determine a distance of a cement interface, and a velocity of a water flow therein.

  • Publication number: 20160274260
    Abstract: Sonic data, ultrasonic data, and density data of the annulus are obtained using a sonic tool, an ultrasonic tool, and a density tool, respectively, included in a tool string. A first deconvolution operation is performed to obtain an amplitude, a frequency, and a phase of the modified sonic wave. A first inverse modeling operation results in a first density value of the annular media. A second deconvolution operation is performed to obtain an amplitude, a frequency, and a phase of the modified ultrasonic wave. A second inverse modeling operation results in a second density value of the annular media. A third deconvolution operation is performed to obtain far counts, near counts, and an energy spectrum of gamma rays. A third inverse modeling operation results in a third density value of the annular media.
