  • Patent number: 11029434
    Abstract: In a method for acquiring data of azimuthal acoustic LWD, when an acoustic LWD instrument rotates with a drilling tool at a certain depth, data is acquired by adopting an azimuthal equal-interval mode: a well circumference is divided into m sectors by azimuthal intervals ??, when a toolface angle of the acoustic LWD instrument is located in the kth sector, an acoustic transmitting source is controlled to transmit an acoustic signal, and an acoustic receiver measures the acoustic signal, digitizes it and then stores it as data in the kth sector; and the data is acquired for each sector in turn, and after the data is acquired in each sector for N times, the data acquisition at the current depth is completed. Meanwhile, as the drilling tool rotates and drills, the instrument acquires acoustic data at different depths and processes it to achieve azimuthal acoustic imaging.

  • Patent number: 11002128
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring gravity acceleration of a drilling tool comprises sensors and a measurement circuit. The sensor comprises a three-axis gravity accelerometer, a reference measurement sensor and a temperature sensor. The three-axis gravity accelerometer measures acceleration component signals in three mutually orthogonal directions, and the reference measurement sensor generates a signal that varies with rotation and is not affected by vibration or shock to serve as a reference signal. The temperature sensor measures the temperature in the apparatus to compensate the temperature effect of the gravity accelerometers. The measurement circuit acquires output signals of the sensors and performs cross-correlation processing on the accelerometer components using the reference signal to extract gravity acceleration signals so as to eliminate centrifugal acceleration, vibration, shock and other interferences generated by rotation.
