  • Patent number: 11668187
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for determining the location of a tool traveling down a wellbore by measuring a first borehole magnetic anomaly with respect to time at two known locations on a tool, comparing the time difference between the two measurements, then calculating the velocity of the tool based on the comparison and then further calculating the distance traveled by the tool in the wellbore based on the velocity calculation.
