Abstract: A method and device are shown for detecting the characteristics of a cement annulus between a casing in a borehole and the surrounding earth formations in a slickline cement bond logging operation. An acoustic logging tool is utilized which produces a pure signal downhole. The received acoustically transmitted energy produces electrical signals indicative of both the amplitude of the received energy and variable density log data. Both the amplitude data and the variable density log data are captured in memory downhole by the use of a time amplitude matrix which stores a limited number of data points for producing a cement bond log at the well surface.

Abstract: An induction logging tool is disclosed for utilization in conjunction with surface electronic equipment for measuring a characteristic of subsurface formations. A transmit signal which is comprised of a repetitive sequential series of at least three transmit frequencies is generated by coupling an oscillator to a transmitter coil and a plurality of selectable tuning capacitors. A signal characteristic of the response of the formation to this transmit signal is detected at a receiver coil array and two phase sensitive detectors are then utilized to generate output signals indicative of the magnitude of the X and R components of the formation signal which is in phase with a reference phase signal. The output signal of each phase sensitive detector is then utilized to accurately determine the X and R component of the receiver coil signal for each frequency by nulling the output of the phase sensitive detector utilizing a closed loop conversion circuit which eliminates errors due to phase and gain variations.
