Publication number: 20070140055Abstract: An acoustic logging system with a borehole tool comprising a transmitter assembly and an axially spaced receiver assembly. The transmitter and receiver assemblies are optionally rotatable with respect to each other, depending upon the embodiment of the logging system. The logging system is designed to measure, among other parameters, the velocity (or slowness) and amplitude of shear wave energy induced by the transmitter assembly within formation penetrated by the borehole. These parameters are extracted from full wave acoustic data responses of receiver elements comprising the receiver assembly, and are measured as a function of azimuth around the borehole. These parameters are subsequently used to determine anisotropic properties of the formation, such as the azimuthal direction of formation fracturing with respect to the well borehole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Applicant: Precision Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Lucio Tello, Thomas Blankinship, Edwin Roberts, Marek Kozak

Publication number: 20060262643Abstract: An acoustic borehole logging system for parameters of a well borehole environs. Full wave acoustic response of a scanning transducer is used to measure parameters indicative of condition of a tubular lining the well borehole, the bonding of the tubular to material filling an annulus formed by the outside surface of the tubular and the wall of the borehole, the distribution of the material filling the annulus, and thickness of the tubular. A reference transducer is used to correct measured parameters for variations in acoustic impedance of fluid filling the borehole, and for systematic variations in the response of the scanning transducer. Corrections are made in real time. The downhole tool portion of the logging system is operated essentially centralized in the borehole using a centralizer that can be adjusted for operation in a wide range of borehole sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: Precision Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Blankinship, Edwin Roberts, Lucio Tello
