  • Patent number: 11689231
    Abstract: A measurement device can be provided for a tubular string of a drilling subsystem. The measurement device can include a transmitter and a receiver. A cover can be applied to at least one of the receiver or the transmitter. While at least one of the receiver or the transmitter is covered by the cover, an amount of crosstalk can be measured. The cover can be removed from the measurement device. Subsequent to removing the cover from the measurement device, an air-hang response of the receiver and the transmitter can be measured in an air-hang configuration of the tubular string. A corrected air-hang response of the measurement device can be determined by subtracting the amount of crosstalk from the air-hang response.

  • Patent number: 11473422
    Abstract: Raw signal measurements can be received by sensors in a wellbore. Borehole effects can affect the raw signal measurements. The raw signal measurements can be converted into ratio signals having attenuation and phase shift. An apparent resistivity can be determined from the ratio signals. Mud resistivity can be determined based on apparent resistivity, at least part of the raw signal measurements, and the borehole size. A true resistivity can be determined based on the mud resistivity and at least part of the ratio signals. The raw signal measurements and the ratio signals can be updated based on the true resistivity. Steps can be repeated to determine a corrected true resistivity. Based on the true resistivity value and updated raw signal measurements and ratio signals, an operating characteristic of a well tool can be caused to be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20220214470
    Abstract: A geosignal is calculated based on a signal detected by a multicomponent resistivity tool (101) to facilitate determination of formation properties and infer location of the resistivity tool with respect to formation boundaries. The resistivity tool (101) detects an electromagnetic field response signal (109) at a series of azimuth angles (111) during one tool rotation. The signal measured at each azimuth angle is decoupled to obtain nonzero electromagnetic field tensor components for input into the geosignal calculation. The results of the geosignal calculation for at least a top bin (i.e., an azimuth angle of 360 degrees) and a bottom bin (i.e., an azimuth angle of 180 degrees) are evaluated to determine whether the tool (101) is near a formation boundary. If the tool is determined to be near a formation boundary, the resistivity of the layers of the formation on each side of the detected boundary can be inferred.
