  • Publication number: 20230042141
    Abstract: An imaging device included in an assembly located in a wellbore during drilling operations may include a cylindrical housing that extends along a central axis thereof. The imaging device may include at least one gradient coil configured to produce a unique magnetic field weaker than a main magnetic field. The at least one gradient coil may create a variable field that is increased or decreased by changing a direction of the unique magnetic field with respect to a direction of the main magnetic field to allow a specific part of a rock formation to be scanned by altering and adjusting the main magnetic field. The imaging device may include at least one radio frequency coil configured to transmit radio frequency waves into the rock formation. The imaging device may include at least one magnet disposed in the cylindrical housing that resonates against the unique magnetic field.
