  • Patent number: 10578754
    Abstract: In an apparatus for multi-pole acoustic logging while drilling, a N-cycle sinusoidal wave signal is generated by utilizing a signal processor, and amplified into a high-voltage sinusoidal excitation signal by utilizing a power amplifier, and output to a transmitting transducer. The signal processor simultaneously generates an enable signal. The enable signal includes a transient discharge enable signal. The power amplifier is connected with a transient discharge circuit. After the signal processor generates N cycles of a sinusoidal wave, the transient discharge enable signal enables the transient discharge circuit to discharge to release an energy storage current of a power transformer so as to eliminate a high-voltage ringing effect and improve an excitation efficiency of the transducer.

  • Patent number: 10488544
    Abstract: In a system for arranging survey points in field operation with a ground electromagnetic instrument, the position information of survey lines and survey points are planned and downloaded to an aircraft in advance. The survey lines and one survey point among survey points planned in advance is selected and the coordinate information of the survey point is acquired. The aircraft is controlled to fly to the physical geographic location of the survey point according to the coordinate information of the survey point in conjunction with positioning information acquired in real time. The aircraft hovers above the physical geographic location of the survey point and projects a predetermined indication mark to the ground. The detection instrument and electric field sensor are deployed at a first position indicated by the indication mark, and the magnetic field sensor is deployed at a second position; such a process is repeated till all of the planned survey points are arranged.

  • Patent number: 10443307
    Abstract: The static push-the-bit articulated high-built-rate rotary steerable tool has the main body of a non-rotary measurement and control unit articulated with the main body of a non-rotary actuator, rather than an integral structure. Due to the fact that the drilling tool is easy to bend in a wellbore, the bending stress in an upper portion of the steerable tool is low, and the consumption of the pushing force for bending deformation of the drilling tool is minimized. Since the steering sleeve around the main body of a load-bearing actuator only slides along the well wall in an axial direction without rotational friction there-between, the service life of the steering sleeve is long. Besides, since hydraulic pressure is used instead of pressure difference of mud to act on the pistons to form the pushing force, the pushing force is greatly improved, and the sealing life of the pistons is longer.

    Abstract: An azimuthally acoustic imaging logging while drilling (LWD) apparatus employs two sets of transmitting transducers to excite multipole mode waves. One set is high-frequency monopole and polarized pole transmitting transducers, and the other set is low-frequency dipole and quadrupole transmitting transducers.
