Abstract: Some aspects relate to techniques for calibrating a logging tool. In some implementations, the logging tool may estimate certain unknown properties of a signal based on distances between transmitters and receivers of the logging tool and based on frequencies used by the transmitters and receivers. The logging tool may estimate the unknown properties by interpolating values into a mathematical function related to the above-noted distances and frequencies. After estimating the unknown properties, the logging tool may be deployed into the wellbore, where it may use the estimated properties to process signals received through a subsurface formation.

Abstract: Borehole images can be corrected using machine-learning models. For example, a system can train a machine-learning model based on a training dataset. The training dataset can include a first set of borehole images correlated to a second set of borehole images, where the second set of borehole images are less precise versions of the first set of borehole images. The system can then execute the trained machine-learning model in relation to an input borehole image to receive a corrected borehole image as output from the trained machine-learning model. The corrected borehole image can be a visually corrected version of the input borehole image. The system may then perform one or more operations based on the corrected borehole image, such as generating a graphical user interface that includes the corrected borehole image for display on a display device.

Abstract: A method includes detecting, via first and second receivers of a tool that are oriented at a first and a third tilt angle, respectively, a first and second measurement of a first signal transmitted by a transmitter of the tool that is oriented at a second tilt angle into a substantially non-conductive material. The method includes determining, based on the first and second measurements, a first tensor and conveying the tool into a first wellbore formed in a subsurface formation. The method includes detecting, via the first receiver and the second receiver, a third and fourth measurement, respectively, of a second signal transmitted by the transmitter and determining, based on the third and fourth measurements, a second tensor and determining a third tensor (having values independent of the first, second, and third tilt angles) based on a relationship between the first and second tensors.

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.

Abstract: A system can calibrate inconsistencies in a wellbore tool. The system can receive a first set of measurements and a second set of measurements with respect to different electromagnetic antennas. The system can decouple a first multi-components tensor corresponding to the first set of measurements and a second multi-components tensor corresponding to the second set of measurements. The system can determine, using the decoupled first and second multi-components tensors, a scaling factor. The system can apply the scaling factor to a raw measurement received with respect to an electromagnetic antenna of the wellbore tool positioned in a wellbore to decouple a third multi-components tensor or to decoupled components of a fourth multi-components tensor for controlling a wellbore operation.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to calibrating a formation signal for a mixed set measurement device.

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.

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.

The method determines ranging distance and direction of the drilling well to target well using the offset between the true magnetic sensor position and the first planned depth position. The method helps to adjust directional drilling parameter to achieve constant ranging distance between drilling well and target well.

Abstract: A transmitter of a downhole tool inserted in a borehole of a geological formation transmits a first signal. A receiver of the downhole tool receives a second signal, where the second signal is induced by the first signal in the geological formation. A simple response matrix is determined based on the second signal, where the simple response matrix includes a plurality of response components. One or more of the response components are combined and a modified response matrix is formed by replacing one or more of the plurality of response components in the simple response matrix with a linear combination of the response components of the simple response matrix. The modified response matrix is inverted and an indication of formation properties in the geological formation is output.
