  • Patent number: 11913324
    Abstract: An apparatus for downhole multi-dimensional imaging includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a formation resistivity signal, an ultrasonic echo signal and an orientation signal regularly; a sector calculation unit configured to calculate, based on said orientation signal, a sector where a currently acquired signal is from; and a multi-dimensional imaging unit, configured to calculate, based on the signals acquired by the acquisition unit, data of resistivity, distance from a drilling tool to a borehole wall and ultrasonic echo amplitude, and distribute said data into all sectors for feature recognition and extraction, thus obtaining key features characterizing a current formation being drilled, said key features being transmitted to ground for guiding drilling process. The structural complexity and the length of the downhole imaging measurement instrument can be reduced, and feature recognition can be directly performed on the imaging data underground.

  • Patent number: 9739141
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data transmission system and a method for transmission of downhole measurement data to the ground. The system includes a drill string mounted with a logging while drilling measurement tool, and a throw while drilling section, which accommodates a micromemory. The throw while drilling section includes a housing which is mounted outside of the drill string as a sleeve to form a clearance space therebetween; a control circuit; and a wireless transceiver. The throw while drilling section releases, under function of a micromemory release instruction transmitted by the control circuit, the micromemory loaded with the downhole measurement data to the ground.
