Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090168595METHOD FOR GAS ZONE DETECTION USING SONIC WAVE ATTRIBUTES - A method for determining on a real time logging while drilling (LWD) basis gas within earth formations traversed by a borehole. Continuous LWD acoustic measurements are recorded and processed including coherent energy and attenuation attributes to detect downhole gas zones and kick during drilling operations.07-02-2009
20090168598METHOD FOR PERMEABLE ZONE DETECTION - A method for estimating formation permeability from measured sonic wave Stoneley attributes and particularly the Stoneley attributes of slowness (DTst) and attenuation (ATTst), taking into consideration the existence of a heavy walled drill collar at the end of the drill string and the relative lack of borehole mud cake during a drilling operation. In the subject LWD application a real-time qualitative indication for fracture and permeable zones is estimated from Stoneley measurements. This information is useful to a driller to make important timely decisions about drilling and completion programs.07-02-2009
20100147590APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING ACOUSTIC SENSORS CLOSER TO A BOREHOLE WALL - An interchangeable sleeve for a downhole tool includes a substantially cylindrical body configured to circumferentially engage the downhole tool, a blade extending radially from the body, and a transducer disposed within the blade. A drilling assembly includes a drill collar, an interchangeable blade configured to couple to the drill collar, and a transducer disposed within the blade. A size of the blade and a size of the transducer are selected based on a diameter of a borehole in which the downhole tool is to be used. A method of manufacturing an interchangeable sleeve for a downhole tool includes forming a blade on a body of the sleeve such that the blade extends radially from the body, disposing a transducer within the blade, and configuring the sleeve to circumferentially engage the downhole tool.06-17-2010
20100177594ATTENUATION OF UNWANTED ACOUSTIC SIGNALS BY SEMBLANCE CRITERION MODIFICATION - Methods and related systems are described for modified semblance criterions based on the approach of thresholding the signal energy. A first criterion is derived by posing the problem as that of detecting a signal with energy (or amplitude) greater than the specified threshold and deriving the generalized likelihood ratio test statistic. A second criterion is derived using the same method by posing the problem as that of rejecting any signal with energy (or amplitude) below a specified threshold and detecting it if its energy is above another threshold greater than or equal to the first. These appropriately modify the original semblance criterion which is shown to be equivalent to the GLRT test statistic in the absence of any threshold on the signal amplitude. In addition simpler modifications are also described. Tests on synthetic data illustrate the effectiveness of all these modifications which perform comparably well at suppressing unwanted arrivals while accurately processing the desired signals.07-15-2010
