Embodiment Construction

[0023] The specific embodiment of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] figure 1 It is a diagram showing the measurement principle of a monopole acoustic wave instrument. The Stoneley waves generated by the transmitter T propagate along the wellbore axis and are sequentially received by eight receivers (R1, R2, ..., R8). Borehole size, changes in formation parameters and fractures will all cause the reflection of Stoneley waves. The downward arrows in the figure represent the reverse propagating Stoneley waves, and the upward arrows represent the forward propagating Stoneley waves.

[0025] figure 2 For example, when the distance between the receiver and the transmitter is 12ft (feet), the simulated waveform data received by the receiver R1 when the tool moves along the wellbore, from which the reflected waves can be seen intuitively, due to the interference of these reflected waves , thus af...

Abstract

This invention discloses a slowness measurement method for stoneley waves of well holes. In a monopole acoustic logging instrument, the reflection phenomenon of the stoneley wave is very obvious because of the size change of the well hole and the parameter change of the crack and the stratum. Theses reflection waves are influences for the extraction of the slowness of the stoneley waves, and thus relative big errors could be caused. This slowness measurement method for stoneley waves of well holes performs wave filtration on array wave shape so as to eliminate reflection stoneley wave, reduce slowness measurement errors and improve measurement precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the slowness of the Stoneley wave in a borehole, in particular to a method for eliminating the reflected Stoneley wave and improving the accuracy of the Stoneley wave slowness measurement. Background technique [0002] In the sonic logging of oil and gas exploration, it is of great significance to measure the velocity of sound waves in the formation. Stoneley waves are often used in the measurement of formation acoustic waves, and Stoneley waves are waves propagating on the interface of half-space bodies of two different media. Since the Stoneley wave propagates in the well and is very sensitive to the condition of the wellbore interface, the Stoneley wave can be used to effectively identify open fractures, formation permeability, etc. [0003] At present, the commonly used way to measure the Stoneley wave velocity is to use a monopole transducer to emit sound waves, use 8 or more acoustic transducers to...
