Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acoustic wave well logging, in particular to a high-power driving circuit for an acoustic wave transducer. Background Art
[0002] Acoustic variable density logging is a type of acoustic logging. Its principle is to use the large difference in acoustic impedance between cement and mud (or water) to attenuate sound waves propagating along the casing axis, thereby reflecting the quality of the cement-casing and casing-formation bonds. Acoustic variable density logging evolved from acoustic amplitude logging. This method has played a positive role in oilfield exploration and development.
[0003] In the process of digital acoustic variable density logging, what we want to obtain is the full wave train information after the acoustic wave propagates in the formation. Through ground software digital signal processing, we can obtain waveform information such as casing wave, formation wave, direct wave, etc., and thus carry out cementing quality analysis.
[0004] However, the current acoustic amplitude logging method transmits the entire acoustic wave train to the surface, where the surface logging system calculates the amplitude of the first wave. This method, which requires the acoustic wave signal to pass through the cable core during transmission, results in significant amplitude attenuation, a low signal-to-noise ratio, large errors in the measured acoustic wave amplitude, and severe acoustic signal distortion.
