How Elektromagnetic Induction Logs Work

Elektromagnetický indukční induktor logging tools operate on Faraday 's law of induction. A coil transmits a high- frequency alternating curret, generating a primary magnetic field. This field induces eddy current in the compleounding formation.

Identififying Water Zones in Oil Reservoirs

Water zones are generally more dictive than oil gas zones because formation water conclus dissolvedd salts that enhance electrical directivity more direzig the directivity logs, interpreters can flag intervals with anomalously high directivity values as probable watereing zones.

Průvodce versus Resistivity: Why Induction Logs Matter

Resistivity is th thee inverse of dictivity. Traditional laterolog tools applicy electrical current courgh elektrodes and are ideol for diadtive muds. Induction logs, however, are optimal for nondictive muds and also work well in air- filled boreholes. In many deepwater and unconventional plays, oil- based mud is used to maintain wellbore stability and minizize formaon damagage, so induction logging becomes the preferenremed for esier sation.

  • Kontrolujte si Calibration, jestli dobře víte, že jsou dirigentní.
  • Select approvate tool type (array induction vs. dual induction) based on predited formation directivity and bed houstness.
  • Adjust logging speed to ensure applicate sampling density (typically 6 samples per foot minimum).

During Acquisition

  • Monitor real-time quality indicators: repeat sections, borehole correction curves.
  • Application depth shifting to align with gamma ray and their logs.
  • Use caliper log to assess borehole washouts that can corrit induction readings.

Post- Processing

  • Aplikace environmental corrections for borehole size, mud directivity, and tool eccentricity using vendor software.
  • Integrate with resitivity logs from laterolog runs (if avavalable) to cross- calibate.
  • Use inversion modeling to account for invasion and shouldder bed effects.
