Compensated Caliper Using Combined Acoustic And Density Measurements

View page
US Patent:
7596452, Sep 29, 2009
Filed:
Aug 10, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/770209
Inventors:
William Madigan - Houston TX, US
Eric B. Molz - Houston TX, US
Gamal A. Hassan - Houston TX, US
Philip L. Kurkoski - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 1/40
US Classification:
702 8, 1662542, 702 6
Abstract:
A logging-while-drilling density sensor includes a gamma ray source and at least two NaI detectors spaced apart from the source for determining measurements indicative of the formation density. An analytic function based on a heuristic model is used to predict the measured response as a function of offset, mud density and formation density. The model may be used to provide a caliper measurement where acoustic caliper data are unreliable.

Downhole Navigation And Detection System

View page
US Patent:
7763845, Jul 27, 2010
Filed:
Aug 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/503688
Inventors:
Robert A. Estes - Tomball TX, US
Rocco DiFoggio - Houston TX, US
Eric B. Molz - Houston TX, US
Constantyn Chalitsios - Houston TX, US
Philip L. Kurkoski - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 5/08
US Classification:
2502691
Abstract:
A photodiode whose long-wavelength cutoff is in the short-wavelength range (preferably, between ultraviolet and yellowish-green) having reduced temperature sensitivity is used in downhole applications. It may be matched with scintillation devices having an output matched to the response curve of the photodiode for use with nuclear logging devices. The photodiode may also be used in gyroscopes in which light from an LED matched to the photodiode is reflected from a spinning mass.

Nuclear Detectors Built Directly Into Shielding Or Modulating Material

View page
US Patent:
8421004, Apr 16, 2013
Filed:
Jun 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/797876
Inventors:
Eric B. Molz - Houston TX, US
Hayward Atkinson - Houston TX, US
Qianmei Zhang - Katy TX, US
Constantyn Chalitsios - Houston TX, US
Srdja Zekovic - Houston TX, US
Edgar R. Alvarez - Houston TX, US
Jonathan Hook - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 5/06
US Classification:
250254, 250253, 2502694
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring radiation in a borehole penetrating the Earth, the apparatus includes: a downhole tool having a structure defining a cavity; and one or more radiation detection components integrated into the cavity and configured to measure the radiation. An apparatus conveyable through a borehole for measuring radiation downhole and a method of producing a downhole apparatus for measuring radiation are provided.

Acoustic Devices To Measure Ultrasound Velocity In Drilling Mud

View page
US Patent:
20040095847, May 20, 2004
Filed:
Nov 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/298706
Inventors:
Gamal Hassan - Houston TX, US
Eric Molz - Houston TX, US
Philip Kurkoski - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated
International Classification:
G01V001/00
US Classification:
367/025000
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for measuring ultrasound drilling mud velocity downhole in real time. One or more generated acoustical pulses are detected upon traversing two separate path lengths, and ultrasonic velocity is determined from differences in the pulses upon traversing their respective path lengths. Alternately, a single measurement can be made using an acoustic pulse traversing a specified path length. A transducer is discussed having a piezoelectric crystal, a backing material having matching impedance, and a facing material disposed between the crystal and the fluid having an impedance intermediate to crystal and fluid. A concave front face of the crystal increases sensitivity to off-axis signals. Improved signal resolution can be achieved using a controlled shape input pulse optimized for certain drilling conditions. A method of echo detection using wavelet analysis is preferred.

Neutron Detector For Downhole Use

View page
US Patent:
20040178337, Sep 16, 2004
Filed:
Mar 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/386344
Inventors:
Philip Kurkoski - Houston TX, US
Volker Krueger - Celle, DE
Cornelis Huiszoon - Houston TX, US
Eric Molz - Houston TX, US
Pingjun Guo - Pearland TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V005/10
US Classification:
250/269400
Abstract:
A tool for measuring formation properties in situ. The tool includes a solid state neutron detector and a neutron source disposed on a drill string or wireline. The detector includes a boron carbon surface deposited on a substrate, and the surface can be multi-planar or curved for allowing sensitivity in more than one direction.

Early Kick Detection In An Oil And Gas Well

View page
US Patent:
20090173150, Jul 9, 2009
Filed:
Mar 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/398060
Inventors:
Rocco DiFoggio - Houston TX, US
Douglas J. Patterson - Spring TX, US
Eric B. Molz - Houston TX, US
Volker Krueger - Celle, DE
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 47/12
US Classification:
7315219, 702 9
Abstract:
A stepped reflector on the outside of a bottomhole assembly produces two reflections in response to excitation of a transducer. The velocity of the fluid in the borehole is estimated using the two reflections. Alternatively, a change in the gas content of the borehole fluid is estimated from changes in the electrical impedance of a transducer in contact with the borehole fluid.
