System and method for generating fluid compensated downhole parameters

摘要

Systems, tools and techniques for generating downhole parameters of a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation and having a downhole fluid (108) therein are provided. A downhole tool with sensor pads (118a, 118b, 118c, 118d) is positioned in the wellbore (106) for emitting an electrical signal therefrom and for measuring the electrical signal. A downhole fluid unit is provided for generating downhole fluid measurements from the measured electrical signal passing through the downhole fluid and for generating a downhole fluid distribution profile (430) based on the downhole fluid measurements whereby separation of the downhole fluid may be indicated. A formation unit may be provided for generating formation measurements from the measured electrical signal passing through the subterranean formation. A compensation unit may be provided for analyzing the fluid distribution profile and selectively adjusting the formation measurements based on the analyzed downhole fluid distribution profile whereby a fluid compensated formation parameter is provided.

1. A system for generating downhole parameters of a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation and having a downhole fluid therein, comprising:
a downhole tool positionable in the wellbore; a plurality of sensor pads positionable axially about the downhole tool and spaced at a distance from the downhole tool, wherein each sensor pad of the plurality of sensor pads is configured to emit an electrical signal therefrom and to measure the electrical signal; and a downhole fluid unit for generating, at different locations along the wellbore, a plurality of downhole fluid measurements from the measured electrical signal passing through the downhole fluid in situ and generating a downhole fluid distribution profile based on the plurality of downhole fluid measurements, an orientation of the wellbore, and a position of the sensor pad corresponding to each of the downhole fluid measurements, whereby separation of the downhole fluid may be indicated.
