SONIC LOGGING TOOL INCLUDING RECEIVER AND SPACER STRUCTURE
摘要
<p>A formation logging tool having a substantially continuous central mandrel with regularly spaced mass blocks disposed thereon, at least some of the mass blocks carrying sensors such as receivers. By adopting this structure, the tool can be made to behave as a mass-spring structure and its flexural and extensional behaviour controlled such that its dispersion curve does not extend into the dispersion curve of the formation to be logged. The structure can be applied to the whole of the logging tool or just to the receiver section and/or any spacer section between the receiver and the transmitter section.</p>
