Abstract

In order to judge the engineering quality accurately and determine the downhole tool depth or perforation position, the post casing logging depth correction is usually carried out by using the lithology characteristics reflected by the natural gamma curve and the coupling depth characteristics reflected by the casing coupling location logging tool, so as to judge the well depth information comprehensively.

This paper proposes a gamma & casing coupling location logging tool with dynamically gain-modulated. The casing coupling location acquisition unit can meet the needs of borehole logging from 4 inches to 14 inches in the velocity range of 600 to 3600 by adaptive gain adjustment. At the same time, Kalman filter [1, 2] technology is used to eliminate the statistical fluctuation of natural gamma counting pulse due to excessive measurement speed.

Firstly, the logging principle of gamma & casing coupling location logging tool is briefly analyzed, and its shortcomings in the logging process are pointed out; Then, the dynamically gain-modulated algorithm and other functional modules are described in detail; Finally, the indoor test and field application are described.

The development of gamma & casing coupling location logging tool with dynamically gain-modulated can effectively solve the defect of low signal-to-noise ratio due to many factors such as instrument velocity measurement and borehole diameter. The instrument has completed the high temperature performance test at 175 ℃ in the laboratory and got good results. At present, the instrument has participated in the comparative test of several wells in Longdong area of Changqing Oilfield, and qualified logging curves have been obtained.
