(RADIALS INCREMENTED BOND TOOL)

OBJECTIVES

 The purpose is to calibrate the Radial Incremented Bond Tool (RIB) before used to record
the cement integrity in well.

ACQUISITION

 Begin by selecting “Acquisition” and then “Service” and selecting the service for the tool you
want to run, the service name should be readily identifiable for the tool.

Edit Logging Services Details

 The full tool string configuration should as follows:

CCL---Centralizer---RIB---Centralizer---GR

Figure 1: Tool string

Tool String

 Depth offsets that were derived from the Edit-Tool String step may be viewed by choosing
Edit-Sensors, to display the following window as in Figure 2.

 The information in this window normally consists of the hardware source of the sensor
(Device and Channel number); the depth offset of the sensor from tool zero reference, and
the sampling rate.

Figure 2: Edit Sensors

Edit

 Click on the Edit menu box of the Warrior Logging System menu box and scroll down to and
select Variables.

Variables

 Check the proper Casing OD under CASEOD and proper Casing Weight under CASEWGHT.
 If you are outputting a Bond Index curve, enter the Minimum and Maximum Amplitudes.
 Enter any other variables that may be required.
 Then click the Accept button
 You must also manually enter the PPT (Predicted Pipe Time)
 Figure 3: SDS Variables

SDSTIP

 Under the Warrior Logging System menu go to Edit / Device Configuration / SDSTIP.
 To modified and filter the setting by manipulate slider bars in the Panel Controls window.
 This screen shot was taken with a TekCo 1 11/16” RIB tool synced up using approximately
24,000’ of 7/32 wireline.

POWER UP

 To power up the tool string go to Action / Power Control / Enable.

 Power up the tool for 120 VDC.
 Figure 5: Power Control Window Enabled

SYNCING

 Begin with the “Sync Gain” slider all the way down and the “Sonic Gain” slider in the same
position as Figure: 4.
 Next, start clicking the up arrow on the “Sync Gain” slider, one click at a time, about 3-4
clicks a second.

Figure 6: Refresh Rate being updated

  Stop clicking as soon as it begins to update and look at all the windows to verify that you
have all your signals.
 If not continue to increase the sync gain one click at a time until all signals appear. If
increasing your Sync Gain by 5 to 10 more clicks does not bring all of the signals into the
windows, you may need to increase the Sonic Gain and re sync the tool by bringing the Sync
Gain all the way down and clicking up one click at a time.
 Once all the signals are visible increase the “Sync Gain” by at least 5 more clicks.

PMON

 If you see wave forms in the “WVFSignal” windows but no pulses in the “PMON” window try
increasing your gain on the “AUX Gain” slider bar.
 If the slider bar is approaching max gain, lower it back to about 25; raise the gain setting it
the “SDSTIP” window and began raising the slider again, repeat the process until you have
pulses about 2 volts high in the PMON window without maxing out the slider bar.
 Once the pulses are gained to the proper height the discrimination levels need to be set;
usually about midway of the pulse. They are adjusted using the slide bars to the right of the
“PMON” window.
 To determine which slide bar is which move your mouse pointer over the up or down
pointers of the bar and the corresponding symbol will be displayed. The discriminate levels
for the additional pulses are usually set about mid way of the pulse height
 Once the “PMON” window is set up look at your Outputs to make sure the appropriate
number of pulses are being counted.

Figure 7: PMON threshold setting for + and – pulses.

Temperature Pulse

 Check the Edit / Calibrations screen and verify that the Temp Gain is set to .333 and the
“Offset” is set to 0.
 Check the Outputs Window / Temp display for the correct temperature.

Monitoring Outputs.

 From Warrior Acquisition Window select Monitor / Outputs.

 This is also a good time to check that your temperature output is reading correctly.

SHOP/TANK CALIBRATION

 Make up the tool with the centralizers and slide it into the tank that full of water and no air
has been trapped in the tank.
 Select the appropriate service and power up the tool.
 Continue by properly syncing the tool and checking variables.
 Bring the Waveform Signal Window to the front. The Amplitude gates appear on the
waveforms as a white line on the section of the waveform where they are set.
 The gates can be changed on this window by clicking on the waveform that needs to be
adjusted and then using the buttons in the top right corner of the Waveform Signal Window.
 To move the gate right or left on the x-axis use the buttons labeled .
 The width of the gate can be increased by selecting the button or decreased by using
the button.
 If you are unable to move the Amplitude Gates make sure the Amplitude button is
selected at the top of the Waveform Signal window.
 Before gating on the first arrival use the Panel Control ‘Sonic Gain’ Slider Bar to
increase/decrease the signal. Make sure that none of the signals are saturated (larger than
2.5 Volts).

 On the Waveform Window select (Travel Time Gate) and use the arrows at the top of
the wave form window to adjust the Travel Time gates.
 At this point you should have your gate (white line) on all the first positive arrivals of all the
signals being displayed. If the first arrival is not positive, the polarity can be changed
through Warrior/Utilities/Edit Logging Tool Details/ Select the Tool Being Run / Invert =
Yes.)
 Figure 10: Pipe Signals

 After all of the gates are set (Amplitude and Travel Time) select - Save As.
 Give this setup a name, such as “TekCo 1 11/16” RIB Amplitude Cal”. If there is a problem

later the setting can be restored by selecting – Load and selecting that set up name.
Pipe Zero Calibration

 Once you have saved your gate settings you are now ready to perform the Pipe Zero
Calibrations.

Figure 11: Zero Cal Signals

 Make sure the gates for all signals are on the flat part of baseline before the first arrival.
 Go to Action / Calibrate / SCBL Pipe Zero. Click on the “<<sample” button.
 The Sample & Average Sensor(s) box will appear. Click on the begin button. When the
sample is complete, monitor the values they should be very close to zero.
 If they are click the Accept button.

 After all of the Amplitude gates are set select - Save As. Give these setup a name,
such as “TekCo 1 11/16” RIB Amplitude Zero”. If there is a problem later the setting can be

restored by selecting – Load and selecting that set up name.

Free Pipe Signal Calibration

 On the Acquisition Window select Action / Calibrate / Pipe Signal Calibration; the SCBL E1
Amplitude Calibration window will appear.
 The Free Pipe Millvolt of the casing you are sampling is in the cells at the top of the window.

 Click on the <<sample button. The Sample & Average Sensor(s) box will appear.

Figure 19: Pipe Signal – Begin

Figure 20: Sample Signals – Accept

 After the sampling has finished select Accept.
 The offsets on all waveforms should be near zero. The gains should range from 20 to150.
Select OK.

 The SCBL E1 Amplitude Calibration window will appear with the raw voltage readings
displayed. Select Accept.

  To save a calibration: go to the “Warrior” window, select Edit / Tool String then Right Click
on the tool you want to save cals for and select “Properties”.
 At the top of the “Tool Editor” window select “Calibrations” and “Save”, a list will come up;
select the Tool and Serial Number which you want to save calibrations for and select Save.
 Next you will be asked where you want to save the calibration at and what you want to
name the file.
 The window should default to the Warrior Config folder but can be saved anywhere.

Once the two calibration procedures above have been completed your tool is ready to log. It should
be noted the tool output may vary slightly from the calibrated values when exposed to max
temperature and pressure.
