A Division of Schlumberger
OVERVIEW
The digital noise tool is a noise logging tool utilizing a pressure balanced piezo electric
sonan provided by Linear Measurements. The digitization of 6 pass bands occurs
downhole and is transmitted uphole using the telemetry system in a DIGITAL
FORMAT. Because the tool’s output is digital in nature, this eliminates the need for
calibration prior to running in hole, as was the case with the Schlumberger ASMT.
FEATURES
The tool has two modes, digital mode and analog mode. Digital mode is enabled by
powering up the tool at + 100 VDC. Analog mode is engaged by powering up the tool at
– 100VDC.
In digital mode, six pass bands are represented is six digital channels. The circuitry
implements a 6 pole high pass filter dividing the noise spectrum into 6 frequency
ranges, those are :
The high pass filter design results in the lowest or 200 Hz channel as having the widest
frequency spectrum and therefore monitoring the largest range of acoustic energy.
Correspondingly, the 6000 Hz channel represents the narrowest frequency spectrum
and thus the smallest range of acoustic energy.
In analog mode, a BNC to mini phono jack can be utilized between the decoupled
output of the power supply and a stereo system of some kind that has a LINE LEVEL
INPUT, then the tool’s output can be LISTENED to, but not logged.
