What Is Open Hole Logging?
• It refers to logging operation that are performed on a
well before the wellbore has been cased and cemented.
• Open hole logging is done through a bareback sides of
the formation
• Log recorded in open hole are basically used for…….
1.Estimating thickness, porosity, permeabiliy
and hydrocarbon saturation of the well.
2.Formation evaluation and identification of
lithology.
• GR log is a mesurement of Natural Radioactivity of the formation.
• Different element have different capacity to emit gamma ray , it is due
to presence of radio active material like
Uranium,Thoriam,Pottasium.
• Gamma ray tool have no source only have detactor which can
measure the range of gamma ray.
• Low Radioactivity :-Sandstone,Lime stone,dolomite.
• High Radioactivity:-Shales,feldspar,Volcanic Ash.
• SPONTANEOUS POTENTIAL LOG:-
• SP log measures the Natural or Spontaneous Potential Difference
between the Bore Hole and Surface of Electrode.
• Mesurement of Potential Difference in milivolts.
• Electric current arising due to electrochemical factors like salinities.
• It is use detect permeable bed and it’s boundaries & also use to find
volume of shale in the bed.
• SONIC LOG:-
• Sonic tool mesure the time it takes for a pulse of sound to travel from
transmitter to receiver which both are mounted on the tool.
• Unit :- micresecond/ft.
• It is use to find pore pressure,compaction of sediments& compostion of
bed (carbonates,shales,sands)
• NEUTRON LOGGING :-
• The neutron log is sensitive mainly to the amount of Hydrogen atoms
which is present in the formation.
• Mainly use in determination of porosity of formation.
• DENSITY LOGGING :-
• Use to Determine Rock Bulk Density.
• Use to find source rock.
• Use Radioactive Source which emits gamma rays which apllied to
borehole well which collide with the electrones in the formation.
• In denser formtion more electrones are present so more energy loss due
to colession.
What is cased hole logging?
• Cased hole logging involves logging measurements
through the well casing or metal piping that inserted
into the well during completion operation.
• CEMENT BOND LOG(CBL) :-
• Proper cement placement between the well casing and formation is
essential.
• CBL is use to evalution of integrity of cement work.
• Transmitter send acoustic wave to casing/cement and receiver receive
acoustic signal that transfer through casing/cement ,acoustic wave at
receiver is converted to amplitude.
• Low amplitude :- Good cement bond.
• High amplitude:-Poor cement bond.
• TEMPRATURE LOG :-
• Principle :-Resistance change as temp change.
• Temp logging tool have cage which is open to the well bore fluid at tool’s
bottom end. Inside the cage it contain thermistor that sense the
surrounding fluid temp.
• NOISE LOG :-
• Noise log is an inexpensive way to investigate whether there is channeling
in production well.
• Noise log tool contain microphone that highly effective in detection of flow
inside & outside the cased wall.
• A leaking well can damage the environment and result in lost production.
.• WHAT IS WELL CEMENTING ?
• Well cementing is the process of introducing cement to annular
space between the wellbore and casing or to the annular space
between two successive casing .
