摘要： A method and apparatus for reliable and low-cost acquisition of offset checkshot survey data using tube wave conversion. An acoustic receiver is deployed in a fluid-filled well, preferably at or near the top thereof. At least one tube-wave conversion point is used, such as an interface between two immiscible fluids, a change in casing geometry or a wellbore constriction. The traveltime of a tube wave from the tube-wave conversion point to the acoustic receiver is determined. Then, a seismic signal is generated at a laterally offset location. The total seismic signal traveltime along a raypath from the source location to the tube-wave conversion point and then upwardly through the fluid-filled well to the acoustic receiver is measured. The previously determined tube-wave traveltime from the conversion point to the acoustic receiver is then subtracted from the total traveltime to obtain the seismic signal traveltime from the source location to the tube-wave conversion point.

摘要： Method and apparatus for acoustic wave generation and transmission into a subsurface earth formation. A logging sonde adapted to be suspended in a borehole within the formation houses a generator means for simultaneously generating a plurality of acoustic waves traveling in the direction of and spaced substantially evenly about the .[.logitudinal.]. .Iadd.longitudinal .Iaddend.axis of the sonde. An acoustic energy reflector means within the housing reflects the waves radially outwards of the axis and into the formation at angles generally perpendicular to the axis. Detectors within the housing spaced longitudinally from the generator and reflector detect acoustic energy in the formation resulting from the reflected waves. In a preferred embodiment, the generator means comprises four cylindrical magnetostrictively energized elements disposed about the central axis of the sonde, each having an axis parallel to the central axis, so that the four axes of the elements, when viewed in the direction of the central axis, define four corners of a square. The elements are designed so that upon energization, a given element vibrates longitudinally out of phase relative to the two elements adjacent thereto, vibration of the four elements in concert generating two positive and two negative waves which, when reflected into the formation, interfere to produce a quadrupole shear wave.

摘要： A method for simulating crosswell seismic data between first and second spaced apart wells is disclosed. According to the invention, a surface seismic source is used to generate a seismic signal at a location on the surface of the earth substantially in line with, but not between, the wells and closer to the first well than to the second well. A plurality of downhole seismic receivers are located in the first well and at least one downhole seismic receiver is located in the second well. The actual arrival time of the seismic signal at each of the first well and second well seismic receivers is recorded. For each second well seismic receiver, the actual arrival time is then compared to an estimate of the seismic signal travel time calculated on the basis of an assumed interwell seismic velocity field. If the estimate of the seismic signal travel time is not equal to the actual arrival time for each second well seismic receiver, the assumed interwell seismic velocity field is modified and the calculation is repeated. In this manner, the actual interwell seismic velocity field can be determined.

摘要： The shear wave velocity of the formation is determined by logging the fastest component of the guided wave generated by the generating means. This method is advantageous for logging the shear wave velocities of soft formations. If the generating means of a multipole acoustic logging device radiates at frequencies including a critical frequency, the fastest component of the guided wave generated by the generating means will have substantially the same velocity as a shear wave traveling in the earth formation. By logging the velocity of this fastest component, the shear wave velocity of the earth formation is determined.

摘要： The quadrupole shear wave logging device of this invention includes a logging sonde, means for generating a quadrupole shear wave in the earth formation surrounding a borehole containing fluid, and means for detecting in the fluid the refraction of the quadrupole shear wave. In the preferred embodiment, the generating means comprises four similar sectors of a hollow piezoelectric cylinder. The four cylinders are polarized radially. The four sectors are so connected to the sonde that they are in the form of a split cylinder coaxial with the sonde axis. Electrical pulses of similar waveforms are applied across the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of each sector to vibrate the four sectors. The electrical pulses are of such polarities that, during their initial motions of vibration, two oppositely situated sectors are caused to move outward and the remaining two oppositely situated sectors to move inward substantially simultaneously. Thus, the oppositely situated sectors will vibrate in phase whereas adjacent sectors will vibrate substantially opposite in phase. The vibrations of the four sectors generate four pressure waves: two positive pressure aves and two negative pressure waves. The four pressure waves generatred will interfere and produce a quadrupole shear wave in the formation. The pressure wave in the fluid caused by refraction of such quadrupole shear wave is detected by the detecting means comprising two detectors in the fluid spaced apart longitudinally from each other and from the generating means. Shear wave velocity of the formation may be determined from the time interval between the detections of the refraction of the quadrupole shear wave by the two detectors.

摘要： The multipole shear wave logging device of this invention includes a logging sonde, means for generating a 2.sup.n -pole shear wave in an earth formation surrounding a borehole containing liquid where n is an integer greater than 2, and means for detecting in the liquid the refraction of the 2.sup.n -pole shear wave. In the preferred embodiment the generating means comprises six similar sectors of a hollow piezoelectric cylinder. The six sectors are polarized radially and are so connected to the sonde that they are in the form of a split cylinder coaxial with the sonde axis. Electrical pulses of similar wave forms are applied across the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of each sector. The electrical pulses are of such polarities that adjacent sectors vibrate radially in substantially opposite phase. Circumferentially polarized sectors may also be used in the place of radially polarized sectors. The vibrations of the six sectors will generate compressional waves in the liquid which will interfere to produce an octopole shear wave in the formation. The compressional wave in the liquid caused by refraction of such octopole shear wave is detected by detecting means. The detecting means comprises two detectors in the liquid spaced apart longitudinally from each other and from the generating means. The shear wave velocity of the formation is determined from the time interval between detections of the refraction of the octopole shear wave by the two detectors.

摘要： The orientation of vertical fractures in subsurface rock formations is determined. A cross-dipole logging tool collects four-component shear-wave seismic data through a formation interval of interest in a subsurface formation adjacent a well bore. A gyroscope is typically provided to indicate compass orientation of the logging tool. The collected seismic data are then transformed within a time window containing arrivals of the shear waves to a new coordinate system within which the motion of the shear waves becomes linear. In the new coordinate system, the shear wave data are processed to determine the presence and orientation of fractures in the formation.
