Abstract

Focusing on the problem of low distribution of circumferential Previous HitimagingNext Hit electrodes in existing resistivity Previous HitimagingNext Hit instruments while drilling, a new instrument Previous HitimagingNext Hit electrode distribution scheme was designed. The new instrument arranges 8 circular Previous HitimagingNext Hit electrodes in the circumferential direction. They are placed in 2 rows in the longitudinal direction, and each row of Previous HitimagingNext Hit electrodes has different diameters. In this configuration, it is possible that it can not only perform full wellbore coverage scan Previous HitimagingNext Hit during composite drilling, but also obtain the Previous HitboreholeNext Hit images of 8 sectors with fixed orientation during slide drilling. Taking that into consideration, the complex horizontal layered strata, strata with circumferential anomalous bodies and horizontal well stratigraphic models were established, and analyzed the logging response and laws of the instrument in different stratigraphic models by using finite element method. The analysis results showed that this instrument had good longitudinal resolution, the longitudinal resolution of the Previous HitimagingTop electrode was equivalent to its diameter, which could identify the azimuthal strata with high resistivity accurately; the horizontal well strata interface had different effects on the various orientation measurements of this instrument. Further, the response of lateral measurement mode at the strata interface was similar to that of cable lateral logging. The instrument scheme has good applicability in complex strata, and in the future, the research results could be used to guide instrument development and data interpretation.
