bond quality measurements

The Sonic Scanner tool provides a discriminated cement bond log (DCBL) that
can be obtained simultaneously with the
behind-casing acoustic measurements.
The two monopole transmitters positioned
at either end of the Sonic Scanner tool
allow 3-ft and 5-ft cement bond log (CBL)
and cement bond quality measurements
that are independent of fluid and temperature effects and do not require calibration.
To demonstrate the DCBL measurement accuracy, a logging run made with
a Sonic Scanner tool is compared with
measurements from a CBT* Cement
Bond Tool. The DCBL measurements are
indicated in blue and the CBT measurements are in black. A very good match
is shown between the measurements
of the CBT tool and the azimuthally
averaged Sonic Scanner platform.
Figure 2. A very good match is shown between azimuthally averaged Sonic Scanner platform and CBT
curves (1). Curve scattering indicates 0.31-in eccentering (10 % of the internal radius) in the 7-in casing (2).
A good match between bond index measurements is indicated (3).

Figure 4. In this example, the high-gamma ray activity indicates a shaly interval. An isotropic zone (N = 0)
extends from XY,500 to XY,600 m, and a high-permeability zone exists from XY,005 to XY,100 m.
