CALIBRATION
JUNE 1986
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The CBL instruments are usually calibrated at the well in a free

pipe zone. Optionally, a CBL can be calibrated using a standard
calibrator of 5.5 inches and 15.5 lbs/ft of weight.
It is possible to adapt a Primary calibration done in the shop
calibrator to other environments like different pipe size, pipe
weight, etc. The calibration generated by this adaptation process
is called Secondary calibration. Requirements for the Secondary to
take place is to have some partially free pipe and a previous
knowledge of the pipe characteristics.
The Secondary calibration scheme is only available for 1415 and
1417 instruments when the mode is Alternate and the spacings are 3
ft for the short and 5 ft for the long. Other instruments may be
included in the future.
The instrument should be cleaned well and properly centralized when
performing any type of calibration. The standard calibrator should
be filled with water and pressurized to 600 lbs/in.2 (413 kPa or
42.13 kg/cm2).
The wireline has an important effect in the characteristics of the
acoustic signals. When performing a Primary calibration use the
same wireline that will be used in the well when logging. If the
truck or skid has two wirelines, two calibrations for the same
instrument may be performed using distinguishing identification
numbers.
Conductor 7 (center conductor) is recommended when using
monoconductor instruments with multiconductor lines. Do not use any
other conductor or combination of conductors.
Splicing cables of different characteristics (different dielectric
material) may have a detrimental effect on acoustic signals and
this practice should be avoided when possible.
All CBL calibrations done with a specific cable become questionable
when the cable is cut. Redo all the CBL Calibrations associated
with the wireline in question.
If the auxiliary instruments in the string use the same conductor
as the CBL to send the signal uphole, it is likely that they will
affect the amplitude of the acoustic signal.
Unless the CBL instrument has the Summing Junction modification,
the other instruments in the string will make the signal smaller.
Use the same configuration in the well as the one used in the
Primary calibration.
If the Summing Junction modification is installed in the CBL tool
and auxiliary instruments, it is not necessary to have the
auxiliary instruments in the string during Shop Calibration.

SHOP PROCEDURES
Use the Transportation Tube (aluminum pipe) only when testing the
instrument in its ability to send the acoustic signature uphole,
generate sync pulse, switching, gate off the radioactive
instruments or CCL or any other non-quantitative performance check.
A dummy calibration can be run in the aluminum pipe with the
purposes of testing the instrument. You should never use this as a
Primary calibration in a well.
General Information About the CBL Shop Calibrator (Refer to Figure)
The standard CBL Shop Calibrator is designed to provide a shop
calibration for CBL tools. The chamber construction includes a
section of standard 5.5-inch, 15.5 lbs/ft casing, type J-55 or
K-55, and an upper and lower pressure head. This allows us to apply
and maintain pressure inside the chamber during CBL calibration.
The pressure chamber is installed inside of a 16-inch liner that is
buried in the ground. The chamber is suspended in a tripod hanger.
After the chamber is installed, the 16-inch liner should be filled
with water. Once installed, the chamber should remain stored in the
liner even when calibrations are not being made. The water level
should be kept near the top of the liner. This procedure keeps the
5.5-inch casing wet at all times and insures good acoustic coupling
between the casing and the water during calibrations.
Occassionally, the pressure chamber may be removed from the liner
for maintenance or other reasons. If it is out of the water long
enough for the 5.5-inch casing to dry, it should be placed back in
the water-filled liner at least six hours before making a
calibration.
Preparing Chamber for Calibration
1. Unscrew the coupling on the upper pressure head.
2. Attach the hoist to the pickup bail and remove the pressure
head. The tool adapter head should already be installed on the
pressure head.
3. Assemble the CBL electronics and mandrel. Connect the adapter
head to the electronics.
4. Pick up the tool and attach the special bottom centralizer to
the mandrel. Lower the tool into the chamber. Be sure that the
O-ring on the pressure head seats properly. Tighten the retainer
coupling hand tight. It is not necessary to use a wrench.
5. On the surface, assemble the auxiliary tools that will be used
on the job such as CCL, GR and Neutron tools. Attach the truck
cablehead to the auxiliary tools. Connect the CBL tool to the
auxiliary tools with the umbilical cable. (Connecting auxiliary
tools not required if using Summing Junction.)

6. Equipment includes a hand operated pressure pump and two 8-ft

pressure rated hoses. Take the hose that has a quick connector
on each end and connect the hand pump to one of the pressure
fittings on the chamber pressure head. The other hose has a
quick connector on one end and a drain valve on the other end.
Attach the quick connector to the other fitting on the pressure
head. Open the drain valve two or three turns.
7. Connect the hand pump to the nearest water faucet with a good
quality garden hose.
8. Turn the faucet on. Water will flow through the pump into the
pressure chamber. When the chamber is full, water will overflow
through the drain valve.
Caution:
The city water pressure may force the pump handle to

the upward position very quickly. Avoid injury.
9. After water overflow through the drain valve is established,

close the drain valve (leave city water turned on). Apply
pressure to the pressure chamber with the hand pump until the
pressure gauge reads 600 psi. Leave this pressure on the chamber
for about one minute. Open the drain valve slowly about one turn
and let any trapped air escape. Water will start overflowing
through the drain valve again. Close the drain valve and bring
the pressure back to 600 psi. Calibration of the CBL tool can
now be performed. Monitor the pressure and keep it at 600 psi
plus or minus 50 psi during the entire calibration.
Calibration Procedure
Follow the instructions under Primary Calibrations.
Disassembling the Pressure Chamber after Calibration
1. Turn the power off.
2. Disconnect the surface tools and the umbilical cable.
3. Turn the water faucet off.
4. Open the drain valve several turns. This will drain pressure off
of the pressure chamber, and will also drain the city water
pressure off of the garden hose. Let the system drain until the
pressure gauge reads ZERO pressure. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
DISASSEMBLE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE GAUGE READS ZERO PRESSURE.
5. After the gauge reads zero pressure, all hoses can be
disconnected and stored along with the hand pump.

6. Unscrew the retainer coupling on the chamber pressure head.

Pull the CBL tool out of the chamber. Remove the bottom
centralizer and store it. Disconnect the tool adapter head from
the tool.
7. Install the special water tight thread protector on the tool
adapter head. Do not remove the tool adapter head from the
pressure head. Put the pressure head back on the chamber and
tighten the retainer coupling hand tight. The tool adapter is
normally stored in the chamber in this manner.
8. Store all loose equipment.
Caution:
Please note that both pressure fittings on the

pressure head are open fittings. These open fittings
act as a vent to prevent pressure build-up caused by
outside temperature variations.
Do not plug these
fittings when calibrator is not in use.
DOWNHOLE SWITCH POSITIONS

The 1415 instrument has a 3 position switch:
3 ft, 5 ft and
Alternate. You have to open the electronics cartridge to have
access to this switch.
The 1417 instrument will change to the different modes (3, 5, A)
when the line voltage is increased. Use the 3773 knobs to
momentarily increase the voltage between 180-200 VDC at the
cablehead. Decrease the voltage to 150 VDC at the cablehead and
observe if the sequence of wave trains (mode) is the one you need.
There should be consistency between the chosen downhole mode, the
Service Table selected and the answers to the questions of the
Calibration dialogue.
The BHC multiconductor instruments do not have selectable modes in
the sense CBLs have.
1609 instruments and some 1603 modified instruments have three
selectable sequences of firings. These sequences are different in
reference to the number of firings per cycle as well as in
reference to the gain applied.

Adjust the trigger level control on the scope to trigger on the

leading edge of the negative tool sync pulse. Adjust the top pot on
Card 10 in the 3764 for something that looks like Figure 1. Now
that the noise gate is set to be enabled for some time period
during each tool firing (not every other firing), it may be set
more accurately by changing the scope triggering.
Depress both the DUAL TRACE and CH2 buttons at the same time on the
scope. They should both stay in. Change the trigger slope to
negative (-). Adjust the trigger level control for a stable trace.
The left part of the CH2 trace should show the noise gate signal
low and then going high at a point in time coincident with the tool
sync pulse on CH1.
Now change the SEC/DIV on the scope to .2 msec. Then, adjust the
top pot on Card 10 so that CH2's signal is low for 1 chart division
(200 microseconds).
Depress the DUAL TRACE button which will cause the CH2 button to
disengage.
Now set the triggering source to EXT/10; change the slope to
positive (+); adjust the trigger level for a stable trace.
Change the 3764 monitor select switch to position 8 to check for a
100-microsecond wide pulse on CH2. This signal is being used to
trigger the oscilloscope, the pick pulse, and the H.S. A/D.
Once the noise gate is adjusted, the scope trigger should be moved
to the EXT/10 position to be triggered by the internally generated
sync pulse.
On the surface, unless the tool is in fluid, there will be no CBL
signal. However, when the CBL tool gates itself off the line
(approximately 1400 to 1800 mics after the sync pulse), there
should be a small glitch in the line. Check that no R/A pulses are
on the line between some 200 microseconds before the sync pulse and
the glitch.

Check that counter 1 (Position 11, -R/A) and counter 2 (Position

12, +R/A) are counting the R/A pulses. Counter 1 on the scope will
show the -R/A pulses positive. Also check that the counters are
being gated off for the first 1800 to 2000 mics. The sync pulse and
glitch, if present, will be greatly reduced in amplitude and the
baseline should be much straighter than the baseline where R/A
pulses are.
The change in mode in these instruments is obtained by correctly
positioning a switch marked 3, A, 5 in the 1415. You cannot change
mode in the 1412. The change in downhole gain is obtained by using
the bottom right button in the 3765 LCP.
Use the correct Service Table for the mode you selected in the
downhole instrument.
Note that the pick pulse is displayed at the start of the CBL
gates, not at the start of the half-cycle.
SCOPE SIGNALS FOR 1417
Refer to the Noise Gate Adjustment procedure to properly set the
noise gate.
The adjustment is with the top pot on Card 10, 3764 panel. This

Change the Monitor Switch to position 1 and check that the CBL
gates itself off from 1500 - 1900 microseconds after the
transmitter sync pulse and that no R/A counts appear on the
baseline for 1800 - 2000 microseconds after the transmitter sync
pulse. Step through the remaining two operational modes of the
instrument observing the change in the polarity of the sync pulses.
The change in mode is obtained by increasing the downhole cablehead
voltage to approximately 180 VDC and then going back to 150 VDC
using the knobs in the 3773 DC PSU. You still change the downhole
gain with the bottom right button of the 3765 LCP.
It is important to use the correct Service Table for the mode you
selected in the downhole instrument.

VDL FILM INTENSITY SETUP
The test switch position 3 located on the RAM micro controller

board plots a predefined bit pattern on film. The bit pattern has
10 gray levels (clear to black) that are used when recording a VDL.
Inspection of the pattern allows the user to adjust the plotter
intensity for the best VDL presentation. If the intensity is too
high, the shades of the pattern will be indistinguishable. If the
intensity is too low, the resulting pattern will be washed out.
Procedure:
With the plotters and CLS turned on, set the thumbwheel switch
located on the RAM micro controller board to position 3 and push
the TEST button.
Two 5/8" long gray level patterns will be plotted on film. The 1st
will contain 10 different shadings over the width of the film, and
the second will contain 6 shadings.
Because the plots are so short, you may want to push the TEST
button several times to get a piece of film long enough to develop
easily.
Develop the film and inspect it for the proper pattern. Adjust
intensity and repeat the process as necessary to obtain the proper
pattern.

CBL CALIBRATION
With the instrument inside the Standard CBL calibrator or in a free
section of the pipe to be logged, in liquid, put the downhole ledex
in a position so that the acoutic signal is not obviously
saturated. The instrument should not be in front of a collar.
In the dialogues below some questions may not appear if the
selected mode is Non Alternate.
Primary Calibration
A primary calibration of a CBL tool functions very much like the
old CBL calibration. However, a primary calibration that is made
in the CBL calibration pit is good only for that I.D. pipe and pipe
weight. It is obvious, that many wells you will need to log will
not have the exact I.D. and pipe weight as the calibration pit.
For this reason, we have implemented what we call a secondary
calibration which mathematically adapts the the primary calibration
made in the standard calibration pit to a new I.D. or pipe weight.
For this reason, certain criteria must be met by a primary
calibration if and only if a secondary calibration is desired to be
made from it. If you do not desire to generate secondary
calibrations, then ignore the following criteria.
The following criteria must be met by a primary calibration if it
is to be eligible to be mathematically adapted to a new environment
(i.e., pipe I.D. and weight).

In order to build a Secondary calibration an acceptable Primary

exist.
Answer all the questions properly. All the parameters you enter are
used and saved.
Unless you have installed and selected the summing juction
modification in your GR,NEU,CCL, and CBL tools, you must perform
the primary calibration with the same tools you will log with.
If the service is a CBL/RA combination, the GR and/or NEU must be
calibrated before connecting the CBL to the line. Use a service
table for GR/NEU ONLY (no CBL).
If a CBL is in the string, it gates off the Radioactive pulses.
The count rate that the surface system sees will be less than the
actual count rate of the instrument. The calibration of the RA
instrument won't be correct.
If the CBL is not in the string but the Service Table is for a
CBL/RA, the sync detector will be randomly triggered. The RA pulses
will be gated off by the surface gate. The calibration of the RA

TSUM CBL
A Calibration Summary may be

Secondary Calibration
The term 'secondary calibration' refers to a mathematical
adaptation of a previously performed primary to an environment
different from the primary calibration environment. Typically, the
adaptation is necessary when using the CBL Shop Calibration Pit and
then logging in a well that has a different pipe I.D. or pipe
weight. In addition, the fluid type in the well may necessitate
changing the CBL gate. These factors are taken into consideration
during a secondary calibration.
The main intention for allowing three different secondary
calibrations, labeled PIPE 1 through PIPE 3, is to allow the
engineer to adapt the primary shop calibration for up to 3
different pipe ID's or weights different from the primary (PIPE 0).
The engineer can then switch to the proper calibration by using the
'PIPE x' command where x is a value from 0-3. This can be done in
real time while logging.
The secondary calibrations for different pipes should be done while
going in the hole with the tool. Stop the tool in the casing and
perform a secondary calibration. Give this secondary a label of
1-3. The calibration will also ask you to move the CBL gate to the
proper position. In addition, you may set the signature separation
to a new value if you desire. At any time, if you change this
value, it becomes the new separation until you answer this question
differently. The separation does not change in response to the PIPE
command. Be careful not to use the default response if you have
changed the separation to a value different than the default value.
Note that if you leave the secondary calibration parameters the
same as what was entered for the primary calibration, the result is
a secondary that is exactly the same as the primary except for its
label.
Keep in mind that you do not need to be in 100% free pipe to
perform a secondary calibration. You only need enough signal to be
able to identify and set your CBL gate.

Continue to drop down to the next pipe size (or weight) and then
perform a secondary calibration for this pipe. Give it a label
different from 0 and the one you selected above.
Repeat this step for one more string of casing if necessary then
drop to the bottom of the lowest interval to be logged. Be certain
that you have the proper calibration selected for the pipe you are
in before you start logging by using the 'PIPE x' command. Start
logging up. As you go from one pipe to the next, use the 'PIPE x'
command to switch from one calibration to the next. All calibration
information for each pipe is kept in memory.
NOTE:
The offset of the system may have

changed between the primary and the
secondaries due to a change in surface
or tool gain. The software will not
correct for this problem. Possible
offset problems may be identified in
tool ledex position 6.
CBL should

Check this when

NOTES ON CBL CALIBRATION
Determination of the First Arrival at Calibration Time by the

Software
1.
Optimize the gain for no saturation of any of the arrivals in

the wave train.
2.
Within the limits of a window (PPT or LPPT + 100 mciroseconds)

look for the left-est arrival that complies with
amplitude that is larger than 1/5 of the largest arrival
in the wave train
width is (7 samples F width F 32 samples); 1 sample = 2
microseconds
preceding negative arrival has at least an area equal to
1/5 its own area
Primary CBL Calibration

The process consists of:
1.
Finding the first arrival within a window of 200 microseconds

centered on the theoretical value PPT. The start of the CBL
gate is displayed in the scope.
At the start of the process and each time the user enters R to
the SLCT R)ECAL, P)RINT, D)ONE, C)ANCEL question in the
Primary calibration, a re-calibration is performed. The user
can override the FSYSCB's choice of the first arrival by
moving the CBL gate manually.
2.
Optimizing the surface gain so that the maximum sample of the

first arrival is as close as 5 volts as possible without being
larger than 5 volts.
3.
Calculating the area of the first arrival half-cycle of the

wave train. This area is equated to 100% CBL (Engineering
Units High) by using a provisional multiplicative factor.
4.
Calculating the offset and the Additive (A) and Multiplicative

(M) factors.
Remember to return to the correct downhole gain setting after you

cycle the ledex.
If during the calibrating process the 40% step reads more than
acceptable, use a lower step of the downhole position as the 100
position. Larger pipes usually will require higher gains (#1
downhole position) and smaller pipes may require lower gains (#3
downhole position).

CALIBRATION
JUNE 1987
Let's assume that we calibrate the CBL instrument in a downhole

switch position so that the 40% position actually reads 60%. If
the instrument was not saturated it would read (60/40)*100 = 150%
in free pipe.
It is important to position the CBL instrument far from a collar to
calibrate it. After the system has been calibrated the free pipe
of the well should be searched to make sure that the CBL was
calibrated in the free-est pipe. If the CBL curve reads over 100%
and goes into its back-up trace consistently, the CBL must be
re-calibrated.
The MIN POS reading is used to determine the combined offset of
Card 11 in the 3764, the offset of the High Speed Analog to Digital
converter and the difference in the potential of the different
grounds.
Secondary Calibration
A Secondary calibration allows the user to partially modify a
Primary. This is not a true calibration in the sense that no true
calculation of the Multiplicative factor is done. The user can
re-position the gates.
The Multiplicative factor is affected by a correction factor that
depends on the pipe weights of the Primary and Secondary
calibrations.
Let's assume that xx.xx is the pipe weight entered in the Primary
and that yy.yy is the pipe weight entered in the Secondary.
The correction factor will be
Factor = Kyy.yy / Kxx.xx
where
Kxx.xx = 100/{Cs - 10 ** [As + Bs * (xx.xx)]}
and
Kyy.yy = 100/{Cs - 10 ** [As + Bs * (yy.yy)]}
The constants As, Bs, Cs are dependent on the T-R spacing.

GENERAL
1.
SRT Detection Method

The SRT is detected at a zero crossing. This means that if the
offset is very small, the so-called stretching problem will
not exist. If there is a negative bias, the stretch will be so
that when the amplitude of the arrival decreases, the SRT will
decrease. If there is positive bias, when the amplitude of the
arrival decreases, the SRT will increase.
The software uses the trailing edge of the arrival as a
detection point; then it subtracts two half cycles to
determine SRT.
This scheme should give a reasonable match between SRT and PPT
in most cases if the instrument is wired with the correct
polarity.
The Engineer should check offset in Card 11, 3764 Panel so
that it is slightly positive.
2.
Area Method
Different companies use different methods to evaluate the
energy of the first arrivals.
With the introduction of the first CLS units capable of
recording CBLs, it was found that by measuring the area of the
first arrival rather than the amplitude, the result was a CBL
reading less susceptible to noise.
The area method may be an advantage over the peak measurement
when centralization of the CBL instrument is a problem. The
peak value seems to decrease faster than the area of the first
arrival when the instrument is not properly centralized.

CBL 33
CEMENT BOND LOG

CALIBRATION
JUNE 1987
The CBL Gate (time window over which the area is computed) is
larger than the width of the first arrival. In effect, it is
approximately equal to one complete period of the acoustic
compressional arrivals. Up to approximately 15 microseconds
change in SRT due to fluid change will not have an important
influence in CBL readings.
The offset is measured during the calibration process. It is
used to affect the CBL readings. If the offset is positive,
it will be properly taken out to compute CBL. If the offset
is negative, the system cannot properly compute CBL at very
low signals.
If the log exhibits sections where the CBL or LCBL curves are
clamped at the low values, the diagnostic is that the offset
is negative.
The Engineer should check offset in Card 11, 3764 Panel so
that it is slightly positive.
3.
Tool Configuration
Although 4, 5, 6, and 7-ft T-R spacings are allowed for CBL
calculation (the software will support it), only the 3-ft
spacing is recommended.
For VDL and SIG, 5-ft spacing is recommended.
As can easily be observed in the Dresser
Interpretation Charts (Table 8-7; Cement
from Acoustic Cement Bond Log), the 3-ft
spacing gives a better resolution in the
amplitudes of the acoustic signal.

Internal Formulae:
SRT (Single Receiver Time Short Space) (mics) Computation
-
SRT (mics) is the computed time from the sync pulse up to the
trailing edge of the first arrival minus two times the width
of the first arrival short space wave train.
LRT (Single Receiver Time Long Space) (mics), same as SRT but
using the Long Space wave train.
The samples of the time series are two microseconds apart. The time
is computed with more precision than 2 microseconds by the use of
linear interpolation.
SRT, LRT Noise Gate:
There is a noise gate used when logging to avoid picking in noise.
The noise gate is calculated so that SRTs as small as the ones
resulting with formation travel times of 40 microseconds/ft travel
time and no gap between the pipe and the borehole is allowed. The
noise gate position is calculated as follows:
Find the SRT detection point at calibration (SRTc)
SRT noise gate = SRTc - ( (57 - 40) * (T-R spacing) )
SRT, LRT Threshold:
A threshold and other criteria are used to validate the first
arrival for SRT,LRT.
SRTH (A/D units) = (0.5 * SSUM) + 0.02 * SSUMc

Offset:
CONVENTION:
Downhole position #1 is the one that provides largest
gain to the acoustic signal. Minimum position is the one that
provides no acoustic signal but only sync pulses. Usually this is
position #6.
Offset is calculated measuring the positive and negative samples
inside the CBL window.
The engineer is requested in the Calibration Process to switch the
downhole instrument to its minimum position. The software measures
the positive samples (positive area) and the negative samples
(negative area) within the CBL or LCBL window.

LOGGING SPEED
The maximum logging speed is 50 ft/min (15.2 m/min).
LOG HEADING - REMARKS
In addition to standard heading information (tool type, tool
centralizers, hole (bit) size, casing size and weight, BHT, BHP,
time of logging job, etc.), include the following in the Remarks
section:
T-R spacing used for CBL, SRT and VDL. (API recommended spacing is
3 feet for CBL and SRT, and 5 feet for VDL.)
Cement job information, containing at least the following data:
amount and type of cement, and chemicals added to the cement.
mud type, composition of preflushes.
date and time cement pumping stopped (total cement curing time
is determined by comparing with the log date and time in the
heading).
whether pipe was reciprocated during cementing.
whether returns were observed.
planned depth of cement top.
pressure during cementing, maximum internal pressure applied

to casing during setting time.
theoretical compressive strength of cement.
State how and where the tool was calibrated.

Location of repeat sections.
State whether logged under pressure or not.
A well sketch showing all casing sizes, weights, the depths at
which each string was set, perforations, centralizers, scratchers,
retainers, packers, float collars, DV tools, etc.
Cement squeeze job details (if any).
Anomalies on the log due to centralizers, DV tools, packers,
cement baskets, etc.
Directional survey information.

REPEATABILITY

LOG ACCURACY

LIMITATIONS AND AMOMALOUS RESPONSES
If no free pipe of correct size is present or a valid master
calibration has not been performed, a quantitative CBL log cannot be
recorded due to the effect of casing weight on signal attenuation.
Centering the logging tool inside the casing is absolutely necessary
for accurate casing signal amplitude data. Tool centralization is
confirmed by monitoring the SRT (single-receiver travel time) log in
free casing. SRT measurement is very sensitive to the eccentering
of the downhole tool, and should show no more than 2 microseconds
variation over the free pipe interval, except in casing collars.
Record at least 200' of log in unsupported casing well above the
cement top to determine the travel time value for casing. In
unsupported casing the only factors which normally cause variations
in travel time are tool eccentering and casing collars.
The SRT should be a straight line with short increases in travel
time at the gap in casing collars. The travel time should be within
2 s of the expected value for a particular tool, casing size and
fluid density. This limit ( 2 s) allows for variations in casing
fluid weight, casing weight and manufacturing specifications. SRT
values outside these limits indicate tool eccentering giving poor
amplitude data.
Logging speed is normally dictated by the speed requirements for the
Gamma Ray (30 ft/min (9 m/min). Logging speed may be increased in
some cases, if necessary to improve collar picking, but road noise
must be kept to a minimum. Logging too fast may also cause early
arrivals (short SRT times) for direct-coupled signals.
Before- and after-log film verifications of free (or poorly
supported) pipe should be at same depth.
The main log should be recorded over the free pipe verification
interval or a 80 ft (25m) section must be logged over this interval
if it is remote from the logging interval.
Collars on the VDL, CBL and SRT should agree with the collar log,
and show correct T-R spacings for the individual measurements.

NOVEMBER 1994
CBL -- LQ-5
LIMITATIONS AND AMOMALOUS RESPONSES (Cont'd)
Plotter intensity should be set correctly to obtain a uniform
lightest gray base line.
CBL and SRT should generally agree with information on the VDL
taking into consideration that the long (5') VDL signal attenuates
more than the short (3') signal. In good bond conditions and fast
formations the CBL curve may appear anomalous with respect to the
VDL due to the first T-R arrival moving out of the fixed CBL gate.
The SRT in free (or poorly supported) pipe should read the PPT value
or slightly above. The difference is due to assumptions made in PPT
calculation about travel path and fluid travel time/velocity.
Collar indications on CBL and VDL should generally be apparent for
CBL greater than 20%, except in the case of microannulus.
Where good bond is indicated the formation signal correlates well
(in mirror image) with the open hole acoustic log on signature/VDL
plots.
When running CBL for free casing (i.e. for abandonment programs),
record 100 ft (30m) of cemented casing and log to surface to show
whether pipe is free over the whole interval to be cut and
retrieved.
Indications of a microannulus are usually shown as partial bonding
over at least several hundred feet. Re-logging with pressure in
the casing over the interval shows increased bonding and confirms
the presence of a microannulus.
CALIBRATION/VERIFICATION
CALIBRATION
Calibration is done in situ in a free pipe section of the well
being logged. Amplitude is set to 97% of the pipe value for the
well casing.
Surface system linearity is checked by varying a downhole precision
attenuator to 40, 16, 6.4, 2.6 and 1% of the full signal.
VERIFICATION
No primary or before log verification required. After log
verification repeats calibration steps above. Each verification
value should match the calibration within 3%.
