Foreword
Once data have been acquired, it must be validated. This task is possible if a set of
references is available.
This manual contains the presentations recommended by Anadrill. These standards are to be used whenever the customer has not expressed any special request.
While the use of special formats may be desirable by a limited group of persons, they
may create inconvenience if the data are shared between partners or communicated
among different departments of the customer organization.
Anadrill personnel are trained to acquire the best data possible, but because the
measurements are performed downhole in an environment that cannot be exhaustively described, the accuracy, correctness or completeness of log data cannot be
guaranteed.
In addition, large variations in well conditions require flexible procedures, and
in some cases, deviations from the guidelines given in this manual may be observed.
These deviations may not affect the validity of the data collected but could reduce the
ability to check that validity.

Introduction
This publication is the reference document for the Anadrill Data Quality System (DQS).
It contains standards to validate data quality in two areas:
Operation
Environment
Operation is further divided into three categories:
Presentation
Calibration
Operating Procedures
How to use this manual

General checks that apply to most measurements are described in Part 1 with sections covering
each of the above areas of interest. Specific checks for individual services are covered in Part 2,
which is arranged in alphabetical order by measurement type.
Data quality control monitoring and reporting

Data quality control is performed at two levels, the first at the wellsite and the second at the
shop during job debriefing. These two controls are designed to be complementary. Wellsite checks
help the engineer and the customer representative detect anomalies while there is still time to take
corrective action. Shop checks evaluate the overall performance and provide feedback to improve
operating procedures. They also represent the last opportunity for the crew to collect auxiliary
information that might have been omitted during the acquisition process.
The Data Quality Report worksheet, shown on the next page, is used to report the results of
the data quality control. The worksheets are used by Anadrill management to identify areas where
corrective action is needed.
One vertical column on the worksheet is used for each survey rather than each curve or print.
For example, a CDN* Compensated Density Neutron log requires two or possibly three columns,
one for the density information (comprising the density curve [Rhob], the density correction curve
[Delta rho] and the photoelectric factor [Pe]) and one for the neutron information (corresponding
to the neutron-derived porosity, Tnph). When caliper information is acquired, a third column
related to the ultrasonic caliper may be added.
Any area of concern is noted with a number in the appropriate box. This number corresponds
to a comment written in the Remarks section on the right-hand side of the form. The remarks are
grouped in two subsets, one related to the operation and one linked to the environment. Even
though the borehole environment is generally not under the control of Anadrill personnel, it is
useful to report on the effect of the environment on the drillpipe-conveyed measurements. The
information collected is used to optimize future drilling and mud planning. The following pages
include blank and filled-in Data Quality Report worksheets.

Presentation
General
Two different recording modes are used in measurement-while-drilling logging operations:
a. Real-time, where data are transmitted to the surface while the sensors are in the
borehole.
b. Recorded (memory) mode, where data are stored downhole in a digital memory.
Real-time information has the advantage a being immediately available, while recorded mode
information can only be retrieved after the logging tools are brought to the surface. Because realtime and recorded mode data have different applications, they are presented in slightly different
ways. It is highly recommended that both real-time and recorded mode logs are archived and kept
for further reference.
Real-time log
Real-time mud pulse transmission of primary processed log data can be achieved. As the data
rate is limited to a few bits per second, only limited quantities of data are handled.
Following is the standard order of presentation of a real-time log, from top to bottom:
a. Heading
b. Main Log
c. Tail
A real-time log covers only one run or section of a run and is used mainly to make timely decisions. For this reason its content is limited to essential information that enables the most time-efficient delivery.
Recorded/composite log
The tool is programmed before running in the hole, and the data are dumped to the surface
system via a readout port on return of the tool to surface at the end of the drilling bit run. The
DataLatch* tool, available with the LINC* tool, permits retrieval of the information and reprogramming of the tool while it is still downhole.
Following is the standard order of presentation of a recorded mode log, from top to bottom
(real-time information from separate runs may be included in a composite log):

Data Quality Report
Compressed scale logs (1/500, 1/600, 1/1000 or 1/1200) may contain only headings, remarks,
main log and tail.
TVD logs should display a listing of the surveys used to make the TVD calculation. A well plot
showing the vertical projection of the well is also recommended as an aid to interpretation.
The following applies to both recorded mode and real-time logs:
Shallow run information should be followed by deeper run information.
As different depth scales are generally used by different users or departments in the customers organization, it is recommended that logs with different depth scales be prepared with different headers that identify the service type and the depth scale. Depth
may be in units of feet or meters as requested by the customer.
The log itself consists of several curve tracks and a depth track where depth entries scale
the long axis. Typically there are three curve tracks, 1 to 3 from left to right. Some curves
may cover more than one track.
The depth track separates tracks 1 and 2. The presentation of the depth numbers may
help clarify the conditions of acquisition of the information.
a. Normal (straight) numbers indicate a recorded mode/measured depth
recording.
b. Boxed numbers indicate a real-time recording.
c. Italic numbers indicate a TVD presentation.
Some deviation from this standard presentation is allowed if specifically requested by the customer. The rest of the section defines the checks for log presentation. Local requirements may
require a presentation format that is different from that described here.

1. Header, insert, tail accuracy and completeness

Header
The heading contains critical well information; great care must be taken to ensure this information is entered correctly and completely. Some aspects of particular importance include:
a. Header information must be complete; services should correspond to standard service names.
b. The run number must be consecutive from the first time the tool goes below the
rotary table. From then onward, this number is incremented by one even if the same
tool is run. Relevant operational data should be updated for each run. If the log
contains several runs, the label Composite is used.
c. Elevations and coordinates are confirmed values.
d. Correct spelling is used.
e. For clarity, each recorded parameter should be linked to the appropriate unit
(e.g., ft, ohm-m).
f. Abbreviations should follow the standards of the Schlumberger Oilfield
Services Communications Handbook (accessible via World Wide Web at
http://www.sugar-land.oilfield.slb.com/), which are summarized in the Nomenclature at the end of this document. Another good reference for unit abbreviations
is the RP 66 document published by the American Petroleum Institute: Recommended
Practices for Exploration and Production Data Digital Exchange. Common anomalies are
observed while abbreviating inch (in.) and foot (ft).
g. Information provided by the customer should be displayed in a consistent manner.
Customer, field and well names should not be shown differently in the header,
inserts and tail. This information must be carefully checked with the customer.
h. Down style, or conservative use of capital letters, is preferred. Information should
be presented in lower case with an initial capital (sentence case).
Real-time and recorded mode headers are displayed in the next two pages. While the real-time
header is concise and relates only to the most recent information available, the recorded mode
header summarizes key information on the entire well that has been logged. For recorded mode,
specific run information is reported in the Bit Run Summary.
Recorded mode and real-time headers

The box that contains the logo should have the following information:
Recorded mode or real-time mode

Measured depth or true vertical depth
Depth scale (1/200, 1/500, 1/240, 1/600, etc.).
Real-time parameters:
The update rate is the rate at which data are recorded in the downhole tool.
The transmission rate is the rate at which the data are transmitted to surface.

Bottomhole assembly (BHA) sketch

A BHA sketch is a standard feature of the log. It includes distances from sensor measure point
to bit bottom. An example of a BHA sketch is shown on page 11.
a. All tools and equipment that are used are listed with their type and serial number.
Annotations can be used if the software does not print the tool numbers automatically.
b. Stabilizer size and location are accurately described.
Some measurements are sensitive to the way the tool is centralized. For this reason, the BHA
description must be accurate.
Bit Run Summary

The Bit Run Summary is split into four sections:
a.
b.
c.
d.
General depth and time information

Mud data
Environmental data
Recording rate and filtering information.
An example of a Bit Run Summary is shown page 12. Note that several bit runs may be performed with the same BHA.
Out of courtesy to the customer, full names should be used.
Curves/scales/inserts
These standards should be followed for curves, scales and inserts:
a. Curves and ticks in the depth track are correctly labeled and displayed.
b. All labeling is neat and does not mask important data.
c. Scales are selected for optimum data presentation and agreed upon with the client. The
insert scales are correct.
d. Appropriate log quality control (LQC) indicators or flags are present (i.e., not disallowed).
e. Inserts should appear at the beginning and end of each log (including repeat) section.
f. Possible changes of tool/service in a composite log are reported (i.e., 16-in. short
normal to CDR* Compensated Dual Resistivity tool, or RAB* Resistivity-at-the-Bit tool
to CDR tool).
TD/CSG/FR/LR identification
The total depth (TD), casing shoe (CSG), first reading (FR) and last reading (LR) are correctly
labeled.

Bit run summary

Well sketch
Many measurements are affected by the relative geometry of the well and of the formation
beds. Especially in the case of a nonvertical well, the well sketch is useful to enable the dip-related
corrections. The well sketch is compulsory for highly deviated wells.
Tail
Information in the tail such as Client, Field and Well names should match the information shown
on the header. Examples of a Data Quality Report insert and tail are shown on pages 14 and 15.
Data Quality Report insert

This insert can be completed manually by the customer representative, discussed with the
Anadrill crew at the wellsite or sent to an Anadrill office. It is located after the tail so that it can be
separated from the log and addressed to the Anadrill organization.
2. Data traceability
Environmental corrections
The accuracy of a measurement strongly depends on control of the environmental corrections.
The log must have a clear statement as to whether environmental corrections have been applied.
The input parameters to the corrections are reported in the Bit Run Summary. If they are changed
during the bit run, the depth and time of change are clearly recorded along with the
parameter in the Remarks section.
Mud data and conditions

Many measurements are sensitive to changes in mud characteristics. Accurate environmental
corrections are possible only if mud data are available. Every time the mud is changed (weight,
composition, etc.), a new set of mud parameters must be reported.
Of particular importance are the mud-related resistivities (Rm, Rmf and Rmc). Performed at surface with devices such as the Electronic Mud Tester (EMT) and Digital Mud Tester (DMT), they are
used as inputs to the environmental corrections software.
Some logging tools are unable to perform a satisfactory measurement in some mud environments such as oil-based mud and salt-saturated mud.
Before the job is run, the MWD/LWD service must reviewed with operating company
personnel.

Data Quality Report

Anadrill 15
Tool numbers
Numbers of all tools and auxiliary equipment (e.g., nuclear sources) are reported on the BHA
sketch for each run. This is the only way to relate questionable data to the hardware that has been
used. Of particular importance is the match of the tool numbers reported in the BHA sketches
with the tool numbers shown in calibration tails. Surface acquisition unit numbers and depth system numbers must also be reported.
Software versions
The measurements-while-drilling process requires the use of several software programs:
a. in the downhole string (Note that different downhole tools may have different software
versions.)
b. to decode the signals sent uphole and produce the real-time data
c. to process recorded data, apply calibrations and environmental corrections, and
generate the log products.
For the acquired data to be correct, all these different software versions have to be compatible.
For this reason, software version numbers must be clearly identified.
Important constants listed

Relevant constants used by the Surface Acquisition System or configured within the downhole
tool for calculations appear as part of the log, in Inserts. Where relevant constants are not listed
automatically, these constants are displayed in the Remarks section of the log header.
Filtering
Filtering is useful in the presence of noise as it removes erroneous indications that do not relate to
the formation. Excessive filtering may also obliterate the fine features of the formation. For this reason, the zones that are subjected to filtering are indicated. The characteristics of the filter are reported.
3. Print quality
The print is the working document and must meet the following requirements:
a.
b.
c.
d.
The print has good contrast with a clean white background.

The paper is clean and uncrumpled.
The log print is parallel with the edge of the print paper.
The heading is positioned properly relative to the paper folds.
If the client requires a real-time log to be faxed, it is essential that the fax is readable. The use
of colors in such circumstances is discouraged.

4. Remarks/annotations/quality control indicators

Remarks
Remarks are important and must be used for nonstandard circumstances dealing with tool
operation, log presentation, anomalies, special requests, customer orders or authorizations that
change the standard operational procedures.
It is compulsory to make remarks concerning the following:
a. intervals that have been reamed or repeated, or washed down after drilling, to recapture data lost due to surface system failures
b. mud changes
c. drilling problems
d. objective of the log or run
e. well conditions (while drilling, reaming, washdown, etc.)
f. sequence of logging
g. pertinent tool or system configuration constants with full spelling of mnemonics
h. results of log
i. any information or incident, whether hardware, software or environmental, that may
have a bearing on the quality or interpretation of the log: gas-cut mud, stabilizer wear,
sliding/rotating measurement mode, loss of transmission of data, etc.
j. Any pertinent drilling process data or operations details such as bit type, tight hole,
stuck pipe, lost circulation, etc., are noted in the Remarks section.
k. any difference between real-time and memory mode recordings.
Annotations
a. All bit runs and changes in bit size must be clearly labeled.
b. All curves must be labeled every 1000 ft or 300 m on the extended scales (1 to 240,
equivalent to 5 in. per 100 ft and 1 to 200). Compressed scales do not require
annotation.
c. Unusual circumstances must be reported in boxes affixed to any curves that appear to
be of controversial quality.
d. Casing point is shown.
e. Splice depths are labeled where they occur for each curve.
f. Annotations must not mask any pertinent data.
Anadrill 17
Tool Quality Control log

The stability of the logging tools is checked by the analysis of the Tool Quality Control logs.
Tool Quality Control logs (QC logs and tech logs) are available for most tools and should be presented to the customer. The curves on such logs usually represent factors such as internal tool voltages, currents, phases, attenuations, counting rates and timing signals, status words, etc. They are
used by the logging engineer and instrument technician to evaluate tool operation and aid in troubleshooting, should this prove necessary.
Tool quality curves can be used to qualify the standard log readings, and therefore ranges of
expected values are given for most of the tool quality curves. Readings outside the ranges do not
necessarily indicate a tool malfunction but require investigation by Anadrill personnel. However,
when the curves read within the expected range, one can be reasonably sure that the portions of
the tool providing the outputs are working properly.
Tool quality curves allow the data user to distinguish tool effects from formation effects. In the
case of a partial failure, the Quality Control log helps identify the faulty section of the tool and
may permit data recovery by using redundant sensors.
Time after drilling

BHA requirements generally dictate the location of the MWD/LWD tools, but, in general, the
closer to the bit, the better. In addition to reducing invasion effects, moving the MWD/LWD tool
closer to the bit has other advantages. When the tools are close to the bit, the information can be
used to allow quicker changes of direction. When a directional driller wants to make a course
correction or change a drilling parameter, he has less footage to drill before he sees the effect on
the course of the well. When a marker must be spotted, such as in locating a casing or coring
point, less hole is drilled before the marker is surveyed.
A large pressure overbalance caused by high mud weight can contribute to deep invasion, but
it can also exacerbate the problem by reducing the rate of penetration (ROP) and extending the
delay between drilling and logging. In some cases, an overbalance problem can be mitigated by
good mudcakethat is, if there exists a classic case for deep invasion, such as high permeability
coupled with high overbalance. Invasion may still be limited if a layer of tough, impermeable
mudcake forms.
Washouts that affect logging-while-drilling measurements may be reduced by shortening the
elapsed time between drilling a formation and logging it. The factors that contribute to depth of
invasion often affect washout.
Therefore, variance in the time after drilling can affect the tool responses. Time after bit
curves are available for each tool, and it is useful for one of these to be displayed on the log to
highlight those zones that have been exposed to the borehole fluid longer than others. These zones
are common due to the drilling process.
18 Anadrill
Sliding indicator
Two drilling modes are used:
In rotary mode, the drillstring and the bit are rotated from the surface either by a rotary table
on the derrick floor or a motor in the traveling block, called a topdrive. The sensors scan the
formation in all directions around the axis of the sub.
In sliding mode, only the bit rotates and the drillstring slides along after the bit. The sensors
do not rotate. Some measurements may be affected or invalidated by the lack of rotation. The
sliding indicator displayed as a flag on the print is useful for highlighting those internals where
the drillstring was sliding. This sliding indicator might be depth referenced to a particular sensor
when it is most relevant.

Calibration
1. Definitions
(Master) calibration
Calibrations for the sensor systems are performed in the district shop or at the wellsite using
test equipment and procedures as outlined in their respective maintenance manuals. The calibration information makes the measurements of the downhole sensors reproducible from tool to tool.
Verification
Operational checks, also called verifications, are performed at the wellsite. The before-survey
verification proves to the Anadrill crew and to the customer that the equipment is functioning as
expected and is ready to run in the hole. The calibration coefficients determined during the shop
calibration are not adjusted during the verification.
If a particularly harsh environment was encountered downhole (jarring, sticking, excessive shocks),
the wellsite after-survey verification eliminates doubts about tool performance during the bit run, confirms the tool still functions and quantifies any change that may have occurred during logging.
Anadrill policy regarding verification is the following:
Considering that
a. logging-while-drilling tools are more rugged than the tools conveyed on wireline (and
therefore less prone to transportation-induced failures)
b. the verification equipment required for logging-while-drilling tools is inherently less
accurate because of their size
c. the verification must be performed at surface temperature, a condition that does not
reflect the downhole environment
d. the parameters observed during the verification are not used during the logging phase,
the verifications are optional. Close scrutiny of the technical Quality Control curves at the
time of the master calibration and during logging guarantees the stability and proper functioning
of the tool in a more appropriate fashion.
22 Anadrill
2. Calibration Summary listing

The Calibration Summary reports the results of the master calibration. These calibrations are
typically made on a quarterly basis. The tool is calibrated to match a pre-established standard.
Calibration summaries have evolved to graphical formats that allow the Anadrill crew and
customer representative to check the validity at a glance. On color prints, acceptable values are
displayed with a yellow flag, while questionable values are linked to a red flag.
On a black-and-white print, acceptable and questionable values are shown with a different
area coding. An example of a calibration is shown on page 24. Questionable values do not invalidate the log but call for comments from the Anadrill crew or support staff.
3. Calibration checks
When checking the Calibration Summary, the following detailed checks should be made:
a. The calibration is attached.
b. The calibration date has not expired.
c. Calibration tool numbers, tools and sources used, and tool numbers on the BHA
sketches must be the same.
d. Values must be within tolerance, or expected range.
e. Compatible software versions must be used.
Checks b. and d. are performed automatically by the software and displayed in the Calibration
Summary Listing (CSL), and the calibration tolerances are highlighted graphically.
In addition to the run-by-run checks described above, Anadrill maintains a file that describes
the technical history for each tool including previous calibrations.
Detailed calibration tolerances are listed in the log sections.

Operating Technique
1. Depth control
Basic depth control system
The Anadrill depth system comprises two sensors:
Precision Depth Assembly (PDA) with Drawworks Encoder Sensor (DES) and Depth
Wire Calibrator (DWC)
Clamp Line Tensiometer (CLT).
These sensors are used to measure and determine the movement of the traveling block, eliminating movement not related to the movement of the drillstring.
The DES measures the incremental amount of movement from the traveling block and is calibrated for each layer of drawworks line on the cable drum with the DWC. The CLT detects and
discriminates drill line movement not related to pipe movementfor example, when the drillpipe
is in the slips for connection. The CLT uses a multipoint hook load calibration attached to the dead
line.
When the measured load from the tensiometer is above a preset threshold, the depth is incremented by the measured drill line movement, indicating a change in the depth of the tool assembly. When there is movement of the drill line and the measured hook load is below the preset
threshold, the depth measurement is not incremented.
The measured depth is the sum of the lengths of each stand of the drillpipe, as reported by the
driller. Each joint is measured with a steel tape on the catwalk before it is picked up to be added to
the drillstring. After the pipe is measured on the catwalk it is used for drilling.
Too much weight on the bit or pulling on a stuck drillstring may compress or stretch the pipe.
This causes a difference between the values that are measured on the catwalk and the strapped
values in the derrick. Before a critical operation, such as coring or a directional run, the pipe
stands are strapped in the derrick. This operation provides a good check of depth, but may cause
confusion as a difference between the original tally and the strapped figure may be observed.
Heave measurement
When logging on floating rigs, compensation must be made for heave caused by the up and
down motion of the sea. Floating rigs often use a motion compensator to help dampen this effect.
The Heave Compensation Assembly is currently in use for taking this measurement.
The Heave Compensation Assembly is made of two identical retriever sensors, each driving an
optical shaft encoder. One encoder is used to measure the rig motion compensator extension; the
other is used to measure the rig guideline tensiometer extension. A dedicated digital input module
within the surface system is able to use the encoder data and to calculate the incremental heave
motion used in the depth processing.
Anadrill 25
Anadrill depth policy

Anadrill depth policy ensures that consistent depths are recorded on different runs and wells.
1. Anadrill MWD/LWD depth is the drillers depth.
This means that it is not corrected for pipe deformations due to pressure, flow, weight
and temperature.
2. The Precision Depth Assembly is the standard depth system.
The Depth Wire Calibrator is the reference for the Drawworks Encoder Sensor. A
calibrated Clamp Line Tensiometer is required to automate depth tracking.
3. Depth shifts should not be made in any zone of interest.
4. All editing of raw depth/time files must be documented.
The edited file must be reproducible from the raw data and the depth editing record.
The depth editing record (and depth tracking monitor) must be stored as part of the
final data archive. The Depth Tracking Monitor (DTM) software performs these functions in the IDEAL* system.
Since all Anadrill depth measurements are based on measuring the drillstring, or drillers depth,
it is important to realize the environmental effects that influence the depth derived from drillpipe
measurements. Such effects have been documented for a 10,000-ft well and are listed below.
Factor
Potential Error
Drillpipe stretch
Thermal expansion
Pressure effects
Ballooning effects
Other effects
15- to 20-ft increase

3- to 7-ft increase
6-ft decrease
3-ft decrease
Total
In deviated holes and with certain formations, depth mismatches may be observed as logging
sensors have different depths of investigation. The same situation may occur when high dip bedding planes cross the borehole.
Depth-matching of overlapping sections on subsequent logging runs should be within 2 ft.
All depth measurements have potential errors that must be managed.
2. Rate of penetration (logging speed)

Rate of penetration is analogous to cable speed in wireline logging. A faster drilling rate
means fewer data points over a given interval. In severe cases, a characteristic saw-tooth pattern is
observed on the curve. Statistical measurements (all nuclear logs fall in this category) are particularly affected. A gamma ray (GR) curve, a density curve or a neutron-derived porosity curve may
not repeat well if it is recorded when drilling with a high ROP.
26 Anadrill
This problem is compounded when multiple thin beds are surveyed as they require a higher data
density. Also, high ROP at a contact between two zones may cause boundaries to appear smoothed.
Failure to review the goals of data acquisition prior to logging the well can result in qualitative
information when quantitative data could have been achieved at little additional cost.
The table below gives a way to evaluate repeatability at a given ROP when the specification
has been written for a different ROP.

To use the table, read the repeatability specification in the appropriate tool section. This number is related to a given ROP. Select the appropriate number in the left column. Then enter the
actual ROP used during logging in the upper row. This double selection corresponds to a parameter at the intersection of the row and of the column. If the parameter is larger than one, repeatability has improved. If it is smaller than one, repeatability has deteriorated. To obtain the repeatability
that applies to a specific well, divide the specification repeatability by the coefficient.
For instance, consider the ADN* Azimuthal Density Neutron tool with a 9.875-in. stabilizer
in a 9.875-in. hole. The statistical repeatability of the (average) bulk density at 200 ft/h for a
2.5 g/cm3 formation is 0.008 g/cm3. At 400 ft/h, the repeatability is divided by the coefficient
0.71 (the square root of the logging speeds ratio).
Repeatability at 400 ft/h = Repeatability at 200 ft/h/0.71 = 0.011 g/cm3
An elementary check of the ROP is made with tick marks that indicate a measurement has
actually been taken:
a. Tick marks for all key measurements (resistivity, neutron, density) should be present
on both real-time and recorded mode logs.
b. A data density better than two samples per foot is obtained unless a different data
density is requested by the customer.
Anadrill 27
3. Repeat section/response in known conditions

Repeat sections
Considering the different rates of penetration and the fact that the borehole environment (e.g.,
invasion) varies, the repeatability between different passes cannot be tested quickly. The data must
be normalized so that both passes are analyzed as if they had been recorded in the same conditions.
Qualitative repeatability analysis is still useful for identifying gross tool malfunction.
If the formation is quickly changing with time (e.g., rapid invasion), the repeat section cannot
be used to perform a repeatability test. Running the repeat section is still useful as the formation is
observed in a time-lapse fashion. Inferences on the changing characteristic of the formation (e.g.,
invasion) can be made.
Response in known conditions

Whenever possible, formations with known characteristics are used to verify the proper functioning of the tool. Lists of known formation characteristics are found in each specific tool chapter
of this manual. The casing can also be used to check the downhole behavior of some tools.
Comparison real time versus memory

Recorded mode: The data are stored in the tool and dumped to the surface computer on return of
the tool to surface at the end of the bit run.
Real-time mode: By adding the Anadrill MWD tool, real-time transmission of primary processed
log data can be achieved. Simultaneous directional and drilling mechanics data are also obtained
from the MWD system. A special crossover sub provides the connection between the LWD and
MWD subs, allowing the transmission of the LWD data in real time. Since the mud pulse transmission can only handle limited quantities of data, the raw data are still dumped from memory
between bit runs to provide more complete data sets.
Sync words and parity checks are used by the software to validate the transmission of
real-time data.
Before the final log is given to the client, the real-time and recorded logs are compared to
ensure that any difference is understood and explained. The final log provided to the client is
mostly derived from recorded mode data and contains more complete corrections. For this reason,
it is possible that the real-time and recorded mode recordings differ because of the difference in
corrections, filtering options, sampling, etc., that are applied. These differences are reported in the
Remarks section of the heading.
28 Anadrill
4. Operating anomaly/failure/missing data/transmission loss

The drilling environment is challenging for the sensors and downhole electronics. Exception to
standard procedures (operating anomaly) and hardware failures may not be completely eliminated. Missing information or data may result. When real-time information is required, mud attenuation, extraneous noise or hardware failure may result in the lack of transmission of the data
acquired downhole. The customer should be made aware of these conditions, as no data are
preferable to invalid data that are not identified as such.
5. Data validation
In addition to the checks shown in the previous sections, the validity of data must be checked
in three areas:
reporting of anomalies
agreement with other (potential) sources of information
validation of digital data.
Reporting of anomalies
Any nonstandard procedure or value should be reported in clear terms. Remedial action, if
taken, should be described without ambiguity and in a technical and professional manner.
Agreement with other sources of information

If information is available from a different source (neighboring well, cutting description, wireline log), every effort should be made to explain differences. Differences do not invalidate one or
the other source of information but should follow a reasonable pattern. For instance, wireline logs
are far more sensitive to mud invasion and borehole degradation than logs acquired while drilling.
Taping quality
The log data tape contains a much larger amount of information than the print/film; therefore,
the quality and completeness of the acquisition tape are checked. This requires making a playback
from the tape on a reduced depth scale and/or with another curve presentation. A data tape verification listing is performed to confirm data integrity.
Standard mnemonics are listed in Part 3.
Digital quality standards are listed on the next page.
Anadrill 29
Preparation
a. The specific digital needs of the customer must be defined before the acquisition phase.
b. All auxiliary information has to be captured during job preparation.
Physical support
a. Use only new tapes for delivering data to the customer. Previously recorded data have
a good chance of being decoded and loaded along with new data, which may cause
confusion.
b. Standard tape labels should be used. An example is shown at the bottom of this page.
c. Tape format, density and maximum record length are to be marked on the tape box.
d. Each file must be documented on the tape box (run number, start, stop); extra
information can be added when dealing with special cases.
Structure
a. Tapes are in a structure that can be read by the customer.
b. Tape density and record length conform to the customers specifications.
Content
a. The tables in every file contain full and correct data (i.e., all the parameters necessary to
reproduce the petrophysical measurement).
b. A tape should be concise and clean.
c. All data channels for the service requested must be included on the tape. The tape
should not contain any unused data channel and should not miss any essential channel.
d. Data channels must be verified by a listing.
e. The tape also contains the data for all the repeat runs/sections made.
f. The tape contains at least all the files presented on the print.
g. Tapes follow the chronological or logical sequence of runs. Any anomaly is clearly
documented on the tape box with a separate label.

1. Definitions
Operating range
The instrumentation used in logging tools is designed and built for a range of operating conditions called the operating range. The ranges of borehole temperature, size, flow rate and fluid type
are given in each log section. When tools are run outside their intended ranges, results may or
may not be reliable, depending on such factors as exposure time (for temperature), combinations
of borehole size, mud and formation properties, shocks and vibrations.
Maximum dogleg severity

The recommended maximum dogleg severity that the tool should be subjected to. Different
values are given for sliding and rotating. It should be noted that the dogleg severity (DLS) of the
tool is not the same as the DLS of the hole.
Equivalent bending stiffness

The length of a standard drill collar that would have the same bending stiffness (in
ft-lbf/degree). For example, a 23.5-ft CDR tool is equivalent to 27.4 ft of 6.5-in. standard collar.
Bending strength ratio

The ratio of the bending strength of the box connection to the bending strength of the pin. It is
defined by API.
Maximum weight on bit

The buckling load. Exceeding this maximum is undesirable. At best, excess collar wear is
observed; at worst, permanent bending of the collar may occur.
Maximum jarring load

A real limit. It is the worst-case prediction of overload strength of the pin connection.
Maximum torque (pin yield)

A hard limit based on through yielding of the pin connection by overtorque. It is defined by
API as the torque to yield a rotary-shouldered connection.
Anadrill 31
Joint make-up torque

A global standard with a range. During a reliable operation, the value stays within this range.
Maximum rotary torque

Standard drilling practice sets maximum rotary torque as a fixed fraction of make-up torque to
avoid downhole make-up of the connection.
Measuring range
The measurement specifications of a sensor are met in a range that is limited. This range is
defined by minimum and maximum values.
Measurement specifications
Within the measurement range, the sensors are expected to meet a number of measurement
specifications. Generally, the sensor behavior is described by four parameters:
accuracy
precision
depth of investigation
vertical resolution.
These values often vary with the value measured. Therefore, these parameters must be linked to
the values and conditions for which they apply. Each tool section contains a list of specifications.
2. Environmental effects
Environmental effects are consequences of specific conditions in the borehole or formation and
are outside the control of Anadrill, provided proper operating procedures have been followed.
Any preventive or corrective action, if feasible, would be under the customers control.
Environmental effects are classified into five categories:
Irregular operation
Possible origin
a. excessive ROP
b. excessive shocks (frequency and magnitude)
c. excessive downhole vibrations
d. excessive flow rates
e. excessive surface noise (e.g., from pumps).
32 Anadrill
Borehole geometry
Possible origin
a. hole shape
b. hole size
c. hole rugosity
d. threaded hole
e. mud-induced fractures.
Borehole fluid
Possible origin
a. mud type
b. presence of barite
c. presence of solids (e.g., lost circulation material)
d. salinity
e. additives (e.g., KCl)
f. gas-cut
g. unstable emulsion.
Interferences
Possible origin
a. nearby casing or fish
b. debris
c. formation of unusual mineralogical composition or texture
d. magnetic interference from the drillstring.

Possible origin
a. temperature
b. pressure
c. hole size
d. high shock levels (excessive magnitude)
e. value of logged parameter (tool run outside measuring range)
f. flow rates
g. drilling parameters.
When data quality is affected by such environmental factors, details should be recorded in the
Remarks section of the log header and on the Data Quality Report worksheet.

ADN Azimuthal Density Neutron Log

The ADN Azimuthal Density Neutron collar provides bulk density,
photoelectric factor (Pe) and neutron-derived porosity. Ultrasonic standoff measurements are available on the 63 4-in. size tool (ADN6). The validation of the
ADN measurements is performed separately for the density (including Pe), the
neutron porosity and the ultrasonic caliper. In practical terms, three separate
columns are used for density, neutron porosity and ultrasonic caliper in the
Data Quality Report. ADN4, the 4 34-in. collar, is covered in the VISION475
chapter.
Bulk density
The density section of the tool uses a 63-GBq (1.7-Ci) 137cesium (Cs) gamma
ray source in conjunction with two gain-stabilized scintillation detectors to
provide a borehole-compensated density measurement. The tool also measures
Pe for lithology identification.
Tool response
Laboratory measurements and mathematical modeling have been used
to define the density and Pe response and to quantify environmental effects.
These effects include gamma ray streaming, mud weight, tool standoff and
photoelectric factor of formation and mud on density.
The laboratory measurements involve placing the tool in the Environmental Effects Calibration Facility (EECF) reference formations, which contain a
variety of quarried rock slabs and different mudcakes/boreholes with accurately known densities and Pe values. The apparent density values are then
corrected back to the known values, and the correction factors are stored for
future application in a real well. Calibration formations range from 1.00 g/cm3
to 3.05 g/cm3.
Neutron porosity
Fast neutrons are emitted from a 370-GBq (10-Ci) 241americium-beryllium
(Am-Be) source. The quantity of hydrogen in the formation, in the form of
water or oil-filled porosity, primarily controls the rate at which the neutrons
slow down to epithermal and thermal energies. Neutrons are detected in
near- and far-spacing He3 detector banks, and ratio-processing transforms are
used to provide an output in porosity units (p.u.) for a sandstone, dolomite or
limestone matrix.
Tool response
The ADN tool has been placed in reference formations in the EECF for
its primary calibration. The reference formation porosities are accurately
known, and the measured neutron porosities are calibrated to read the known
values.

Calibration
Density
Master calibration: The ADN density calibration process uses three blocks
to compensate for stabilizer position and wear. These points are from
aluminum (7075), magnesium (AZ31B) and water reference blocks. The
aluminum block has a bulk density of 2.70 g/cm3 and Pe of 5.70, and the magnesium block has a bulk density of 1.69 g/cm3 and Pe of 2.53. Counting rates
are monitored during the calibration and compared to specified tolerances.
Expected counting rates depend on the physical size of the stabilizer. This
means that minimum and maximum values accepted for counting rates could
vary between successive calibrations of the same tool (as the stabilizer wears
and radius is reduced). The water block is used to verify the quality of the calibration. The procedures apply to density and Pe measurements. Typical measurement time is 30 min for each block.
Optional field verification: The density scintillation detectors each contain
a small radioactive source that provides a relatively constant level of gamma
radiation at a specific energy level. The field verification currently involves
monitoring the counting rates emitted from these detectors before and after
a job and ensuring that they stay within specified tolerances. These backgrounds should not vary with time.
Neutron porosity
Master calibration: The master calibration makes use of a large water-filled
tank. The calibration uses two points corresponding to two different neutron
porosities.
Ultrasonic caliper
The ultrasonic caliper has an optional wellsite verification. A test plug
is pressed against the sensor and a reasonable reading should be obtained.

Operating Technique
Tool positioning and makeup
The ADN source must be positioned correctly within the source receptacle
for the calibration to be valid. Following the standard procedures, which are
mandatory for safety reasons, ensures correct source positioning.
When the tool is sliding, HORD, VERD, SOAx, SOXx and SONx are not
valid. Unless the density windows are oriented down, the density measurements may also be incorrect. Tool orientation can be achieved by using the
ADN orienting sub (ADOS).

The following table shows typical density and neutron porosity values.
Such values should be observed after corrections have been applied.

DRHO reads nil or positive values, except when the material in front of the
pad is more dense than the formation (such as in heavy muds and barite).
DRHO can be used to assess the quality of RHOB. If the correction is too large,
then RHOB validity is doubtful.
The ultrasonic caliper can be checked against the casing internal diameter
while the ADN tool is in the casing if the tool is rotating. See the USC section
for casing ID values. This does not apply if the tool is sliding.

Rate of penetration
Expected data density is a minimum of two data points per foot.
Repeatability specifications are provided for a logging speed of 200 ft/h. At
different logging speeds (rates of penetration), repeatability is proportional to
the square root of the logging speed ratio.
If alpha processing is desired, the tool is configured for a maximum logging speed of 50 ft/h with a 10-s recording rate for the density parameters.

ARC5 Array Resistivity Compensated Log

The ARC5 Array Resistivity Compensated tool is a borehole-compensated,
2-MHz array resistivity tool with a 4.75-in. collar diameter, developed for resistivity logging-while-drilling applications in slimholes ranging from 5.75 to 6.75
in. The ARC5 tool makes multiple borehole-compensated phase shift and
attenuation resistivity measurements using a multispacing borehole-compensated antenna array with five physical transmitter-to-receiver spacings. Five
independent borehole-compensated phase shift and attenuation measurements
are made at 2 MHz, providing five vertically matched phase shift resistivity
measurements and five vertically matched attenuation resistivity measurements with increasing radial depths of investigation. Vertical matching does
not compensate for artifacts caused by 3D formation effects (e.g., dipping
beds).
With five vertically matched curves, any separation is due to radial variations in resistivity or anisotropy. The transmitter-to-receiver spacings were
chosen to provide a wide range of radial depths of investigation so that earlytime invasion can be detected and evaluated from a few inches up to a few feet
in diameter. Quick-look interpretation is possible from the simple visual display of the five vertically matched phase shift resistivities (identification of
tight zones, hydrocarbon-bearing versus wet zones, and indication of moveable hydrocarbon).
Resistivity measurements are complemented by a gamma ray measurement
performed with a plateau sensor (NaI detector). Shocks are measured by a
transverse-mounted accelerometer. Internal tool temperature is also recorded.
Primary calibration
The basic transforms from attenuation and phase shifts to resistivities were
developed from computer modeling. To accurately calibrate the transform,
ARC5 measurements were made in a 15-ft diameter water-filled tank with
resistivities ranging from 0.1 up to 26 ohm-m (fresh tap water).

Calibration
Master calibration
The master calibration for the ARC5 tool is an air measurement. This
involves placing the tool on a wooden support, 12 ft above the ground and
away from any other conductive structures, and measuring the phase shift and
attenuations in air. All phase shifts and attenuation measured downhole are
referenced to this air-hang measurement. There is no need for additional calibration of the electronics, since borehole compensation cancels electronics and
sensor drifts while logging.
59 Anadrill
ARC5
ARC5
60 Anadrill
The gamma ray measurement is calibrated using a blanket-type gamma ray

source of known strength. A measurement is made without the blanket to get a
background value. A second measurement is taken with the blanket wrapped
around the collar at the point where the GR detector crystal is located. The difference between the two values is calculated and compared to the known
value of the blanket. From this, a gain is computed.
Field verification (optional)

At the wellsite, the ARC5 tool can be checked by making an air measurement while the tool is on jackstands or hanging in the derrick. While the attenuation and phase shift values will not be exactly the same as in the air calibration, they should be of similar value. The gamma ray sensor can be checked by
using the blanket source to see that the GR value measured is correct. This system can be used before and after each tool sequence of bit runs with the same
tool in order to verify proper functioning of the resistivity measurement.
Calibration coefficients are not adjusted.

Tool configuration
The ARC5 tool is designed to run in boreholes ranging in size from 5.75 to
6.75 in. It has wear bands with an outside diameter of 5.25 in. It can be run
with or without stabilizers in any 4.75-in. drillstring. It should be run with a
saver sub at the top if it is used in recorded mode. The only constraint when
running the ARC5 tool is that it must be located directly below the Slim 1*
universal borehole assembly when run in real time.

The relative positions (values) of the different curves depend on the values
of Rmf and Rw, the respective saturation, depth of invasion and borehole
effects.

In impermeable zones such as shales, the curves will match each other (provided that the effects of overpressure, shale hydration and anisotropy are
ignored).
In front of permeable zones, and keeping in mind Rw and Rmf values, the
relative position of the curves should show a coherent profile. Curves should
follow the Rxo/Rt contrast, with the shallow reading close to Rxo and the deeper reading closer to Rt. The relative position of the curves could still be distorted in the presence of annulus.

There are three different tech logs for the ARC5 tool.
ARCTAMP
This log presents the raw amplitude of the signal received at each receiver
from each of the five transmitters. The 10 curves are plotted against time along
with the gamma ray, depth and shock information above. The amplitude
curves vary with apparent resistivity and should track together. Any amplitude that is different from the others might indicate a problem with that transmitter.
ARCTAPS
This log presents the raw attenuations and the raw phase shifts measured
between the two receivers from each of the five transmitters. The 10 curves are
plotted against time along with the gamma ray, depth, shock and status word
map. The phase shifts and attenuations vary with apparent resistivity and
should track together. Any measurement that is very different from the others
could indicate a problem with a transmitter. Any flag on the status word map
could indicate a hardware failure within the tool. In such cases, the log should
be examined carefully.
ARCTRES log

ARCTRES
This log presents the computed phase shift and attenuation resistivities
from each of the five transmitters. The 10 curves are plotted with the gamma
ray, depth and shock information above. The resistivities vary with the apparent resistivity and should track together. This can be different for the shortspacing attenuation resistivities, which can saturate in resistivities higher than
20 ohm-m. Any other measurement that is very different from the others could
indicate a problem with a transmitter. Because signals from several transmitters are used when computing a single resistivity, one transmitter failure may
affect several curves.
Operating range
Borehole fluid
The ARC5 tool can be run in all types of mud (including oilbased mud). In very saline muds, the borehole effect could be
a large part of the measured signal. In this case, the accuracy
of the measurement may be questionable.

CDN Compensated Density Neutron Log

The CDN Compensated Density Neutron tool provides a density, photoelectric factor (Pe) and neutron-derived porosity. The CDN tool exists in two
different sizes, 6.5-in. and 8-in. diameter. The validation of the CDN measurements is performed separately for the density (including photoelectric factor
and an optional caliper) and the neutron porosity. In practical terms, separate
columns are used for density and neutron porosity in the Data Quality Report.
The 8-in. CDN tool also has an ultrasonic caliper, which is covered in the USC
chapter.
Density
the photoelectric factor for lithology identification.
The density source and detectors are positioned inside the collar, behind a
clamp-on stabilizer in the case of the 6.5-in. tool, and behind integral stabilizer
blades in the case of the 8-in. tool. The blades exclude mud from the path of
the gamma rays, greatly reducing borehole effect. If the hole becomes enlarged
(i.e., the position of the tool with respect to the borehole is uncertain), formation density measurements made while drilling can be adversely affected. The
measurement that results is then an average reading of the formation and a
combination of formation and mud. The CDN tool often gives a more accurate
response by using the rotational density.
Rotational density
In addition to the spine-and-rib technique, a special density measurement
technique has been developed to correct the presence of standoff. It is based on
the processing of the distribution of the measurements as the tool rotates. It
allows the computation of the maximum and minimum densities encountered
by the tool during the sample period. The density variation that the tool
encounters around the borehole is computed using this statistical approach.
The density counting rate is sampled rapidly, and the standard deviations of
the many samples are computed. This is compared with the expected standard
deviation that is computed from the average counting rate of the same period.
In an in-gauge hole, the measured and predicted standard deviations are about
equal. In a hole that has become washed out or oval, the measured deviation is
larger than expected. The difference is used to calculate the maximum density
that the tool has encountered. When the drilling mud is less dense than the formation, the maximum density computed is that of the formation.
The measured density contrast is proportional to the mud and formation
densities and the amount of hole enlargement. Laboratory data are used to calibrate this contrast such that the amount of enlargement can be calculated. The
result is an empirical differential caliper (DCAL) value, which is a useful
quality indicator.
Tool response
Laboratory measurements and mathematical modeling have been used
to define the density and Pe response and to quantify environmental effects.
These effects include gamma ray streaming within the drill collar, sensitivity
to the weight of mud between stabilizer blades, tool standoff and photoelectric
factor of formation and mud on the density.
The laboratory measurements involve placing the tool in the
Environmental Effects Calibration Facility test pit that contains a variety
of quarried rock slabs with precisely known densities and Pe values. The
apparent density values are then corrected back to the known values, and the
correction factors are stored for future application in a real well. Calibration
formations range from 1.00 g/cm3 to 3.05 g/cm3.

72 Anadrill
Neutron porosity
Fast neutrons are emitted from a 278-GBq (7.5-Ci) 241americium-beryllium
(Am-Be) source. The quantities of hydrogen in the formation, in the form of
water- or oil-filled porosity, primarily control the rate at which the neutrons
slow down to epithermal and thermal energies. Neutrons are detected in nearand far-spacing He3 detector banks, and ratio processing transforms are used
to provide an output in porosity units (p.u.) for a sandstone, dolomite or limestone matrix. The energy of the detected neutrons has an epithermal component because a high percentage of the incoming thermal neutron flux is
absorbed as it passes through the 1-in. [2.54-cm] steel wall of the drill collar.
Also, a wrap of cadmium under the detector banks shields them from thermal
neutrons arriving from the inner mud channel. This mainly epithermal detection practically eliminates adverse effects caused by thermal absorbers in the
borehole or formation.
Tool response
The CDN tool has been placed in reference formations in the EECF for its
primary calibration. The reference formation porosities are precisely known,
and the measured neutron porosities are calibrated to read the known values.

Calibration
Density
Master calibration: The CDN density measurement uses a three-block calibration to compensate for stabilizer position and wear. Two points are from aluminum (7075) and magnesium (AZ31b) reference blocks. The aluminum block
has a bulk density of 2.70 g/cm3 and Pe of 5.70, and the magnesium block has
a bulk density of 1.69 g/cm3 and Pe of 2.53. Counting rates are monitored during the calibration and compared to tolerances. Expected counting rates
depend on the physical size of the stabilizer (a thicker stabilizer would absorb
more gamma rays). This means that minimum and maximum values accepted
for counting rates may vary between successive calibrations of the same tool
(as the stabilizer wears out and gets a smaller radius). A third point (water
block) is used to verify the quality of the calibration. These procedures apply
to density and Pe measurements. Typical measurement time is 45 min.
Optional field verification: Each density scintillation detector contains a small
radioactive source that provides a relatively constant level of gamma radiation
at a specific energy level. The field verification currently involves monitoring
the counting rates emitted from these detectors before and after a job and
ensuring that they stay within specified tolerances.
Neutron porosity
Master calibration: The secondary or shop calibration makes use of a large
water-filled tank. The calibration uses two points corresponding to two different neutron porosities.

Operating Technique
The CDN source must be positioned correctly within the source receptacle
for the calibration to be valid. Following the standard procedures, which are
mandatory for safety reasons, ensures correct source positioning.
When the tool is sliding, there will be no rotational correction. Unless the
density windows are oriented down, the density measurements may be
incorrect. Tool orientation can be achieved by using the ADN orienting sub
(ADOS).

The following table shows typical density and neutron limestone porosity
values. Such values should be observed after corrections have been applied.

DRHO can be used to assess the quality of RHOB. If the correction is too large,
then RHOB validity is doubtful.

Rate of penetration
Expected data density is a minimum of two data points per foot.
Repeatability specifications are provided for a logging speed of 200 ft/h. At
different logging speeds (rates of penetration), repeatability is proportional to
the square root of the logging speed ratio.
If alpha processing is desired, the tool is configured for a maximum logging speed of 50 ft/h with a 10-s recording rate for the density parameters.

CDR log presentation. Resistivity time after bit

The CDR Compensated Dual Resistivity tool is an electromagnetic propagation and plateau gamma ray tool (optional spectral gamma ray) built into a
drill collar. It responds to conductivity, operates in water- or oil-based muds,
and provides two depths of investigation. The CDR tool is available in five
sizes: 6.5 in., 6.75 in., 8.0 in., 8.25 in. and 9.5 in.
The CDR tool broadcasts a 2-MHz electromagnetic wave and measures the
phase shift and the attenuation of the wave between two receivers. These
quantities are transformed into two independent resistivities that provide the
two depths of investigation. The phase shift is transformed into a shallow
resistivity (phase shift resistivity, Rps); the attenuation is transformed into a
deep resistivity (resistivity from attenuation, Rad). The CDR tool has upper and
lower transmitters that fire alternately. The averaging of these phase shifts and
attenuations for the upward and downward propagating waves provides borehole compensation which reduces borehole effects in rugose holes, improves
the vertical response, increases measurement accuracy and provides quality
control for the log. An electrical hole diameter can be computed for conductive
muds from the CDR data and can be used as an input to hole size corrections.
Detection of 6-in. [15.2-cm] beds is possible with the CDR tool. However,
because of shoulder bed effects, Rps and Rad read too low in a thin, resistive
bed with conductive shoulder beds. Enhanced resolution processing is available for relative dips less than 45 deg (known as QRO processing). Details
about the gamma ray measurement are covered in the GR chapter.
Primary calibration
developed from computer modeling. To accurately calibrate the transform, CDR
measurements were made in a 15-ft diameter water-filled tank with resistivities

ranging from 0.1 up to 26 ohm-m (fresh tap water).

Calibration
Master calibration
The master calibration for the CDR tool is an air measurement. This
involves placing the tool on a wooden support 12 ft above the ground and
away from any other conductive structures and measuring the phase shifts and
attenuations in air. All phase shifts and attenuations measured downhole are
referenced to this air-hang measurement. There is no need for additional calibration of the electronics, since borehole compensation cancels electronics and
sensor drifts while logging.
Optional field verification
At the wellsite, the operation of the CDR tool can be checked with a clampon fixture that couples the transmitters and receivers and simulates three different conductivities. This system can be used before and after each tool
sequence of bit runs with the same tool in order to verify proper functioning of
the resistivity measurement.

Operating Technique
Tool positioning
No stabilizer should be positioned around the CDR antennae.

After borehole correction and bed thickness corrections, the relative positions and values of the Rad and Rps curves depend on the value of Rmf and Rw,
the respective saturations and the depth of invasion.
In impermeable zones, such as shales drilled with fresh mud, and zones
where insufficient time has passed for any significant invasion to take place,
Rad and Rps match each other (provided that the hole is in gauge, and the
effects of overpressure, shale hydration and anisotropy are negligible).

Borehole correction
The propagation signals are affected by the borehole, which generates a
signal function of hole diameter and mud conductivity. The CDR borehole corrections are shown in charts Rcor-12 and Rcor-13 in the Schlumberger Log
Interpretation Charts book (1996, SMP-7006). In resistive muds (Rm 1 ohm-m),
the CDR tool is largely insensitive to borehole effect, even for large holes (17
in.). In conductive muds (Rm < 0.2 ohm-m), the CDR can experience some
borehole effects. The output entitled PCAL is available for conductive muds; it
computes hole diameter and is corrected for Rad and Rps.
Bed thickness correction

CDR log bed thickness corrections are shown in charts Rcor-11a, -11b and
-11c in the Schlumberger Log Interpretation Charts book (1996, SMP-7006). For
wells with a relative dip 45 deg, the Enhanced Resolution Processing program
(QRO, see below) can be used to match the vertical resolution of Rps and Rad to
1-, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-ft resolutions.
QRO processing
The Qualitative Resistivity Overlay (QRO) is designed to match the response
of the CDR outputs with the AIT* Array Induction Imager and dual induction
logs in order to facilitate comparison of the two measurements. In this process,
the responses of the phase and attenuation curves are matched to each other.
This processing uses Rad and Rps as inputs and produces three resistivities as
output. These outputs are matched to three Phasor* induction curves or five
AIT curves.
The processing is based on the observation that the CDR response is hardly
affected by dip effects if the relative dip is smaller than 45 deg.

Gamma Ray Log

Anadrill offers several gamma ray tools using scintillation detectors. For
the basic gamma ray service, the output is expressed in API units. The CDR
tool can provide a spectral GR that splits the GR signal into its potassium (K),
uranium (U) and thorium (Th) components.
Primary calibration
A primary calibration was initially performed at the University of Houston
potassium-uranium-thorium test pits with several tools. A matrix of coefficients was derived from these measurements and formed the basis for splitting
the GR signal into its K, U and Th components.

Calibration
Master calibration: The calibration uses a radioactive blanket calibrated to the

API test pit. This blanket is a sheet of rubber impregnated with radioactive
material (monazite) with known K, U and Th values. The blanket is wrapped
around the GR tool, and the total count rates are calibrated to the known values. Gain and offset values are computed.
The steps that follow correspond to the spectral gamma ray section of the
CDR tool. Similar information is collected for different tools. Refer to other tool
sections or to the calibration tail to obtain the latest tolerances.

ISONIC Sonic-While-Drilling Log

Tool description
The ISONIC* sonic-while-drilling tool acquires digitized waveforms and
provides compressional delta-t through slowness-time-coherence (STC) processing. This processing identifies coherent arrivals across the array of four
receivers. The STC results (delta-t, coherence and arrival time) as well as
amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio can be telemetered uphole and/or stored
in downhole recording memory. Configuration options to save waveforms,
intermediate STC results and quality control data in recording memory are
also available.
Primary calibration
The sonic transit time is checked in a pressure well with thick steel walls
(reading should be 58.5 s/ft). In addition, the sonde is checked in a pool
where water should be read (189 2 s/ft).

Calibration
Master/before/after
A test box determines whether the tool is operating correctly. The test box
completely checks out the operation of the sonic tool from its transmitter to the
STC processing of the four receiver waveforms. The test box waveforms are set
for delta-t of 54, 72, 126 and 144 s/ft. The test box measurements are accurate
to 3 s/ft. As the tool is further developed, other ways of testing the tool may
be designed.
Operating Technique
Tool positioning
The ISONIC tool is run with or without a stabilizer, though the use of a
stabilizer is preferred. The ISONIC tool should be located at least 40 ft from the
bit.

Shallow hole test
The ISONIC tool may not give a reliable casing transit time at a shallow
hole test (less than 1000 ft) because of low hydrostatic pressure. The tool reads
55 to 63 s/ft with a high semblance value in free or poorly bonded pipe
below 1000 to 2000 ft (true vertical depth).

Tech logs
ISONIC_TLog
This is the main tech log for the ISONIC tool. It is a snapshot of the operating conditions of the run and should be generated on a systematic basis. It
features the status word on track 3. Track 1 has DTCO, delta t computed
downhole, and the gains and stack sizes used for all four receivers for rapid
troubleshooting. The battery-switching indicator BATV is on track 2 along with
tool temperature (STMP), the firing voltage (SPHV) and LTBV, which indicates
whether the tool was powered by the MWD tool.
ISONIC_4VDL_TLog
This log displays a VDL versus time for all four waveforms. It is similar
to the VDL versus depth shown on page 107 with the difference that track 1
has the receiver 1 waveform instead of DTRA.

RAB bit and ring resistivity log
The RAB Resistivity-at-the-Bit tool makes lateral resistivity measurements.

As a formation evaluation tool, its application is limited to conductive muds,
though it is still a useful tool in geostopping applications. It may be run in several configurations and provides up to five resistivity measurements. The RAB
tool contains a scintillation gamma ray detector, which supplies a total gamma
ray measurement. An azimuthal positioning system allows the gamma ray
measurement and certain resistivity measurements to be acquired around the
borehole. Additional measurements are chassis temperature and radial and
longitudinal shocks.
The RAB tool has a nominal 6.75-in. diameter; it is meant to be run in
8 1 2 - or 9 7 8-in. holes. Designed to be a flexible component of the bottomhole
assembly, the RAB tool may be connected directly behind the bit or further
back in the bottomhole assembly. The tool may be configured for packed or
pendulum assemblies.
When connected directly to the bit, the RAB tool uses the lower portion (8
in.) of the tool and the bit as a measure electrode. In this configuration, it provides a bit resistivity measurement, RBIT, with a vertical resolution just a few
inches longer than the length of the bit. A 1.5-in. tall cylindrical electrode,
located approximately 3 ft from the bottom of the tool, provides a focused lateral resistivity measurement, ring, with a 2-in. vertical resolution, independent
of the location of the RAB tool in the bottomhole assembly. In addition, the
RAB sub has three longitudinally spaced button electrodes that provide staggered depths of investigation. As the tool rotates, azimuthal measurements are
acquired from the button electrodes.
The resistivity measurements are corrected for bit size, mud resistivity and
borehole temperature. Gamma ray measurements are corrected for mud
weight and bit size.
Primary calibration
The transforms from measured voltages and currents to resistivities were
RAB measurements were made in a 15-ft diameter tank filled with liquid with
resistivities ranging from 0.1 ohm-m (salty water) up to 2800 ohm-m (de-ionized water).

Calibration
Master calibration
The resistivity master calibration for the RAB6 tool is run to determine the
calibration coefficients for the bit, ring and button resistivity sensors. A precision resistance standard is connected onto the tool, and a measurement is
made. Calibration coefficients are computed, then stored in the tool. The
gamma ray master calibration is consistent with that of the CDR tool.
Field verification (optional)

At the wellsite, the operations of the RAB tool can be checked with a
clamp-on fixture that presents a simulated resistivity environment to each of
the resistivity sensors. Similarly, a gamma ray verification can be made.

Operating Technique
Tool positioning
RAB button measurements have a shallow depth of investigation by
design, in order to be sensitive to shallow invasion. When the RAB tool is centralized in an 8.5-in. hole, the buttons are 3 16 in. from the formation.
Controlling this standoff ensures correct measurements. Therefore, proper centralization is recommended.
Sampling
RAB measurements have a high vertical and azimuthal resolution. To make
the most of the vertical resolution, the optimal sampling density is greater than
one sample every inch. At the maximum sampling interval of
5 s, the optimal sampling density can be achieved for rates of penetration
up to 60 ft/h. Achieving this vertical sampling is most important when imaging.

RAB processing automatically corrects the resistivity measurements for frequency effects (skin effect) and the effects of the borehole. Routines to derive Rt
from the multidepth measurements are being developed.
In impermeable zones such as shales and in zones where insufficient time
has passed for any significant invasion to take place, the measurements from
the ring, deep button and medium button will match, all reading Rt.

Calibration
Master calibration: The gamma ray measurement is calibrated using a
blanket-type gamma ray source of known strength. A measurement is made
without the blanket to get a background value. A second measurement is taken
with the blanket wrapped around the collar at the point where the gamma ray
detector crystal is located. The difference between the two values is calculated
and compared to the known value of the blanket. From this, a gain is computed.
Operating Technique
Tool positioning and tool accessories
A clamp-on device should not be put over the gamma ray measurement

Ultrasonic Caliper (USC) Log

An Ultrasonic Caliper log is available with the 6 3 4-in. ADN tool and the
8-in. diameter CDN tool.
The caliper measurement is based upon the principle of measuring the
transit time of a compressional wave transmitted from a transducer in the tool
and reflected off the borehole wall back to the tool.
Primary calibration
A temperature-pressure test in water is performed on each sensor. During
the test, the round-trip travel time to a reflector situated 1 in. away from the
transducer front face is measured, along with the echo amplitude.

Additional digital channels are described in the ADN and CDN sections.
Calibration
Master calibration: Calibrating plugs are pushed against the transducer
front face. To ensure a good acoustic coupling, grease is first smeared over the
transducer front face. Two plugs of different thicknesses are used. One provides a two-way travel time corresponding to a 13.46-in. [34.2-cm] hole diameter, the other to a 16.26-in. [41.3-cm] hole diameter. Travel time and echo amplitude are measured.
Field verification: The same calibrating plugs can be used in the field prior
to the job. An additional verification can be done with the tool in a casing of
known internal diameter.
Detailed calibration tolerances are described in the specific tool sections
(ADN or CDN). They are also available in the calibration tails that are presented with the log.
Operating Technique
Caliper accuracy can be checked inside casing if the tool is rotating. Casing

VISION475 Log
The VISION475* system, a fully integrated MWD/LWD system housed in
two 434-in. drill collars, is designed for slim boreholes ranging from 534 to
634 in. The IMPulse* collar contains a mud turbine generator, continuous mud
pulse telemetry, azimuthal gamma ray measurement and a resistivity measurement that is exactly the same as an ARC5 tool. The ADN4 Azimuthal Density
Neutron collar provides bulk density, photoelectric factor (Pe) and neutron
porosity.
These tools are combined to form the VISION475 system, which provides
MWD/LWD measurements in real time to the surface for full formation evaluation. In addition to quadrant density measurements, the VISION475 system
acquires 16 azimuthal density and Pe measurements. These measurements are
used to make density and Pe images of the borehole.
Bulk density
Pe for lithology identification.
Tool response
Laboratory measurements and mathematical modeling have been used to
define the density and Pe response and to quantify environmental effects.
These effects include gamma ray streaming, mud weight, tool standoff and
photoelectric factors of formation and mud on density.
The laboratory measurements involve placing the tool in the

Environmental Effects Calibration Facility (EECF) reference formations, which
contain a variety of quarried rock slabs and different mudcakes/boreholes
with accurately known densities and Pe values. The apparent density values
are then corrected back to the known values, and the correction factors are
stored for future application in a real well. Calibration formations range from
1.00 g/cm3 to 3.05 g/cm3.
Neutron porosity
Fast neutrons are emitted from a 370-GBq (10-Ci) 241americium-beryllium
(Am-Be) source. The quantity of hydrogen in the formation, in the form of
water- or oil-filled porosity, primarily controls the rate at which the neutrons
slow down to epithermal and thermal energies. Neutrons are detected in nearand far-spacing He3 detector banks, and ratio-processing transforms are used
to provide an output in porosity units (p.u.) for a sandstone, dolomite or limestone matrix.
Tool response
The ADN4 tool has been placed in reference formations in the EECF for its
primary calibration. The reference formation porosities are accurately known,
and the measured neutron porosities are calibrated to read the known values.
Resistivity
The VISION475 resistivity measurement is a borehole-compensated 2-MHz
array developed for MWD/LWD in slim holes ranging from 5.75 to 6.75 in.
The tool makes multiple borehole-compensated phase shift and attenuation
resistivity measurements using an antenna array with five physical transmitter-to-receiver spacings. Five independent borehole-compensated phase shift
and attenuation measurements are made at 2 MHz, providing five vertically
matched phase shift resistivity measurements and five vertically matched
attenuation resistivity measurements with increasing radial depths of investigation. Vertical matching does not compensate for artifacts caused by 3D formation effects (e.g., dipping beds).
139 Anadrill
VISION475
VISION475
140 Anadrill
With five curves that are vertically matched, any separation is due to radial
variations in resistivity or anisotropy. The transmitter-to-receiver spacings were
chosen to provide a wide range of radial depth of investigation so that earlytime invasion can be detected and evaluated from a few inches up to a few feet
in diameter. Quick-look interpretation is possible from the simple visual display of the five vertically matched phase shift resistivities (identification of
tight zones, hydrocarbon-bearing versus wet zones, indication of moveable
hydrocarbon).
Tool response
VISION475 resistivity measurements were made in a 15-ft diameter water-filled
tank with resistivities ranging from 0.1 up to 26 ohm-m (fresh tap water).
Gamma ray
Gamma ray measurements are performed with a plateau sensor (NaI scintillation detector) with the output expressed in API units. Hardware and software allow the gamma ray measurement to be viewed azimuthally by quadrant. Shocks are measured by a transverse-mounted accelerometer.
Temperature is also recorded.
Tool response
test pits with several tools.

Calibration
Azimuthal density
Master calibration: The ADN density calibration process uses three blocks
to compensate for stabilizer position and wear. These points are from
aluminum (7075), magnesium (AZ31B) and water reference blocks. The
aluminum block has a bulk density of 2.70 g/cm3 and Pe of 5.70, and the magnesium block has a bulk density of 1.69 g/cm3 and Pe of 2.53. Counting rates
are monitored during the calibration and compared to specified tolerances.
Expected counting rates depend on the physical size of the stabilizer. This
means that minimum and maximum values accepted for counting rates could
vary between successive calibrations of the same tool (as the stabilizer wears
and radius is reduced). The water block is used to verify the quality of the calibration. The procedures apply to density and Pe measurements. Typical measurement time is 30 min for each block.
Optional field verification: The density scintillation detectors each contain a
small radioactive source that provides a relatively constant level of gamma
radiation at a specific energy level. The field verification currently involves
monitoring the counting rates emitted from these sources before and after a job
and ensuring that they stay within specified tolerances. These counting rates
should not vary with time.
Neutron porosity
Master calibration: The master calibration makes use of a large water-filled
tank. The calibration uses two points corresponding to two different neutron
porosities.
Resistivity
Master calibration: The master calibration for VISION475 resistivity is an air
measurement. This involves placing the tool on a wooden support 12 ft above
the ground and 10 ft away from any other conductive structures and measuring the phase shift and attenuations in air. All phase shifts and attenuation
measured downhole are referenced to this air-hang measurement. There is no
need for additional calibration of the electronics, since borehole compensation
cancels electronics and sensor drifts while logging.
Optional field verification: At the wellsite, VISION475 resistivity electronics are
checked by making an air measurement while the tool is on jack-stands or
hanging in the derrick. While the attenuation and phase shift values will not
be exactly the same as in the air calibration, they should be of similar value.
This system is used before and after each tool sequence of bit runs with the
same tool in order to verify proper functioning of the resistivity measurement.

Master calibration: The gamma ray measurement is calibrated using a blankettype gamma ray source of known strength. A measurement is made without
the blanket to get a background value. A second measurement is taken with
the blanket wrapped around the collar at the point where the GR detector crystal is located. The difference between the two values is calculated and compared to the known value of the blanket. From this, a gain is computed.
Optional field verification: The gamma ray sensor can be checked by using
the blanket source to see that the GR value measured is correct. Calibration
coefficients are not adjusted.

Operating Technique
The VISION475 tool is designed to be run in boreholes ranging in size from
5.75 to 6.75 in. It has wear bands that have a maximum outside diameter of
5.25 in. It can be operated with or without stabilizers in any 4.75-in. drillstring.
The ADN source must be positioned correctly within the source receptacle for the calibration to be valid. Standard procedures, which are
mandatory for safety reasons, ensure correct source positioning.
When the tool is sliding, the density windows must be oriented down.
Otherwise, standoff for the density measurement may be too great to be
corrected for by DRHO. With an orienting sub (ADOS) placed between
the nuclear tool and the bent sub or steerable motor, the density windows can be oriented to the tool face.
The ADN4 collar is generally run above the IMPulse tool. If the ADN4
collar is run below the IMPulse tool, real-time information from the
ADN4 collar is not available, and the source cannot be fished.
When operating the tool in vertical sections of a well, a density stabilizer
(6.25-in. clamp-on or 5.875-in. integral blade stabilizer) must be used to
obtain quantitative density and Pe information. To obtain quantitative
azimuthal information in a deviated well the tool also requires a density
stabilizer.
Whirling of the drill collars or excessive shocks on IMPulse may
cause spiking in a large borehole (>6.75 in.) with conductive mud
(<0.5 ohm-m).

The following table shows typical density and neutron porosity values.
These values should be observed after corrections have been applied.

pad appears more dense than the formation (such as in heavy muds and
barite). DRHO can be used to assess the quality of RHOB, when the quadrant
DRHOs are well behaved.
The relative positions (values) of the different resistivity curves depend on
the values of Rmf and Rw, the respective saturation and the depth of invasion,
presence of anisotropy and the borehole effects. In impermeable zones such as
shales, the curves will match each other (provided that the effects of overpressure, shale hydration and anisotropy are ignored).
In front of permeable zones, and keeping in mind Rw and Rmf values, the
relative position of the curves should show a coherent profile. Curves should
follow the Rxo/Rt contrast, with the shallow reading close to Rxo and the deeper reading closer to Rt. It still could be distorted in the presence of annulus.
Anisotropy affects the resistivity measurements when the relative angle of
the borehole to the bedding planes exceeds 50 degrees. This effect increases as
the relative angle increases. Anisotropy causes the phase shift curves to separate evenly with a profile that simulates conductive invasion (apparent resistivity increasing with depth of investigation). Attenuation measurements are less
affected by anisotropy than phase shift measurements and therefore read less
apparent resistivity than the corresponding phase shift. This feature helps an
153 Anadrill
VISION475
VISION475
154 Anadrill
interpreter to distinguish anisotropy from conductive invasion, since the attenuation measurements read a higher apparent resistivity than the phase shift in
a conductive invasion environment.
Rate of penetration
Expected data rate is a minimum of two data points per foot.
Repeatability specifications for nuclear data are provided for a logging
speed of 100 ft/h. At different logging speeds (rates of penetration), repeatability is proportional to the square root of the logging speed ratio.
If density alpha-processing is desired, the tool is configured for a maximum logging speed of 50 ft/h with a 10-s recording rate for the density parameters.

High-voltage control data

Helium 3 high voltage (HEHV)

TBD
Helium high-voltage control loop

The most recent helium high voltage value, HEHV, is retrieved from the
NFEM. This value is recorded in the calc-buffer for recording and display in
ToolScope surface acquisition software.
The control loop high-voltage value is calculated as:
where,
and
loopHV = HEHV Ncontrol_in_factor + lopp_full_scale

Ncontrol_in_factor is hardcoded to 900/1023,
loop_full_scale is hardcoded to 900.
A correction value is calculated by

correction = 0.5 (HEHV_setpoint-loopHV) / Ncontrol_out_factor,
where
HEHV_setpoint is the first neutron coefficient, HEHV,
and
Ncontrol_out_factor is hardcoded to 900/4095,
if
|correction| < 109.2,
indicating that the magnitude of the correction is less than 24; therefore, the
loop is considered locked. If it is greater than this value, than the loop is considered to be unstable and not locked.

This log presents the raw amplitude of the signal received at each receiver
from each of the five transmitters as well as the ASIM image described earlier
in this section. The 10 curves are plotted against time along with the gamma
ray, depth and shock information above. The amplitude curves vary with
apparent resistivity and should track together. Any amplitude that is different
from the others might indicate a problem with that transmitter.
This log presents the raw attenuations and the raw phase shifts measured
between the two receivers from each of the five transmitters. The 10 curves are
plotted against time along with the gamma ray, depth, shock and status word
map. The phase shifts and attenuations vary with apparent resistivity and
should track together. Any measurement that is very different from the others
could indicate a problem with a transmitter. Any flag on the status word map
could indicate a hardware failure within the tool, and the log should be examined carefully as a result.
IMPTRES
This log presents the computed phase shift and attenuation resistivities
from each of the five transmitters. The 10 curves are plotted with the gamma
ray, depth, and shock information above. The resistivities vary with the apparent resistivity and should track together. This can be different for the shortspacing attenuation resistivities, which can saturate in resistivities higher than
20 ohm-m. Any other measurement that is very different from the others could
indicate a problem with a transmitter. Because signals from several transmitters are used when computing a single resistivity, one transmitter failure may
affect several curves.
Operating range
The VISION475 system can be operated in oil- and water-base mud. The
resistivity measurement will be affected by the borehole with a Rt/Rm ratio
exceeding 20/1. This effect becomes greater with an increase in Rt/Rm ratio
and an increase in hole size. Borehole corrections are available in the IDEAL
version 5.0. This correction allows the resistivity measurement to be valid up
to an Rt/Rm contrast of 1000/1 if the borehole size is limited to 6.75-in.
The density and neutron measurements can operate in all types of mud.
Barite mud affects the Pe measurement. For best quantitative density data,
direct borehole contact with minimal standoff is preferred.

Borehole corrections
Borehole correction algorithms for resistivity measurements are available in
the field software (IDEAL version 5) and at the computing center (GeoFrame
3). They should be considered anytime the mud resistivity is less than 1.0
ohm-m. The borehole contribution to the overall measured signal increases
with an increase in hole size and Rt/Rm contrast.
Standard operating procedure is to correct TNPH for the effects of borehole
size, formation temperature, mud salinity and mud hydrogen index (a factor of
mud weight, mud temperature and mud pressure) during wellsite processing.
Corrections for formation salinities are not applied in the field unless specifically requested.

VISION475

172 Anadrill
Borehole corrections for the gamma ray measurement have been characterized and implemented in IDEAL version 5.0. Potassium chloride (KCl) concentration in the mud is a common additive that increases the gamma ray
measurement. Corrections for KCl can be applied at the wellsite. Input parameters are the KCl concentration in the mud and borehole size. Hole size and
mud weight corrections are also routinely applied during wellsite processing.
This correction is applied after the KCl correction is made.
None of these corrections was available for printing in the latest
Schlumberger Log Interpretation Charts book (1996, SMP-7006).

Wellbore Survey Data

Wellbore survey measurements are provided by several Anadrill MWD
tools including PowerPulse, IMPULSE and SHARP. The inclination and
azimuth (heading) are computed from measurements of the earths magnetic
and gravity fields taken at survey stations. Inclination is the angle between a
vector tangent to the borehole and vertical. Azimuth is the angle between the
tangent vector projected in the horizontal plane and north. By convention,
azimuth is referenced to grid north rather than magnetic north or true north.
The measurements are typically taken when pumps are restarted after adding
a joint or stand of pipe. Wellbore position is computed from the values of inclination, azimuth and measured depth at the survey stations.
Presentation
Survey data are not shown as a log but rather presented in a tabular report.
The first page contains identifiers (company, field, well, etc.) and auxiliary data
needed to compute surveys and position from raw data and for QC purposes.
This includes total magnetic field strength, dip angle, grid convergence, gravitational field strength, depth reference point, etc. The following pages of the
report contain the calculated surveys (inclination and azimuth) and position
(north/south, east/west and vertical displacement) as a function of measured
depth. The survey report can be exported from the IDEAL tool as an ASCII file.
On true vertical depth (TVD) logs, the list of surveys used to calculate the
TVD should be displayed, and this will typically be the survey report mentioned above. It is also recommended that a plot, including vertical and horizontal projections as well, be shown to assist in the interpretation of the log
data.
Calibration
The calibration is performed on the direction and inclination (D&I) Test
System (DITS). This consists of a calibration stand (SFT-15) and associated data
acquisition electronics, computer and printer. The surveying sensors are placed
in a sequence of positions relative to the earths gravitational and magnetic
fields. The biases, scale factors and alignments of the sensors are determined
from their responses. The stand should be approximately level and pointing
north before proceeding with a calibration, but precision alignment is not
required. The base of the stand must not move during calibration. The local
magnetic field intensity is measured with a proton precession magnetometer
prior to the start of the calibration, and the local gravitational field is estimated
from local latitude.
Calibrations should be conducted after 500 pumping hours or once a year,
whichever comes first. When comparing two subsequent calibrations on the
same D&I package, the change in scale factors and biases should not exceed
the following tolerances:
Maximum change
Accelerometer biases
Accelerometer scale factors
Magnetometer biases
Magnetometer scale factors
750 mg
750 ppm
100 nT
3.5 ppk
Calibration software should be version 4.1 or later.

1 g is 9.81 m/s2.
175 Anadrill
176 Anadrill
Operating Technique
The D&I sensors should be isolated from magnetic BHA components.
Typically, a pony collar is run below the MWD with one or two nonmag (nonmagnetic) collars above. Refer to the specific tool Uniform Operating
Procedures for the formula needed for computing the required spacing.
Quality control
Quality Control is achieved by comparing observed values of gravitational
field strength, magnetic field strength and dip angle as measured from the tool
to reference values. Tolerances are as follows:
|G| = Reference 3 mg
|B| = Reference 350 nT
Dip = Reference 0.3

The tool must be stationary to take accurate surveys.
