This lesson consists of the following topics:
What is Cased Hole Logging?
Cased Hole Instrument Overview
Before understanding cased hole logging technology, it is important to first know

about open hole logging technology. Open hole logging refers to logging operations
done before the well has been cased and cemented. This logging method is
normally done while drilling a hole (Drilling Services) or after the well has been
drilled (Wireline Services). Measurements are taken from the bare rock formation
and logs are provided to the client for evaluation.

Comparison of Open and Cased Hole Logging
Cased hole logging refers to logging measurements taken through well casing,
which is inserted into the well during the completions operations. Therefore, it is
understandable that cased hole logging is sometimes called "completions".
The measurements used from cased hole logging help customers obtain additional
information about the reservoir. This additional information can be used to evaluate

Self Study Guide
the formation and completion of the well, as well as determine the quality of the
cement used in the well. After obtaining this additional information from cased hole
logging, the customer can make the determination whether to plug and abandon
the well, or continue with production.
During completions, a well is Baker Hughes

normally drilled past the section of Tool
interest to the customer, and then
casing is run to separate the
formation from the wellbore. After Cement
this, guns filled with explosive
charges are used to blow holes
into the casing at points of interest Formation
to the clients. This is known as
perforation.
Casing
A surface acquisition system is
required on every wireline job. The
system is used to control
downhole equipment, and produce
a log and other deliverables to be Cased Hole Logging Cross Section

customer. It can also troubleshoot problems with downhole and surface equipment,
if required.

Production Logging
Production logging services are used to efficiently and accurately evaluate the
well’s performance. They diagnose and verify possible problems in reservoir
performance. Real-time, depth-correlated production data, including flow rates,
pressures, and gas/oil/water ratios, provide input for pressure transient1 and nodal2
well test analysis and reservoir simulation. Using these key production parameters,
it is possible to evaluate drilling and production operations at the wellsite and
diagnose potential problems such as water or gas breakthrough, crossflow of thief
zones, and channeling. This, in turn, reduces downtime.
Production Logging measurements are normally combined with cased hole

reservoir evaluation services, such as the pulsed neutron Reservoir Performance
Monitor (RPM)3. This combination normally gives saturation and production logging
data for a complete well performance evaluation.
1 Pressure Transient Test - An analysis of well flow, using a test that shuts the well in,
following a flow period and measures the rate or pressure build-up.
2 Nodal Analysis - 1) The system analysis for determination of fluid production rate and
pressure at a specified node is called NODAL analysis in petroleum engineering. 2) A
pressure drop vs. flow study, using a computer program that compares flow
performance at various "nodes" along the flow path.
3 Reservoir Performance Monitor™ (RPM™) - Pulsed neutron services differentiate
between water- and hydrocarbon-bearing formations to identify bypassed or partially
drained areas of the reservoir. Pulsed neutron analysis can also estimate formation
properties (porosity, shale volume) and hydrocarbon type necessary to develop an
optimal perforating and completion program.

External
Internal Hole
Cement Casing Inspection
A good cement job is critical for the long term viability of a well. Cement provides
wellbore stability and zonal isolation for the reservoir. A poor cement job can lead
to fluid movement behind casing, which may lead to reduced production. Cement
evaluation tools measure the bond between the casing and the cement placed
between the casing and the wellbore. These tools use ultrasonic measurements by
a signal transmitted from the tool and propagated through, along the casing, and
detected by the tools receiver.
The same importance is given to casing inspection. Pipe string failure caused by
corrosion or mechanical defects can occur at anytime in the life of a well.
Therefore, regular inspection of the production tubing and casing must be
implemented.
Cement and casing evaluation logs provide results to confirm zonal isolation4 and
help the customer decide whether remedial work is required before any
completions are attempted. Baker Hughes Segmented Bond Tool™ (SBT™)
service, Radial Analysis Bond Log™ (RAL™) service, and Acoustic Cement Bond
Log™ (CBL™) service provide detailed evaluations of the cement bond to casing
and formation in a wide variety of pipe sizes and borehole fluid environments. They
use ultrasonic measurements to measure the cement bond integrity in six angular
segments around the casing. These six angular measurements produce a 360°
view of the cement bond. These evaluations reduce uncertainties regarding the
quality of the hydraulic isolation5 of zones of interest, allowing more efficient
completion operations while protecting the environment. Casing corrosion
4 Zonal Isolation - The exclusion of fluids such as water or gas in one zone from mixing
with oil in another zone. Successful zonal isolation involves the creation of a hydraulic
barrier between the casing and the cement and between the cement and the formation.
5 Hydraulic Isolation - Partial isolation, without using a direct seal between the device
and the flow path. Efficiency depends on fluid viscosity, clearance, and flow rate.

repeatable estimate of the degree of corrosion in common oil field tubing.
Pipe Recovery
Overview
When pipes get stuck, the situation needs to be resolved quickly, because this can
be very costly for the rig. Pipe recovery is normally the process by which the
location of the stuck pipe is identified, and the free pipe is separated from the stuck
pipe.
Some of the reasons pipes get stuck are:
Keyseat
A small-diameter channel worn into the side of a larger diameter wellbore.
This can be the result of a sharp change in direction of the wellbore (a
dogleg), or if a hard formation ledge is left between softer formations that
enlarge over time. In either case, the diameter of the channel is typically
similar to the diameter of the drill pipe. When larger diameter drilling tools
such as tool joints, drill collars, stabilizers, and bits are pulled into the
channel, their larger diameters will not pass and these tools may become
stuck in the keyseat. Preventive measures include keeping any turns in the
wellbore gradual and smooth. The remedy to keyseating involves enlarging
the worn channel so that the larger diameter tools will fit through it.

19
If external pressure exceeds internal pressure in the wellbore, the casing is

subjected to collapse. Such conditions may exist during cementing
operations, trapped fluid expansion, or well evacuation.

Differential Sticking
A situation in which the drilling assembly (pipe, drill collars and bottom hole
assembly) is stuck in filter cake6 that was previously deposited on a
permeable zone. The pipe is held in the cake by a difference in pressures
between the hydrostatic pressure of the mud and the pore pressure in the
permeable zone.
6 Filter Cake - The residue deposited on a permeable medium when a slurry, such as a
drilling fluid, is forced against the medium under a pressure.

Pipe Recovery - Backing Off
There are usually three stages involved during the pipe recovery operation: free-
point determination, pipe separation, and fishing.
The location where the pipe is free is

determined with the Free Point Indicator
(FPI) System.

pipe is removed. well.
After removal of the free pipe, the rig tries to

fish the rest of the pipe.
If all attempts and methods to free the stuck

pipe fail, the hole is plugged and
sidetracked, or plugged and abandoned.

21
Free point and back off jobs are often called in with little or no notice,
therefore it is imperative that all equipment always be maintained and
in a ‘ready-to-go’ state.

Perforation
The purpose of perforation is to create a channel between the pay zone and the
well bore, thus causing the oil or gas to flow to the wellbore easily. In simple terms,
perforation is when holes are put in the casing or pipe to connect the reservoir with
the well. Normally, the well will be drilled passed the point of interest, and then
casing and cement will be set to separate the wellbore and formation. After this,
perforation guns loaded with explosive charges will be used to shoot holes in the
casing and cement to cause the reservoir to start producing.

Perforating Tunnel
Cement
Formation/Reservoir
Wireline (E-Guns) is the usual method used to run perforation guns. Electrical
signals from the surface are used to fire the guns. The explosive devices used in
the perforation guns are shaped charges or bullets, which create a series of holes,
that will allow the formation fluids to flow into the well for production. Additionally,
perforating is the portal through which the reservoir is stimulated, produced from, or
injected into, and is a critical step in the completion process.

Radiation
Radiation is energy in transit in the form of high speed particles and
electromagnetic waves. They make up our visible light, radio and television waves,
ultra violet (UV), and microwaves with a large spectrum of energies. These
examples of electromagnetic waves do not cause ionizations of atoms because
they do not carry enough energy to separate molecules or remove electrons from
atoms.

Gamma Rays have the following properties:

Have long range ionization- this means more space is needed between a
person and gamma rays
Gamma rays are dangerous in high quantities
Penetrative - this means they are difficult to stop
No mass
No charge
High speed
It is impossible to directly measure gamma rays. Therefore, detectors are used to
translate gamma rays into electrical pulses. Baker Hughes tools usually use
scintillation detectors, which include a crystal that converts the gamma rays to light
and a Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT) that converts the light to an electrical pulse.
Gamma Ray Log Applications
The gamma ray sensor measures the natural radioactivity of well formations. The
main use of the gamma ray instrument in cased holes is to adjust the depth of the
tool string in relation to the depth of the formation being logged. This is commonly
known as depth correlation.
Also, the gamma ray logs are effective in distinguishing permeable zones. This is
done by virtue of the fact that the radioactive elements tend to be concentrated in
the shales, which are impermeable. Additionally, the radioactive elements are much
less concentrated in carbonates and sands, which are generally permeable.
Circuitry
Most of the gamma ray tools used in cased hole share almost the same principle
for their circuitry, the most basic elements are:

Low voltage power supply
High voltage power supply
Pre-Amplification circuit
Pulse shaping circuit

A Casing Collar Locator (CCL) is based upon the principle that a changing
magnetic flux within a coil generates a voltage across the terminals of that coil. The
magnetic field of a CCL magnet is affected by any magnetically susceptible
material close to it such as the casing in a borehole. A collar or joint in the casing
changes the magnetic flux field including the flux passing through the coil ends
adjacent to the magnet or magnets. Thus an electric voltage is generated in the
CCL by the discontinuity (collar or joint) in the casing.
CCL Application
The main function of the CCL is to detect casing collars, which is used to correlate
depth when running cased hole operations.
CCLs are also used to verify perforations in a well by passing a CCL through a
section of tubing that has been perforated. As the CCL passes a section that is
perforated, spikes appear in the log indicating perforations. However, if there are no
perforations the log will have a flat line indicating a good casing.
CCL Types
There are two basic types of CCL in production by Baker Hughes:
The unpowered two-magnet, one-coil type whose signal is transmitted to the
surface panel without processing.
The powered type whose signal is processed downhole and then transmitted to
the surface panel.

Lesson Overview
1633EA Acoustic Electronics
Segmented Bond Tool Variable Density Log

The 1633EA Acoustic Electronics Cartridge is a single-conductor electronics
cartridge responsible for the data acquisition, downhole analysis, and telemetry
interface for the 1421XA Micro Cement Bond Logging (CBL) or the 1424XA
Segmented Bond Tool.
The 3504 communications protocol specifications govern the telemetry interface

with the surface system. The 1633EA cartridge is attached to the top of the SBT or
Micro CBL acoustic mandrel, and controls and receives signals from the mandrel.
Acquired data from the 1633EA is sent to the surface at a rate of 20.8 kbits/s.
Acquisition tables dictate the way in which the data is acquired for a given request
from the surface system.
Acoustic data is acquired simultaneously from two receivers. This is accomplished

by the two-channel 8-bit A/D card under the control of the CPU card, both of which
are located in the flasked electronics section of the 1633EA cartridge.
During an acquisition sequence, the acoustic mandrel is configured to select a
transmitter, two receivers, and gains based on the acquisition table. Control of the
mandrel is accomplished through a serial communication link.

34
Self Study Guide

The 1424 Segmented Bond Tool (SBT), used with the 1633EA Acoustic
Electronics, is a unique cement bond logging tool. The SBT can find and define
channels in the cement annulus, which could result in a poor hydraulic seal.
Conversely, the SBT can reliably find zones of uniform bonding over only a few feet
of casing. Under conditions where a short bonded interval produces an adequate
hydraulic seal, unnecessary squeeze jobs can be avoided.
The SBT quantitatively measures the quality of the cement bond in six angular
segments around the casing. The tool utilizes acoustic transducers mounted on six
pads to make compensated acoustic attenuation measurements which are not
affected by mud weight, gas cut, fast formation effects, casing surface conditions,
or moderate tool decentralization.
1424XB Segmented Bond Tool
Tool Configuration
The attenuation of sound along the casing has long been used as a reliable
indication of cement-to-casing bond. The SBT utilizes sonic transducers mounted
on six pads to make a compensated measurement of the bond condition in six
azimuthal segments around the casing. Because the transducers are mounted on
pads, the measurement is unaffected by gas in the borehole, fast formations, or
heavy mud conditions. Exact centering is not required.
A separate unit provides a "steered-beam" VDL. Two transmitters, one fired

immediately after the other, enhance the amount of energy available (in the
direction of the receiver) to produce a better definition of pipe-to-cement and
cement-to-formation interface. Hence, interpretation of the VDL is easier.
