Why is cementing important?
Effective factors - Preventing fluids flow from one formation to
another or to the surface.
Log examples - Bonding the casing to the formation
- Supporting the casing string
- Protecting the casing from the corrosion caused by formation

- Sealing off the troublesome zones

CBL:
Tool configuration A transmitter emits a sonic signal which travels through the borehole fluid,
along the casing wall, through the cement and formation, and back to a
receiver
concept
We monitor the amplitude and elapsed time of the first arrival from the
received signal.
Log view
VDL:
Effective factors
In the VDL transmitter short bursts of acoustic energy, at a frequency of
10 to 30 kHz, are generated and emitted in a spherical wave. The
Log example duration of each emission is typically 50 μs and is repeated once every 1
to 5 seconds. In between the emissions the receiver{s) pick up the
refracted and direct waves, in the form of a wave train of varying
amplitudes, measuring their arrival times. Part of the refracted energy
travels through the casing and shows up on the VDL as the first arriving

signal as the wave travels faster along casing than through the (liquid)
hole contents

• The CBL is typically presented in track 2

Tool cinfigueation with amplitude increasing from left to right.
Basically, if the amplitude is low, the cement
is good. If it is high the cement is not

Log view
• The Variable Density – VDL Log is presented on
the log as ‘a variable intensity’ in shades between
Effective factors black and white, representing maximum and
minimum in amplitudes. It is used mainly in the
interpretation of the cement-to-formation bond

introduction
1-fast formation:
Effective factors
In very hard formations with high sonic
velocity(called ‘fast’ formations)the formation
signals can arrive first and interfere with the
casing returns,for instance: sonic energy
reverberates within the casing, if the casing is
unbounded the amplitude of the casing arrival
will be high, and finally, if the casing is bonded
the amplitude of the casing arrival will be low

introduction
2-micro annulus
Effective factors
A small gap that can form between the
casing or liner and the surrounding cement
sheath, most commonly formed by
variations in temperature or pressure during
or after the cementing process.

3-concentric casing and tool

Log examples The casing string must be centirlized with

the formation as well as the tool should be
centirlized inside the casing
