Sonic Scanner



Click to view
With the Sonic Scanner tool you have the benefits of axial, azimuthal, and radial information. Derived from both the monopole and dipole measurements for near-wellbore and far-field slowness, this information greatly increases your understanding of the reservoir.


Benefits
  • Enhanced hydrocarbon recovery
  • Real-time decisions with real-time quality control
  • Improved reserves estimates
  • Decreased operating time and job costs by eliminating multiple logging runs
  • Reduced uncertainty and operating risk


Adding radius to borehole acoustics
In addition to axial and azimuthal measurements, the Sonic Scanner acoustic scanning platform makes a radial measurement to probe the formation for near-wellbore and far-field slowness. Typical depths of investigation equal two to three times the borehole diameter.

The Sonic Scanner platform provides advanced types of acoustic measurements, including borehole-compensated monopole with long and short spacings, cross-dipole, and cement bond quality. These measurements, converted into useful information about the drilling environment and the reservoir, help you make decisions that reduce your overall drilling costs, improve recovery, and maximize productivity.

Achieving a better understanding of acoustic propagation
To give you a deeper understanding of acoustic behavior in and around the borehole, the Sonic Scanner tool enables accurate radial and axial measurements of the stress-dependent properties of the rocks near the wellbore. Its multiple depths of investigation, excellent waveform quality, and clear presentations reduce the complexity of sonic logging, without compromising the depth of information.

Understanding your reservoir
Get the most comprehensive understanding of your rock and improve your fracture planning, sand control, and perforating designs. See stress on a whole new level, with an extra dimension.
