RG Borehole Geometry Probe

Borehole Geometry Probe

The borehole-geometry probe consists of a four-arm caliper in combination with a verticality measurement. The verticality section is also capable of stand-alone operation. The probe can replace the standard
three-arm caliper with advantage where the borehole cross-section departs from circular and where directional information is required for well-completion studies and formation stress analysis.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT

The four-arm caliper provides continuous measurements of borehole diameter in two orthogonal directions. The probe includes two independent pairs of linked arms which can be opened or closed from the surface. Once opened, the arms are maintained in contact with the borehole walls by spring pressure. A simple field calibration allows both calipers to be presented as logs in linear metric or imperial units.The verticality section includes a triaxial magnetometer and three accelerometers. Data from these are combined by a downhole microprocessor to provide real-time, continuous logs of probe orientation and borehole inclination and direction. The probe can operate in any orientation. The operation of the probe is limited in steel casing or in the presence of magnetic minerals which affect the magnetometer. Under such conditions, only borehole inclination (without directional information) and caliper can be logged.
