Estudo da resposta de diferentes arranjos de bobinas na perfilagem de indução de poço: modelamento analógico

Abstract

Induction logs are frequently run in the drill holes to distinguish the zones containing hydrocarbons from those containing conate water, based on the conductivity contrast. Besides localizing these zones, the induction log can be used to calculate the hydrocarbon reserves reservoir evaluation. Most commercial induction logs use a coaxial coil system, which have poor response in thin beds, deep invasion and conductive muds. A comparative study of E.M. responses both coaxial and a coplanar coil systems was carried out for different geological situations to test the two systems in conditions where the coaxial system responds poorly. For this study, an existing analog model was modified. The model source frequency is in the range of 50 to 100 kHz. A scale factor of 20 was chosen for this study. Solutions of varying electrical conductivities, obtained using different concentrations of amonium chloride contained in various compartments in a fiber glass tank, simulated the geological models. The measurements obtained demonstrate that the coplanar coil system has a better vertical resolution than the coaxial coil system normaly used in induction logging.
