Based on the principle of four-component cross-dipole acoustic wave measurement, the anisotropy of HTI （Horizontal Transverse Isotropy） formation can be determined. The method of calculating the fast and slow wave data when a shear wave propagates along the borehole axis in anisotropic formation was analyzed, and the implementation of a cross-dipole acoustic logging tool was demonstrated. The tool was composed of transmitter electronics, transmitter mandrel, acoustic isolator, receiver mandrel and main control electronics. Sonde, transmitter circuit, signal receiving and processing circuit, data acquisition system, system control circuit and telemetry interface circuit were presented and analyzed. The test model was used in production wells and standard wells in various areas and the four-component cross-dipole waves were acquired and processed. The waves had good signal-to-noise ratio and clear characteristics, and the fast and slow waveforms, processed slowness curves, anisotropy and fast shear wave azimuth well matched with each other.展开更多

The results show that the haJ^-space response of the different opening direction of instrument slots has a nonlinear change with the increase of the ground conductivity. The effect of half-space response on the instrument slots downward opening direction is greatest and the upward is minimal The half-space response of the deep induction reaches the maximum near the 0.4m height when tool is above ground. The peak position does not change with the ground conductivity changes.These results have a practical significance to determine accurately the sonde error of the dual-induction logging tool while drilling.展开更多
