文章摘要
Better well logging techniques for geologic investigations are urgently needed to identify and evaluate complex reservoirs. We describe a new type of 3D transmitter station with corresponding circuits and bodies. They can be used in a promising new technique of acoustic re?ection well logging, that features better azimuthal detection capabilities, as well as better investigation depth. The transmitter stations consist of three-level subarrays that can radiate acoustic energy in any required azimuth of 3D space by circularly exciting various combinations at different levels. We tested the 3D acoustic transmitter stations and obtained laboratory directivity measurements with the 3D acoustic transmitter stations for the ?rst time. The results show that the 3-dB beam width in the horizontal plane ranges from 59 to 67 as a result of phase-delayed excitation. The main beam is steered in the vertical plane at a de?ection angle that ranges from 0 to 16 when the delay time of the excitation pulse between each pair of adjacent arc arrays is gradually adjusted. The 3-dB beam width is equal to 11 , whereas the de?ection angle in the vertical plane is equal to 14 . Each of the four third-level subarrays in the same circumferential direction display consistent horizontal and vertical directivities, thus satisfying the requirements of azimuthal acoustic re?ection logging.
