Filed:

Feb 19, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/079626

Inventors:

Ronald McDaniel - Fort Worth TX, US
Tony Small - Mansfield TX, US
Dwight Bloomfield - Benbrook TX, US

International Classification:

G01V001/00

US Classification:

367/035000

Abstract:

A method and device are shown for detecting the characteristics of a cement annulus between a casing in a borehole and the surrounding earth formations in a slickline cement bond logging operation. An acoustic logging tool is utilized which produces a pure signal downhole. The received acoustically transmitted energy produces electrical signals indicative of both the amplitude of the received energy and variable density log data. Both the amplitude data and the variable density log data are captured in memory downhole by the use of a time amplitude matrix which stores a limited number of data points for producing a cement bond log at the well surface.

Abstract:

A multi-sensor network interface includes at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a commission notification message from each of a plurality of data sources, each data source associated with at least one sensor, in response to receiving the commission notification message from each data source, provision each data source for reception of data from the data source, receive data from each data source, and store the received data in a data historian. The received data from a first one of the data sources includes at least one different data type than the received data from a second one of the data sources.
