The resistivity of the porous stratum containing saturation water is the most relatively low.In prior art, resistivity and electrical conductivity often exchange use, this
Two parameter reciprocal relations each other, can be realized as conversion by simple mathematical calculation, depending on actually used convenience.
Orientation resistivity measurement typically can provide long-range geological information without being intercepted (such as: remotely stratum, geology
Interface and liquid).These information also include: away from the ground degree of depth and long-distance azimuth etc..In terms of geosteering, orient resistance
It can be that ensuing drill-well operation provides foundation that rate is measured.Such as, for oil sheet, main search direction is exactly horizontal part

Drilling process) time, the cross-product (example in magnetic field generally can be measured or assess with brill well logging (LWD) azimuthal resistivity instrument
Such as HzxAssembly).In document, existing various instruments are configured to measure this cross term.Such as, Hagiwara is in patent

U.S.Pat.Nos.6476609,6911824,7019528,7138803 and 7265552 methods used, employ an axle
To launching antenna and two axial spaces inclination reception antennas, compensate antenna incline direction therewith identical.Inclined antenna is engaged in trade
With, but it shortcoming is exactly that the hybrid circuit structure launched and receive is difficult to weak signal (such as transverse electric wave) from survey
Amount noise distinguishes.
Method involved by patent US.Pat.Nos.7057392 of Wang et al. and 7414407 is for using one axially
Launch antenna and the horizontal reception antenna of two longitudinal directions.Once launching signal, each receptor can measure cross-product, this
A little cross-products can weaken the curvature effect impact of instrument by averaging.In order to obtain more reliable measurement result,
Transmitting coil and receiving coil incremental miantenance are constant, and this likely easily occurs asking the when of temperature and pressure fluctuation in well
Topic.Further, launch and receive electronic noise impact be will also result in for the orientation accuracy of resistivity measurement and concordance.
I other words, although the method (with relevant well logging resistivity logging while drilling instrument) described above is extensively commercial,
But still need the instrument with brill well logging (LWD) orientation resistance measurement of developing and method to improve this orientation resistivity measurement
Accuracy.

Detailed description of the invention
As it is shown in figure 1, in the LWD resistivity log method (I) of present invention offer, make azimuthal resistivity instrument in boring
Interior rotation (II);As will be described in greater detail below, this orientation resistivity tool includes at least the first and second transmitting skies
Line, one of them is for launching z pattern electromagnetic wave (III), and another one is used for launching x pattern electromagnetic wave (VI).This instrument is simultaneously
Including at least the first and second reception antennas, reception antenna with launch the antenna longitudinally spaced layout at instrument, one of them is used
Receiving the z mode component (IV) of electromagnetic wave, another one is used for receiving the x mode component (VII) of electromagnetic wave.

Electromagnetism azimuthal resistivity instrument is equipped with single mode emission and reception antenna.According to azimuthal resistivity instrument (or
Get into the cave) referential define single mode antenna, wherein axially (usually z-axis) is consistent with the longitudinal axis of instrument (or getting into the cave).?
In this referential, the antenna magnetic moment in axial antenna is consistent with tool shaft;Axially antenna can launch and/or receive single shaft mould
Formula electromagnetic wave.The laterally magnetic moment of antenna and tool shaft orthogonal vertical in antenna;Laterally antenna can launch and/or receive unidirectional horizontal stroke

As, axially launch antenna and launch substantial amounts of single z-axis pattern electromagnetic wave;The horizontal reception antenna substantial amounts of pure x pattern of reception (or y mould
Formula) electromagnetic wave.
Significantly single mode means that transmitting and reception antenna tend to launch and receive single mode electromagnetic wave.Such as, tradition axle
Tend to launch single z-axis pattern electromagnetic wave to launching antenna, thus be said to be the electromagnetic wave having manufactured single z pattern.Same, pass
Horizontal reception antenna of uniting tends to receive single x pattern electromagnetic wave, thus is said to be the single x pattern electromagnetic wave of reception.In contrast to this
Antenna tends to launch and receive mixed model electromagnetic wave.Such as, traditional inclined antenna tends to launch and receive hybrid guided mode
Formula electromagnetic wave (such as mixing x pattern and z pattern), and be not generally regarded as them and can launch and receive single mode electromagnetic wave.This
Skilled person may think that, traditional axially and transversely antenna is typically launched and receive is all multi-mode electrically magnetic wave, than
As due to design limit etc..In this regard, the present invention is not to be restricted.Although this multi-mode be implicitly present in (when
So proportion is less), traditional axial antenna is still considered as launch and receive or unidirectional z pattern electromagnetic wave.With

Individual transmitting antenna is arranged side by side, and reception antenna is longitudinally spaced;Or, two transmitting antennas can be made longitudinally spaced, and receive
Antenna is arranged side by side, the invention is not limited in this regard.
Or, in the instrument of the present invention, the first sky demand pairs amount launching antenna and corresponding first reception antenna thereof can

One or more pairs of y Mode Launch and the antenna of reception can be comprised, itself and other x patterns, the transmitting of z pattern and the antenna of reception
Right, longitudinally spaced or be arranged side by side.Additionally, technically, according to reciprocity principle, each launch and reception antenna with conjunction

It is further appreciated by the present invention, generally uses electromagnetic induction or propagate measurement.Typically, electromagnetic propagation tool is than electricity
The use frequency of magnetic induction instrument is high.The present invention is not limited to the frequency of electromagnetic wave.Skilled persons will also appreciate that
Electromagnetic wave can have the frequency component available (this is very important) of multiple (2 or more).The present invention is the most not
Can be limited by these modes.
In one example, first launches lasting tranmitting frequency f of antenna1Z pattern and x pattern electromagnetic wave, by first receive
Antenna persistently receives z mode component, and the second reception antenna persistently receives x mode component;Second launches antenna continues tranmitting frequency
f2Z pattern and x pattern electromagnetic wave, the first reception antenna persistently receive z mode component, the second reception antenna persistently receives x
Mode component;Wherein, f1/f2=L2 2/Ll 2, L1And L2Represent that reception antenna and first are launched antenna and second and launched by this respectively
The axial distance of antenna, L1≠L2.And then the recombination rate of the z pattern received under each frequency and x mode component is counted respectively
Calculate.
For the general technology of this area, the changing currents with time in transmitting coil (such as launching the coil of antenna β and γ) (is handed over
Stream electricity) in institute's geodetic layer, create a corresponding time-varying magnetic field.This magnetic field produces sensing in turn in conductive formation
Electric current (vortex current) these vortex currents produce secondary magnetic field further, and this secondary magnetic field can receive at one or more
Coil (the such as coil of reception antenna δ and ε) produces voltage response.Voltage measured in these receiving coils is by existing
Technical finesse can obtain the measurement result of one or more secondary magnetic field, estimates the resistivity on stratum the most further
(electrical conductivity) and dielectric constant.The electricity of hydrocarbon-containifirst material can be associated with from the electrology characteristic on these stratum by prior art
Gesture.
See figures.1.and.2, launch antenna and may launch z pattern and x pattern electromagnetic wave (III and VI) respectively.Each electromagnetism
Single z pattern and the x mode component of ripple will be received (IV by a pair reception antenna (δ and ε in such as Fig. 2) axially and transversely
With VII).By following formula, the electromagnetic wave axially and transversely wave component (V and VIII) received is carried out the calculating of recombination rate
(VII):
Wherein, r represents recombination rate, Vxx, Vxz, VzxAnd VzzRepresent that the electromagnetic wave launched voltage at receiving coil is anti-
Should.The subscript parameters regulation of this voltage response (or electromagnetic field reaction), first letter represents emission mode (x or z pattern),
Second letter represents reception pattern (x or z pattern).
For current technology, these voltage response (Vxx, Vxz, VzxAnd Vzz) corresponding sensing can be obtained by calculation
Magnetic-field component (Hxx, Hxz, HzxAnd Hzz).Therefore, the recombination rate in formula (1) can mathematically be derived as electromagnetic field component
Be expressed as follows:
Formula (1) and (2) calculate gained recombination rate by by transmitting terminal magnetic moment, receiving terminal magnetic moment and electronic errors
(amplitude and phase place) is rejected from voltage (or electromagnetic field) is measured and is achieved the compensation that azimuthal resistivity is measured.With regard to this area
For technology, the voltage measurement of reception antenna is proportional to the electromagnetic moment of transmitting and receiving terminal.Phase place and amplitude error are probably
By receiving what electrical equipment caused.Just as described above, transmitting terminal and receiving terminal gain are typically with Jing Dong (such as well hole temperature and pressure
Strong change) and change, this result also in the transmitting magnetic moment of change and receives magnetic moment.Significantly instrument change also is able to be sent out
Existing.Electronic errors changes as well as well hole temperature.The recombination rate calculated according to the present invention can eliminate error source, and
Improve the accuracy that azimuthal resistivity is measured.
For technological layer, reception antenna it is true that the electromagnetic field that the voltage measured is derived is preferably able to stratum
Magnetic field is proportional, but due to known reason itself and differ.The measurement magnetic field of distortion is expressed as follows:
H (ω)=AT(ω)eiΔΦTAR(ω)eiΔΦRH*(ω) (3)
Wherein, H (ω) represents measurement magnetic field, H*(ω) the true magnetic field on stratum, A are representedT(ω) and ΔΦTRepresent and launch
The true stratum magnetic field amplitude that causes of end and the distortion of phase place, and AR(ω) and ΔΦRRepresent the true stratum caused by receiving terminal
Magnetic field amplitude and the distortion of phase place, ω represents the angular frequency that radian represents.For current technology, the error of amplitude and phase place can
The magnetic moment of antenna, electronics skew and distortion, and other environmental effect can be included.
With reference to Fig. 1, when launching antenna sustained activation, the measurement magnetic field of each receiving terminal can simply be expressed as follows:
Hzz (ω)=ATz(ω)eiΔΦTzARz(ω)eiΔΦRzH*zz(ω)
Hzx (ω)=ATz(ω)eiΔΦTzARx(ω)eiΔΦRxH*zx(ω)
Hxz (ω)=ATx(ω)eiΔΦTxARz(ω)eiΔΦRzH*xz(ω)
Hxx (ω)=ATx(ω)eiΔΦTxARx(ω)eiΔΦRxH*xx(ω) (4)
Wherein, Hxx、Hxz、HzxAnd HzzDefinition reference formula 2, ATz(ω)、ΔΦTz、ATx(ω) and ΔΦTxRepresent by z
Amplitude that pattern and x mode transmission antenna cause and the error of phase place, and ARz(ω)、ΔΦRz、ARx(ω) and ΔΦRxRepresent by
Amplitude that z pattern and x pattern reception antenna cause and the error of phase place.
Bring formula (4) into formula (2) to obtain:
Can be reduced to:
Technically, all of amplitude and phase error are during formula (5) to the mathematic(al) simplification of formula (6)
Eliminated dexterously.Thus, ratio r achieves the full remuneration that azimuthal resistivity is measured.
High-frequency signal can be carried out down conversion process by LO vibrator, frequency mixer and filter circuit by traditional sample circuit,
Again the signal after frequency reducing is acquired.During this, owing to the instability of vibrator, frequency mixer and wave filter causes
The instability of sampled signal and the introducing of noise signal.The distorted signals being likely to cause for receiving terminal, the present invention relates to
The operation principle of high frequency sampling circuit is not as it is shown on figure 3, the most use vibrator and frequency mixer, to received signal
Directly carry out high frequency sampling;The method of sampling employs lack sampling method, and carries out letter according to special algorithm and signal processing method
Number reduction.Gained signal avoids the distortion effect caused by vibrator and frequency mixer, effectively prevent the generation of noise signal.
Length is limited, and the present invention is applicable to above case, and is not limited to these cases, changes according to the local of the present invention
Within falling within its protection domain.
