Advances in borehole acoustic reflection imaging Article Swipe
Borehole acoustic reflection imaging has recently emerged as an important geophysical well-logging technology in hydrocarbon exploration. This technology greatly enhances the ability to image reservoir structures away from borehole. This paper provides an overview on the advancement of this technology and its applications. The most significant advance is shear-wave refection imaging using borehole dipole sources. With these advances, the borehole reflection imaging has begun to shift the paradigm of well logging from "a view along a well" to "a teleview away from the well." The dipole shear-wave reflection imaging technology has been successfully tested by a designated experiment using two parallel boreholes far away from each other. This technology has also been applied to field acoustic logging measurements. The result demonstrates that it can detect hidden reservoir around borehole and image reservoir fractures. The shear-wave imaging is particularly useful for detect fractures that have a sharp shear rigidity discontinuity. Further, the azimuthal sensitivity of the dipole shear wave allows for determining the strike azimuth of the fracture.
