High Resolution Borehole Acoustic Scanner (Televiewer)
고분해능 텔레뷰어 검층기법의 기능
Abstract
Fracture detection has always been very attractive to the log, because it is important in many of our prospecting activities, e.g. in understanding the underground rock formation and also the fluid flow as a high permeability path. This paper demonstrates the use of high resolution borehole acoustic scanner for the detection of fractures. The tool, known as Televiewer, is the first acoustic borehole imaging system to use a focussed beam. The acoustic beams generated by a single transducer are sent toward the borehole wall, scanning the wall in a tight helix as the tool moves along the borehole. The amplitudes and travel times of the reflected signals are then measured, which produces the corresponding images. The highly resolved amplitude image allows to recognize various size of fractures and in addition to derive the rock strength from the image. Meanwhile, the travel time image itself can be directly converted to a precise caliper image, providing detailed information of deviations of the borehole shape. It also allows correction of and explanations for amplitude variations. Field measurements were carried Out at the Cheongyang study sites in Korea to illustrate the efficiency of the televiewer log.
최근, 암반내에 형성된 절리 및 단층에 대한 정확한 규명은 무엇보다 암반분류 내지 암반내 용질유동연구에어 대단히 중요한 과제로 되고 있다. 본 연구에서 소개된 텔레뷰어 검층장치는 주사되는 초음파를 초점화함으로서 절리상태를 고분해능으로 파악할 수 있는 기능을 갖고 있다. 즉, 초음파 발생원이 시추공 축상에서 선회하는 동안 시추공내벽으로 조밀하게 초음파빔을 주사하고 그로 인해 반사되는 초음파의
