QL40-ABI-2G Data Sheet

The QL40ABI and ABI40GR are new generation acoustic borehole imaging tools based on 20 years of experience. The tools record 360 degree images of the borehole or casing wall using ultrasonic signals to determine properties like borehole diameter, lithology, and casing thickness. Precise orientation is provided by magnetometers and accelerometers. The tools can be used for applications like fracture detection, stress analysis, and casing inspection.

QL40   ABI-2G acoustic borehole imager

ABI40  GR-2G ▲

The QL40ABI and ABI40GR are the latest generation


of acoustic televiewers based on 20 years of
experience and market leadership. The new system
consists of a completely redesigned acoustic sensor
and new electronics.

The acoustic borehole imager records a 360°


unwrapped and 3D images of the borehole wall.
The tool emits an ultrasonic beam towards the
formation and records the amplitude and the travel
time of the reflected signal. The amplitude record is
representative of the impedance contrast between the
rocks and fluid. The travel time is used to determine
accurate borehole diameter data, which makes the
tool ideal for borehole deformation description -
stress field analysis and casing inspection.
A built in high precision orientation package
incorporating a 3 axis fluxgate magnetometer and 3
accelerometers allows orientation of the images to a
global reference and determination of the borehole’s
azimuth and inclination.
Sophisticated algorithms and real time processes are
also implemented to extend the tool applications for
casing thickness measurement, corrosion evaluation
and measurement behind a PVC casing.

The QL40ABI tool is supplied as a bottom sub of the


Quick Link (QL) product line and can be combined
with other QL40 tools to form a tool string or it can be
run as a standalone tool.
The ABI40GR is a standalone tool integrating a built
in natural gamma sensor.

Principle of measurement
The ABI produces images of the borehole wall which are based on the amplitude and time of travel
of an ultrasonic beam reflected from the formation wall. The ultrasonic energy wave is generated
by a specially designed piezoelectric ceramic crystal and has a frequency of around 1.2MHz. On
triggering, an acoustic energy wave is emitted by the transducer and travels through the acoustic
head and borehole fluid until it reaches the interface between the borehole fluid and the borehole
wall. By careful time sequencing the piezoelectric transducer acts as both transmitter of the
ultrasonic pulse and receiver of the reflected wave. The travel time for the energy wave is the period
between transmission of the source energy pulse and the return of the reflected wave measured at
the point of maximum wave amplitude. The magnitude of the wave energy is measured in dB, a unit
less ratio of the detected echo wave amplitude divided by the amplitude of the transmitted wave.
