Compact™ Microimager Tool


Delivers high-definition, fullbore images in conductive muds


Applications

  • Visualizing complex structures
  • Identifying faults and fractures and their orientation
  • Determining structural dip
  • Defining crossbeds, thin beds, and net-to-gross ratio in sand-shale sequences
  • Identifying sand-shale facies and sand counts
  • Evaluating secondary porosity
  • Depth-matching, orientation and substitution of cores, structural and breakout analysis, and true vertical depth (TVD) analysis  


Features and Benefits

  • Eight pads with 176 measurement electrodes and excellent dynamic range measurement electronics deliver accurate microresistivity measurements and detailed, fullbore images.
  • Two offset, four-arm caliper mechanisms maintain pad contact and provide six independent caliper readings. The upper calipers provide tool centralization while the lower calipers act independently.
  • Onboard flash memory stores high-resolution images in the time domain, independently from data logged via wireline.
  • The tool is compatible with Reveal 360° image processing, a digital imaging technology that uses microresistivity measurements to deliver a complete 360° view.
  • For thru-drillpipe applications or wells with small borehole, the tool can be configured with pads for a maximum OD of 2.4 in. (61 mm).
  • The tool can be configured without pads as a multi-arm caliper tool.


Tool Description

The Compact microimager (CMI) provides high-quality formation images in water-based muds. The excellent borehole coverage and high-resolution imaging capabilities of the CMI enable enhanced reservoir characterization for more informed reservoir decisions.

The CMI consists of a memory section (MIM) and a measurement section (MIE). High-resolution, time-based data is recorded into the MIM while 3.937-in. (10-cm) log quality control data is transmitted to the surface. This tool can be run in multiple configurations for use in diverse applications.
