RADii® Cement-Bond Tool - Large Diameter


Identifies cement channeling as well as generates the traditional cement bond log and a variable-density log


Applications

  • Cement-bond quality
  • Formation isolation
  • Cement channeling


Features and Benefits

  • Fully Probe® high-speed digital (HD) platform compatible
  • Full SRO and memory capability
  • Master calibration storage in tool memory retrievable when no free pipe is encountered in the well
  • High temperature (HT) version for hostile environments


Tool Description

The Weatherford large diameter RADii segmented cement-bond tool uses a single ceramic transmitter, a sixteen-segment receiver at 3 ft, and a single receiver at 5-ft spacing. The segmented receiver generates a cement map enabling identification of cement channeling while the single receiver generates the traditional cement-bond log (CBL) and a variable-density log (VDL).

The large diameter RADii segmented cement bond tool comes in two configurations: Probe telemetry (PTX) and HD.
