Abstract
A measurement device can be provided for a tubular string of a drilling subsystem. The measurement device can include a transmitter and a receiver. A cover can be applied to at least one of the receiver or the transmitter. While at least one of the receiver or the transmitter is covered by the cover, an amount of crosstalk can be measured. The cover can be removed from the measurement device. Subsequent to removing the cover from the measurement device, an air-hang response of the receiver and the transmitter can be measured in an air-hang configuration of the tubular string. A corrected air-hang response of the measurement device can be determined by subtracting the amount of crosstalk from the air-hang response.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a measurement device for a tubular string of a drilling subsystem, the measurement device including a receiver and a transmitter separated by a portion of the tubular string;
- applying a cover to at least one of the receiver or the transmitter;
- measuring an amount of crosstalk with at least one of the receiver or the transmitter covered by the cover;
- removing the cover from the measurement device;
- subsequent to removing the cover from the measurement device, measuring an air-hang response of the receiver and the transmitter in an air-hang configuration of the tubular string;
- and
- determining a corrected air-hang response of the measurement device by subtracting the amount of crosstalk from the air-hang response.
A tubular string comprising:
- a measurement device positionable on the tubing string and associated with a drilling subsystem, the measurement device comprising:
- a receiver;
- and
- a transmitter that is separated from the receiver by a portion of the tubing string;
- and
- a removable cover applicable to at least one of the receiver or the transmitter to facilitate measurement of an amount of crosstalk with respect to the measurement device, the removable cover removable from the measurement device to facilitate measurement of an air-hang response of the measurement device, the amount of crosstalk and the air-hang response usable to determine a corrected air-hang response.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a crosstalk response with respect to a measurement device provided for a tubular string of a drilling subsystem, the measurement device including a receiver and a transmitter separated by a portion of the tubular string, at least one of the receiver or the transmitter including a cover;
- receiving an air-hang response of the receiver and the transmitter in an air-hang configuration of the tubular string, the cover removed from the measurement device for the air-hang configuration;
- and
- determining a corrected air-hang response of the measurement device by subtracting the crosstalk response from the air-hang response.
