Abstract
Techniques for using gravity in applications such as drilling and logging. Techniques are present for (1) gravity well logging using gravity sensors arrays; (2) creating density pseudosections using gravity measurements; (3) performing Gravity Measurement While Drilling (GMWD) using single or multiple gravity sensors; and (4) geosteering using GMWD.
Claims6
An apparatus comprising:
- a subsurface logging apparatus;
- and a plurality of gravity sensors coupled to the subsurface logging apparatus, the sensors being spaced a known, distance apart to form a gravity sensor array, where different gravity sensors are spaced at different distances from one another.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
