VIKIZ High-Frequency Induction Logging Isoparametric Sounding Method
VIKIZ is designed for geophysical surveying of the open boreholes of vertical, horizontal and directional wells of 120–245 mm diameter being drilled for oil and gas, when tripping into and out of the borehole. The Complex is transported to the bottomhole on the three-core wireline.
search for both water/oil and gas/water contacts, and transition zone also
indication of a bordering zone
resistivity determination in the area from a well to the undisturbed part of formation
distinguishing reservoirs with estimation of effective thickness
visual express-estimation of the fluid saturation nature
Applications:
Vertical wells
Refinement of angles between a wellbore and formation penetrated by the wellbore
Estimation of electrical macroanisotropy in thinly bedded reservoirs
Resistivity determination of both formation and shoulder beds
Distinguishing of subhorizontal impermeable beds
Location of water/oil and gas/oil contacts within reservoir
Estimation of location of both the roof and bottom of a reservoir relative to a borehole
Wells with horizontal completion
The advantage of the method is the high spatial resolution improving the efficiency of thin-bedded formations surveying.
Specifications
Configuration
The VIKIZ equipment consists of the downhole and the surface tools. The first one includes the logging tool complex and electronic-measuring unit. The complex consists of five electromagnetic logging tools of different depths and the WP electrode.
Every logging tool contains one transmitting coil, and two receiver coils. The phase difference between voltages induced in the receivers. The recorded parameter is identically related to the resistivity of the rock, surrounding the well.
