Borehole Imaging

High resolution images of the borehole can be used to identify a variety of geological attributes such as structural dip, faults and fractures. These images can also provide insight into the condition of the borehole, stress and rock mechanics around the borehole and assist in porosity determination.

Halliburton provides a suite of solutions for operation in water-based or oil-based muds.

ADR™ Azimuthal Deep Resistivity Sensor
LWD sensor provides deep reading (up to 18 feet into the formation), directional and high-resolution images that give early warning of approaching bed boundaries before the target zone is exited . Also provides a traditional multi-frequency compensated resistivity sensor. This one tool provides over 2,000 unique measurements for both precise wellbore placement and more accurate petrophysical analysis.
AFR™ Azimuthal Focused Resistivity Sensor
LWD sensor produces high resolution resistivity images for identifying dip, fractures and borehole breakout. Also provides an omni-directional, laterolog-type resistivity data, electrical images of the formation, and at-bit resistivity (ABR) measurement.
ALD™ Azimuthal Lithodensity Sensor
LWD tool combines azimuthal binning of data and an independent acoustic standoff sensor to provide azimuthally oriented density data and Pe logs in an enlarged borehole. In addition, images of the formation are provided, from which the formation dip can be estimated.
GABI™ Sensor - Gamma/At-Bit Inclination
LWD sensor provides at-bit azimuthal gamma ray and inclination measurements for improved geosteering and optimum well placement.
M5™ Integrated LWD Service
Integrated LWD service provides formation evaluation answers from resistivity and azimuthal gamma ray sensors and drilling optimization answers from vibration and pressure sensors.
