Radial Bond Log (RBL)
The Radial Bond log Tool provides proven superior reliability and responsiveness even in thin cement sheath conditions. With circumferential cement bond evaluation, the RBL identifies channels, in addition to standard cement bond logging. The main application of the Radial Bond Log Tool is to evaluate hydraulic isolation between producing and non-producing zones– a key factor needed to assess the integrity of the well. Description of Radial Bond Log In addition to standard cement bond amplitude (CBL) through near receiver (3-ft), and variable density log (VDL) through far receiver (5-ft), the RBL tool provides a cement map through eight receivers (Radial @2Ft ), each segment covering 45° section of the pipe which gives a complete 360° evaluation of bond integrity. A single piezoelectric transmitter with a transducer central resonance frequency of 20KHz provides the source of energy for all 8 piezoelectric sector receivers, as well as ...
