8-1/4" LithoTrak
Accurate Density Porosity
The Baker Hughes LithoTrak LWD porosity
suite provides fully compensated and
environmentally characterized neutron
porosity, compensated density, photoelectric
effect (Pe), and acoustic borehole caliper
measurements. Two proprietary acquisition
methods ensure accurate density
measurements over a dynamic range of LWD
conditions.
The density sub features a minimum standoff
measurement section with sub-wall detectors
closely positioned to the wellbore, minimizing
sub wear effects from drilling fluids and
abrasive formations. The patented acoustic
standoff binning acquisition method separates
density counts into 0.25" incremental standoff
bins, eliminating standoff bias and optimizing
density measurement regardless of tool
position in borehole.
Features
Fully compensated and environmentally
characterized neutron porosity
Two density acquisition methods
simultaneously used downhole
16 sector azimuthal density, Pe, and borehole
caliper measurements
Real-time, full-borehole coverage density
images
Azimuthal borehole caliper and short spaced
images
Wear-protected measurement surfaces
Standoff binning compensated density and Pe
LithoTrak delivers high-resolution density and
Pe images in all mud types to gather structural
and fracture information. The tool also delivers
caliper and real-time short spaced images,
which are useful for maintaining wellbore
integrity and optimizing drilling efficiency.
These real-time measurements allow
operators to make decisions for optimized
wellbore placement for maximum reservoir
exposure, and fast reservoir evaluation.
Benefits
Identification of fluid contacts and hydrocarbon
typing
Confident in accuracy of density measurement
in LWD environment
Complete suite of real-time azimuthal
measurements for reservoir navigation and
wellbore positioning applications
Dip picking for structural analysis of borehole 8-1/4" LithoTrak
images
Real-time, oriented borehole shape and size
Breakout detection and borehole profiling via
azimuthal caliper for wellbore stability analysis
Reliable measurements for extended-reach,
long drilling, and logging runs
Accurate density regardless of tool placement
in borehole or angle of well
