Consideration for Logging at
NanTroSEIZE
Prepared for Lamont Logging
Symposium
Important things
• We want to check out the original data
– We do NOT let Schlumberger do QC
• Help from LDEO-BRG is essential
– BRG specialist(s) neds onboard the LWD
expedition.
• Effective cooperation between
CDEX/TAMU/BRG. How?
• Kuroshio may not be a problem for LWD…
LWD expedition discussion
• 53 days for 6 sites: TD yet to be discussed.
• Seismic Vision: checkshot can be done during the pipe
connection. It should be done with LWD if we do not plan
same thing with WL.
• Sonic: Quality for slow formation (Vs)
• Provision: not satisfactory? JOGMEC says good.
• StethoScope:
• EcoVision is a superset of Adn
– CDEX will do eone of these.
• Who pays the cost?

Objectives of LWD Expedition
•
•
Systematic logging of common properties throughout all 6 holes from the
reference sites to the forearc basin – reference to the coring expeditions
Detection and identification of fault zone, basement, BSR, etc.
– No casing
– Hole abandon procedure for hydrologic problem
•
Fault architecture characterization
– fracture density, orientation, and conductivity
•
•
•
•
Stress Orientation through borehole breakout
Vp and density of old accretionary prism
Core-Log-Seismic Integration
Lithostratigraphic properties (Logging UNITS)
•
History of landslides
– RAB / Sonic (Mexico gave a good example)
•
Methane Hydrate study
•
•
•
Basalt will NOT be drilled, to preserve hydrological condition
Accurate positioning of hole trajectories
In-situ T&P will be estimated during later expeditions, not this?

LWD Tools and properties
•
•
geoVISION: Five different resistivity measurements and image
(RAB).
adnVISION: Porosity/Densisity/Caliper
–
–
–
–
•
Neutron porosity values strongly fluctuate at high porosity
Gamma-ray density is stable
Density image (16 sectors) is obtained by rotary density sensor
Standoff can be measured by Ultrasonic Caliper - computed
SonicVISION: Vp and Vs (only faster formation)
– Vp quality in slow formation significantly improved from ISONIC
– SeismicVISION do the checkshots simultaneously (will not take time but
costly; hydrophone at bit)
•
ProVISION: Magnetic resonance (MR) measurements
– Total porosity, free-fluid, and bound-fluid volume measurements
– Permeability can be estimated
– No radioactive sources but very expensive
•
Ecoscope:
– Multisensors in one collar (NP, D, US-Caliper, induction resisitivity,
APWD, Az-GR, elemental capture spectroscopy)
– All sensors located at less than 20 ft from the bit
– Low risk: weaker source than ADN
Scenarios for tool selection
• A) geoVISION / adnVISION / SonicVISION / SeismicVision / ProVISION /
Ecoscope
– Best scenario. ADN is not necessary if Ecoscope can be done.
• B) geoVISION / adnVISION / SonicVISION / SeismicVision / ProVISION /
Ecoscope
– Alternate for scenario A).
• C) geoVISION / adnVISION / SonicVISION / SeismicVision / ProVISION /
Ecoscope
– If we cannot afford Provision…..
• Scientific Priority

0) MWD+APWD
1) adn/Eco? + geoVision (Porosity/Densisity/Caliper + Res. Image)
2) SonicVision and/or (Vp, Vs)
3) SeismicVision (VSP checkshot) – alternate for wireline VSP
4) ProVision (NMR pore distribution)
