John Wiley & Sons Inc Electromagnetic Well Logging
Book SynopsisMathematically rigorous, computationally fast, and easy to use, this new approach to electromagnetic well logging gives the reservoir engineer a new dimension to MWD/LWD interpretation and tool design Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically. On the other hand, exact models are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply describe case studies for special applications. In either case, the models are not available for general use and the value of the publications is questionable. This new approach provides a rigorous, fully three-dimensional solution to the general problem, developed over almost two decades by a researcher familiar with practical applications and mathematical modeling. Completely validated against exact solutions and physics-based checks through over a hundred documented examples, the self-contained model (with sTable of ContentsPreface xv Acknowledgements xxi 1 Motivating Ideas – General Formulation and Results 1 1.1 Overview 1 1.2 Introduction 2 1.3 Physical Model and Numerical Formulation 4 1.4 Validation Methodology 13 1.5 Practical Applications 16 1.6 Closing Remarks 34 1.7 References 35 2 Detailed Theory and Numerical Analysis 37 2.1 Overview 37 2.2 Introduction 40 2.3 Preliminary Mathematical Considerations 47 2.4 Boundary Value Problem Formulation 58 2.5 Computational Issues and Strategies 66 2.6 Typical Simulation Results 80 2.7 Post-Processing and Applications 112 2.8 Restrictions with Fast Multi-frequency Methods 126 2.9 Receiver Design Philosophy 128 2.10 Description of Output Files 131 2.11 Apparent Resistivity Using Classic Dipole Solution 138 2.12 Coordinate Conventions for Mud and Invasion Modeling 139 2.13 Generalized Fourier Integral for Transient Sounding 140 2.14 References 141 3 Validations – Qualitative Benchmarks 142 3.1 Overview 142 3.2 Introductory Problems 148 3.3 Advanced Problems 245 3.4 Sign Conventions and Validation Methodology 277 3.5 References 279 4 Validations – Quantitative Benchmarks at 0° and 90° 280 4.1 Overview 280 4.2 Wireline Validations in Homogeneous Media 281 4.3 Wireline Validations in Two-Layer Inhomogeneous Media 304 4.4 Electric and Magnetic Field Sensitive Volume Analysis for Resistivity and NMR Applications 328 4.5 MWD “Steel Collar” and Wireline Computations in Homogeneous and Nonuniform Layered Dipping Media 340 4.6 Exact Drill Collar Validation Using Shen Analytical Solution 347 4.7 Dipole Interpolation Formula Validation in Farfield 349 4.8 Magnetic Dipole Validation in Two-Layer Formation 352 4.9 References 355 5 Quantitative Benchmarks at Deviated Angles 356 5.1 Overview 356 5.2 Limit 1.

Book SynopsisCovers the three mandatory units of the EAL Level 2 Diploma in Engineering and Technology Each compulsory unit is covered in detail with activities, practice exercises and examples where relevant Review questions are provided at the end of each chapter and a sample multiple-choice examination paper is included at the end of the book Contains expert advice that has been written in collaboration with EAL to ensure that it covers what learners need to know Answers to selected questions in the book, together with other supporting resources, can be found at the book's companion website. Numerical answers are provided in the book itself. Written specifically for the EAL Level 2 Diploma in Engineering and Technology, this book covers the three mandatory units on this course: Engineering Environment Awareness, Engineering Techniques, and Engineering Principles. Within each unit, the Learning Outcomes are covered in detailTrade ReviewGary Appleton, EAL engineering assessor (non-teaching role):A good, clear and constructive publication, detailing the engineering mathematics and science principles that provides the learner with a good level of reference whilst engaging with a good range of tasks to verify the learning outcomes.Nothing negative to say, the level is aimed at level 2 with sufficient detail.Topics referenced that should be added as case studies even if not covered in the syllabus: lean manufacturing principles and maintenance engineering technology.Steve McGurk, engineering tutor/assessor at Cornwall Marine Network:Good use of practical examples such as Low Voltage Power Supply and "test your knowledge" activities require comprehension.Too much detail in some sections and incorrect figure references in text (note that the sample material is from another book and will have quite a lot of material taken out as well as the language level lowering).Topics referenced that should be added as case studies even if not covered in the syllabus:Composite Materials – Properties/Applications/Processes3D Printing- Types of media/ApplicationsTable of ContentsPreface Unit 1 Engineering Environmental Awareness 1.
