CBL VDL logs Basics Explaination

CBL VDL logs , Some Basics Explained. Cement Bond Log: It measures integrity of cement bond between tubing/casing and well bore. The log is typically obtained from one of a variety of sonic-type tools. The newer versions, called “cement mapping”, can give detailed, 360-degree representations of the integrity of the cement job, whereas older versions may display a single line representing the integrated integrity around the casing. Tool component for CBL currently mostly consists of following equipment: Gamma Ray/ CCL: It is used as correlation log. Gamma ray measures formation radiation and CCL records collar depth in tubing. Correlation log is a reference for a number of cased hole jobs as perforation, set plug, set patch, etc. CBL/VDL: CBL measures cement bond integrity between casing/tubing and well bore. It apply concept of acoustic wave transferring through media. VDL is the top view of the cut away of upper part of acoustic wave that represents how cement bond from casing to wellbore Caliper: Caliper measures wellbore diameter. Downhole conditions that can cause errors in acoustic CBL interpretation or reliability are as follows: Cement sheath thickness: Cement-sheath thickness may vary, causing changes in attenuation rate. The suitable cement thickness of 3/4 in. (2 cm) or more is required to achieve full attenuation. Microannulus: A microannulus is a very small gap between casing and cement. This gap would affect the CBL presentation. Running the CBL under...
