Section 2: Safety

Danger to Personnel

Refer to the Halliburton Management System (HMS) for the Logging and Perforating ServiceDelivery Linkage of Processes. The HMS processes can be found at the following link:

http://halworld.halnet.com/WRK/WRKhms/wrkhms_content/processes/HES/HES_Logging/NetFiles/LP-GL-HES-LP-000.htm

General safety guidelines are also covered in publication 770.00356, Safety and Health Manual.Detailed information on all associated HSE risks are provided as well as links to all safetyrelated manuals.

High Voltages

When the CAST-V electronics is out of the chassis, high voltages are present at some points inthe electronics. Care must be taken when working on the tool to prevent electrical shocks. Onlyqualified technicians should attempt repairs on the electronics.

The CAST-V is a DITS tool and is powered with 120 VAC for the instrument and up to 250 VDCfor the scanner motor. Care must be taken to observe all safety precautions when working withthe tool.

Heavy Equipment

CAST-V has three sections which are fairly heavy. Use proper lifting techniques when lifting thetool to avoid back injury. Use lifting aids as much as possible and do not attempt to lift the toolby yourself. Seek help from others.

Section

2/6/2009 7 CAST-V FOM

Section 3: Equipment Hazards

Risk of equipment damage exists if the CAST-V scanner is not handled properly. The scannershaft must never be subjected to any load as this can permanently bend the shaft resulting in

severe damage to the tool. The scanner head must be protected during transportation as well.The scanner head must never be dragged along the catwalk while rigging up at the well site.

• Do not subject the scanner shaft to any loading.

• Protect the scanner head while transporting or rigging up at the wellsite.

• Do not drag the scanner head on the cat walk while rigging up.

• Make sure there is enough oil in the tool before running in the hole.

Use extreme caution when lifting the Scanner Assembly. The Scanner’s motor shaft canbe easily bent or damaged if it is not handled properly. The Scanner Assembly should belifted and lowered in the well separately from the CAST-V Electronic Assembly.

Use extreme care when handling the transducers. These devices are sensitive to shock

and vibration. Avoid bumping or hitting these devices.

Ensure that the CAST-V pressure-balance system contains oil to the proper level andthat the oil is contaminant-free after every logging job. Both contaminated oil or low oillevels can cause severe damage to the tool even if the tool is operating in wells wherethe temperature and pressure are within normal specifications. Contaminated oil andlow oil levels significantly reduce the operating temperature and pressure limits of thetool.

Do not exceed CAST-V pressure, temperature, or electrical limits during operation.

Do not “spud” with the tool; otherwise, damage to the motor shaft or face seal may

occur.

Section 4 – Well Site Operations

Section 6: Preparation

CAST-V is a Digital Interactive Telemetry System (DITS) tool and can be run using the INSITEsurface system (LOGIQ) or CLASS software; however, this manual will discuss how to operatethe tool in INSITE only.

Preparing the CAST-V Tool For Logging Operation

Perform the PM-1 checks on the tool. Refer to the Preventive Maintenance (PM-1) forthe tool in the FOM (P/N 100009549 & 1000009443).Determine the proper head and transducer for the casing size to be logged using theplanner (refer to Appendix A). It is imperative that the appropriate head size andtransducer frequency be used to record quality log data.Install the appropriate transducer and head onto the Scanner and evacuate and fill theScanner with oil (refer to the maintenance section of the service manual P/N100009548).

Insert the Directional Sub into the tool string. In cased hole applications, the CAST-VDirectional Sub provides hole deviation and relative-bearing information. This sub isinserted between the CAST-V Electronics Assembly and the Scanner Assembly. TheStand Alone DITS Directional Tool (SDDT) must be used instead of the directional subin all open hole imaging application. The SDDT is inserted above the CAST-Velectronics when used in the tool string. Additionally, if a DITS Casing Collar Locator(CCL) is used, the CCL is installed above the telemetry cartridge.

Section

2/6/2009 7-12 CAST-V FOM

Section 7: Ensure the tool string iscentralized properly. Proper centralization iscritical in recording good quality data. In

cased hole wells, sufficient number ofcentralizers must be used to maintaineccentricity to less than 0.2 in.



2/6/2009 8-13 CAST-V FOM

Section 8: Configuring the Logging System

This document describes running CAST-V with the LOGIQ system. On the LOGIQsystem, the Digital Interface Model Panel (DIMP) main selector switch should be set toDITS to run the CAST-V service. On other surface systems, the appropriate switchesmust be configured correctly to run the service.

Setting Up the Logging Service

Logging Operation

Monitor the tool null meter while going into the hole. The meter will drift slightly as theline is being spooled off the drum.Monitor the Motor Speed (MSPD) while lowering the toolstring in the hole. The MSPDmay vary with fluid viscosity; however, it should remain fairly constant and will slowdown if it hits an obstruction with the motor current rising considerably.Display data monitor and the graphic interface. Verify tool is functioning properly bymonitoring data from both screen.Once the toolstring is lowered to the logging depth, adjust the motor speed to the valuerecommended by the planner and start logging by adjusting the DC1 power supply. Usethe CAST-V View and display to ensure the tool is functioning properly and that theparameters desired are been used.

While logging the main pass, check the log with other repeated sections of the well.Monitor the amplitude values and select the pallet scale accordingly.Rig down the toolstring opposite the order which it was rigged up. Make certain to laythe scanner down separately.Wash the tools. Make certain that the Scanner Mud Cell and the piston compensationarea is washed thoroughly free of well fluid and debris.

Logging Screen-CAST-V View-Imaging Mode

The graphic interface (CAST-V View ) contains useful information about the operation of

the tool as follows:Position Reference. This parameter refers to the reference to which the image data isaligned. It is recommended to align to azimuth of pad1 in open hole and the relativebearing in cased hole.CAST-VI Data Light. This light comes on when the tool is sending valid data and offwhen no data is being sent. The data here refers to telemetry data.Motor Speed (MSPD). This is the actual scanner head rotational speed (rps). Thedisplay is green when the value is less than the maximum and red when it is greaterthan the maximum allowable valueMotor current. This variable displays the actual motor current. Should be same orclose to value displayed on the Sorensen power supply (amp).

Max. Line Speed. This is the maximum logging speed as recommended by planner.This parameter is calculated based on the number of shots/scan and scan/ft required forthe application.Max Amp. This is the largest measured amplitude of the first arrival waveform for thesample point.Min Amp. This is the smallest measured amplitude of the first arrival waveform for thesample point.Max Radius: This is the largest measured internal radius of the borehole measured for



2/6/2009 8-23 CAST-V FOM

the sample point.Min Radius. This is the smallest measured radius for the sample point.

The operator can change the gate start time, display the waveform and freeze the waveform ifdesired.

Logging Screen: CAST-V View--Cased Hole Mode

Figure 17. CAST-V Cased Hole Graphic Interface

The Cased Hole Graphic Interface displays the following information:

Number of Waveforms. There is a drop down box that enables the operator to selectthe number of waveforms to display (1-20). The waveforms are displayed in a windowwith the waveform numbers.CAST-VH Data. This light is green when the tool is sending data and gray when no datais being sent.Sequence. This is a counter that should be increasing when the tool is functioningproperly.Motor Speed. This indicates the motor speed in revolution per second.



2/6/2009 8-24 CAST-V FOM

Motor Current. This indicates the motor current downhole. The motor current should bestable when the motor is rotating at a constant speed.Max Log Speed. This is the maximum logging speed as determined by the planner.Position Reference. This is the reference to which the tool position in the borehole isaligned. In cased hole, the reference should be to the relative bearing.

In Cased Hole Mode, the gate start time is fixed at 30 micro-seconds. The graphicdisplay also shows the Impedance, radius and thickness as well.

Another window is used to display Bad Shot Indicators (BSI) as shown in Figure 18.:

Figure 18. Bad Shot Indicator Window

Bad Shot Indexes

The following are the bad shot indexes monitored by the system:Tool Pick Error . This error occurs when the first arrival picked by the tool is not correct.Those shots with bad pick time errors will be indicated by bars with green color acrossthem.Travel Time Error . This error occurs when the calculated travel time is in error. This

Bad Shots Indicator



2/6/2009 8-25 CAST-V FOM

error is indicated by blue bars across the affected shots.Thickness Calculation Error. This error occurs when the computed casing thicknesscalculated based on the resonance window information is wrong. Bars in cyan show upacross the affected shots.Impedance Calculation Error. This occurs when the impedance calculation is wrong.

Red bars are shown across the shots affected.

The graphic interface also contains the main transducer’s display window that simulatesthe mode the tool is being run. A second window shows the main transducer waveformwith the option to display any of the shots in a scan.

Other outputs that are displayed on the logging graphic interface window are:

Amplitude. This is the peak amplitude of the first arrival waveform as detected by thesoftware.Ovality (OVAL). This is = ((maximum/minimum)-1.0). It is a measure of how round the

borehole or casing internal surface is.Eccentricity (ECTY). This value is computed as the maximum absolute value of 50possible differences between sets of opposing valid acoustic caliper values. Theeccentricity is an indication of how well centered the tool is in the bore hole. The amountof shift from the center of the hole is the value of the eccentricity.

The typical range for FTT is between 180 to 220 µsec/ft. Oil-based muds have alonger FTT (210 to 220), while fresh and salt muds have a shorter FTT (189 to 210).Many factors (e.g., additives and solids in the mud) will affect the fluid travel time,but the tool should still measure FTT within the expected range if the tool is workingproperly. FTT is used in calculating the casing diameter, so if it appears that the

measurement transducer is operating properly and the mud cell is not, the FlashTable parameter can be changed to use a “fixed TT” for the mud cell. This may bethe case when the mud-cell transducer fails, or if debris accumulates on the mud-cellface.

The fluid travel time is used in the acoustic-impedance

calculations. If there is a mud-cell failure, the thickness calculation

will be in error. The fixed value for FTT can be estimated from the

before-survey calibration.

Average Casing OD (AVOD). The AVOD of the casing is calculated by the addition ofthe average ID of the pipe [(calculated from the effective head radius, transit time (TT),and the fluid travel time (FTT)] and the wall thickness of the casing (calculated in thetool from the resonance of the reflected signal). The AVOD calculation is as follows:

AVOD = AVID + 2 * AVTK

The average OD should very closely reflect the casing OD of the pipe being

logged. The AVOD will display the nominal casing OD from the Flash Table inthe “RANG” mode.

Acoustic Impedance (AVZ). This value is calculated from the resonance sum(Sw), the casing thickness (Ct), and the calibration coefficients (a0, b0, c0, d0) derived

from all valid waveform of each scan. The algorithm corrects for all environmentaldisparity. The equation used for the computation is:

Z = a0 + b0Ct + c 0 Log (Sw) + d0Ct Log(Sw)

Where Z is the acoustic Impedance (in MRayls). Ct is the casing wall thickness(in inches). AVNS is the ratio of the absolute sum of the 64 data points in theresonance window divided by the peak amplitude of the first arrival. ZREF is theacoustic Impedance of the material behind casing at the calibration point.

Figure 19. Resonance Window for Casing Thickness and Cement ImpedanceCalculations

Free pipe with water behind the casing typically has an acoustic impedance of 1.5MRayls. For other common acoustic-impedance values, refer to the table under heading2.4, Log.

Section 5 – Log Quality

Log quality control for the CAST-V is critical to ensure accurate data is obtained at the wellsite.The engineers must perform real time log quality control while logging. The CAST-V GUIcontains some bad shot indicators that can help monitor tool performance in real time therebyenabling any errors to be captured.

Figure 18. CAST-V LQC Indicators

Section

5



2/6/2009 8-29 CAST-V FOM

These Bad Shot Indicators (BSI) are circled in Figure 18. and are the basic quality controlsequences for CAST-V measurements. These error counts must be monitored closely duringlogging. The detailed explanation of the errors is as follows:

Tool Pick Error. This indicates an error in the down hole firmware picking of the point on thewaveform train where to start searching for the first arrival peak amplitude. When this occurs, a

counter shows up indicating the number of shots with bad pick time detected by the tool perscan. This error is caused usually by targets too close or too far, highly attenuating medium orhighly eccentered tool. Shots with this flag set are not processed.Transit Time Error. This flag is set when the transit time calculated by either the downhole oruphole software is not consistent. The consistency is measured between the peak of the firstreflection and the start time based on the calculated transducer frequency. This is important forthe waveform mode (Casing thickness and cement evaluation). A blue dat will appear in theimage graphic display when the transit time error occurs.Casing Thickness Error. This flag is set when the casing thickness calculated from a shot lessthan 0.1” and more than 0.9” (0.1<Thk>0.9). The number of shots with this flag set is alsodisplayed.Impedance Error. This flag is set when the calculated impedance is negative or greater than

60 MRayls. The results are presented but flagged to indicate that they are not reliable.

A bar is displayed across the shots with a particular error.

The color of the bar display is the same as that of the error

situation detected (Red, Green Cyan and blue).

Eccentricity. This is an indication how centralized the tool is in the bore hole. Adequatecentralization is very important for the CAST-V tool. Eccentricity should be less that0.25”. Higher value of eccentricity indicates lack of centralization and may jeopardizethe quality of the data.

Ovality. This is an indication of how round the bore hole shape is. The ovality of thebore hole will affect the angle of reflection of the ultrasonic waves from the transducerand therefore the amplitude of the arrival signals.

Fluid Travel Time (FTT). The fluid TT should be stable and fairly constant. The fluidTT may decrease slowly from TD to casing shoe due to solids settling at the bottom ofthe bore hole.

Transducer Frequency. Transducer frequency reported by the tool should be close tocalibrated values through the log.

When run in combination with CBL, the impedance, pipe amplitude and the MSG shouldcorrelate well.

Directional Sub Check

The Directional Sub requires two types of measurement checks: a magnetometer-measurement check (the azimuth) and an inclinometer-measurement check (the relative

bearing and deviation). The two-axis magnetometer measures the tool orientation withrespect to the magnetic north, while the two-axis inclinometer measures tool orientationwith respect to the high-side-of-hole, and hole deviation. Thus, the Directional Sub mustbe set up on the test stand, powered up by the logging system, and placed in severalpositions such that readings from the test stand and the logging system can be takenand compared. Comparing the readings from the logging system and the test stand willdetermine the operating condition of the Directional Sub.



2/6/2009 8-34 CAST-V FOM

Use the following steps to ensure the Directional Sub is operating properly:

Align the Test Stand (100145231) using a compass and a level (Figure 3.1).

Ensure that the test stand is as far away from all metals that can cause magnetic

disturbance, and then position the stand on a flat, smooth surface.Using a compass, align the test stand with respect to magnetic north (Figure 3.1). Adjust the three screws at the base of the test stand until the stand is level. Use a levelto measure offset. Also, use the level to set the cradle vertical, and then set theadjustable pointer on the semi-circular disk to 0 degree.

Install the Directional Sub Chassis Assembly (100144795) onto the test stand (Figure3.1).



2/6/2009 8-35 CAST-V FOM

Install the adapter (100144846) onto the test stand using three socket-head cap screws(100112207). Notice that the threads of these screws are metric.Mount the Directional Sub Chassis in test stand by inserting the lower DITS connectorinto the adapter (100144846). Place the upper bracket (100144847) over the top DITSconnector and clamp it to the test stand. Ensure that the chassis can be rotated freely,

and that the top bracket is placed low enough on the tool to allow the jumper cable to beplugged into the top of the Directional Sub.Connect the 37-pin jumper cable (100010329) from the top of the Directional Chassisand to the bottom of the CAST-V Electronics (100144828). Use the standard 19-pinDITS jumpers to connect the DSTU/D2TS and the cable head to complete the toolstring.Ensure the EXCELL 2000 logging system is set up properly (refer to Section 2 underheading 2.1.1.2, Configuring the Logging System,XL2000-B). Next, enter ServiceSelection 2330 on the EXCELL 2000, and then select the DGR configuration to displayazimuth, relative bearing and deviation on the standard logging screen.

Use the following to check the Directional Sub Magnetometer:3.

1. Position the Directional Sub Chassis and cradle to vertical, with the pointeron the semicircular disc set to 0 degree.

2. Rotate the Directional Sub Chassis and cradle until the fixed pointer onthe cradle aligns with 0 degree on the circular disc. The DITS buttonshould now be aligned with north, and the logging screen should display 0degree ± 3 degrees for AZIMUTH.

3.4. If the value for the azimuth is not within ± 3 degrees, refer to the

Directional Sub Test Procedure (770.10566) for instructions onadjusting the magnetometer circuitry. If the value of the azimuth is

consistently off tolerance in the same direction (e.g., each reading

is 3.5 degrees clockwise of the true azimuth), then either the

magnetometer is out of position, or the test stand was not oriented

correctly. In either case, it may not be necessary to go through the

entire Directional Sub Test Procedure.

5. Rotate the Directional Sub Chassis and cradle clockwise at 45-degree

increments, and compare the circular disc readings with the logging

screen AZIMUTH readings. If both readings are within ± 3 degrees at

each increment, then the Directional Sub Magnetometers are functioningcorrectly.

Use the following to check the Directional Sub inclinometer:4.

With the Directional Sub chassis and cradle still positioned to vertical (as was done in

step 3.a. of this procedure), verify that the reading for DEVIATION on the logging

screen displays 0 degree ± 2 degrees.



2/6/2009 8-36 CAST-V FOM

Incline the Directional Sub chassis and cradle to 45 degrees and then 90 degrees

(Figure 3.2). Compare the semi-circular disc reading to the logging screen DEVIATION

reading for each setting. The semi-circular disc readings and the logging screen

DEVIATION readings should be within ± 2 degrees.Incline the Directional Sub chassis and cradle to 5 degrees on the semi-circular disc

(see Figure 3.3) and rotate the Directional Sub and cradle to 0 degree on the circulardisc. The logging screen should display 0 degree ± 2 degrees for RELATIVE

BEARING.

a.



2/6/2009 8-37 CAST-V FOM

Accuracy and stability of the relative bearing reading

decreases in deviations of less than 2 degrees.

With the Directional Sub and cradle set at a 5-degree deviation, rotate the cradlecircular disk clockwise in 45-degree increments, and monitor the circular disc reading

and the RELATIVE BEARING reading on the logging screen at each increment. The

circular disc readings and the RELATIVE BEARING readings should agree within ± 2

degrees.

Repeat step d. at 45-degree and 90-degree deviations (counterclockwise from 5

degrees). If the circular disc readings and the logging screen RELATIVE BEARING

readings are within ± 2 degrees for each setting, then the Directional Sub inclinometers

are functioning correctly.

Switch to the Processed Telemetry Logging Screen, and verify that the temperature as

indicated on the logging screen is within 9 degrees of the ambient temperature.

3.3.4 Scanner Assembly

• Wash the Scanner Assembly thoroughly to remove all debris, such as shale andmud. Direct the water stream into the slotted end cap of the pressure-balancecylinder (under the slots in the cylinder cover) until the water flows out clean.

Wash the area around the rotating shaft, where it exists the lower end of the tool;this washing cleans the area around the face seal.

• Using the pressure-balance piston gage, verify that the tool contains the properoil level. If the piston gage measures low, evacuate and fill the tool using theprocedure under heading 3.3.4.1 of this manual.

• Visibly inspect all exposed O-rings for cuts or nicks, and replace them asneeded. Refer to the CAST-V Service Manual for the seal guidelines.

• Redress the threaded ring. Use the proper lubricant to grease the threaded ringand the other seals. Refer to Section 3, Disassembly/Assembly, of the CAST-VService Manual (100009548) for instructions on how to service the threaded ringand for the list of approved lubricants.

• Check all pins and insulators at the top of the tool and replace if necessary.• Perform the following PM-1 checks. Use only the Simpson 260 VOM for these

checks.

CAST-V Scanner Oil-Fill Procedure

The Scanner Assembly holds approximately 2 quarts (1.75 liters) of oil. Therecommended oil for the CAST-V Scanner is Exxon Turbo Oil 2380 (100124775). Thisoil should not be substituted or mixed with any other types of oil either in the tool or inthe vacuum fill system under any circumstances; otherwise, tool contamination will

result. Refer to engineering drawings 100144779 and 100144780, and the procedurebelow for evacuating and filling the Scanner’s pressure-balance system. Notice that thenumbers in parentheses represent the location numbers on drawing 100144780, unlessspecified otherwise.

Ensure the Scanner Assembly is supported securely on the tool dolly.Remove the check-valve assembly to evacuate the tool. There are two evacuation portson the Scanner body and on the transducer holder. The upper port on the housing isthreaded deep for a removable check valve (47) as shown on drawing 100144780.Install the three oil-fill tubes (P/N 100144811) and evacuate using Exxon Turbo Oil (P/N100124775) per Spec 770.00013.

Do not attempt to seal a vacuum leak at the face seal by applying silicon grease

around the shaft. The vacuum leak will suck the grease inside the tool and cause

damage to the sealing surfaces of the face seal. If a leak persists, remove the fill

tube at the bottom of the head and install the oil plug. Stand the tool vertical with

the head in a large container filled with turbo oil. The oil in the container must

completely cover the face seal area. Secure the tool vertically and continue

evacuation.

Once the tool is filled with oil, remove the fill tubes and install the lower scanner plug(25) and the head plug. Install the check valve (47) in the upper fill port and reinstall a filltube.

The check valve must bottom out in the housing so that the fill plug

to be installed above it properly.



2/6/2009 8-41 CAST-V FOM

Install a piece of ¼-inch Tygon tubing (or similar tubing) to a hand-pressure pump filledwith Turbo oil. Stroke the pump several times to bleed any air from the tubing and topoff the fill tube with oil. Secure the tubing to the fill tube with a small hose clamp.

a. Pump the piston back with oil until the score mark on the oil fill gage (100144846)is aligned with the inside face of the spring cap (45). See Figure 3.4 and drawing

100144779 for the piston set dimension and gage position.



2/6/2009 8-42 CAST-V FOM

b. Bleed the pressure off the pump. Remove the oil-fill tube and install the fill-portplug. It is not uncommon for the check valve to leak a small amount of oil. If thecheck valve leaks excessively and will not hold pressure, remove the check valveand clean it by depressing the ball and blowing air or by soaking the it in solventto remove any debris between the ball and seat. If the check valve continues to

leak, use a small brass flat tip punch to strike the ball from the washer and springside. Striking the ball will increase the seat sealing area. If the check valvecontinues to leak excessively, remove the valve and wrap the threads with teflontape. Wrap only the thread area--tape across other areas must be trimmed away.

Install the cover (28).

CAST-V SPARE PARTS

Spare parts for the CAST-V are categorized by four type of lists. These lists are asfollows:

Accessory List (707.55636). This list includes items that are needed to run the

service, or to perform the master calibration or any other field calibration. Accessoryparts include calibration stands, special makeup jigs, etc. Special lab equipmentneeded for the CAST-V, such as assembly/disassembly tools, is also included here.Parts not included are those that are used in mandatory factory rebuilds.Primary Spare Parts List (707.55637). This list contains parts that must be aquiredwith the tool, even if there is a backup tool. The parts in this list are high failure rateitems that are deemed necessary to provide quick field location repairs.Optional Spare Parts List (707.55638). This list contains a much morecomprehensive (and expensive) list of parts. The parts in this list are for remotelocations buying two tools, but with difficult logistics for importing spare parts (i.e., nohand carries, no commuters, weight/cost import limitations for air freight, etc.).Personnel at these remote locations may have to seriously consider whether parts onthis list are necessary, even if these locations have two tools.Preventive Maintenance (PM-1) Supplies List (707.55639). This list contains parts(e.g., O-rings, oil, screws, etc.) that are used only for few runs. Since the items in thislist are replaced more often than other parts in the tool, always make sure that theproper quantity for each run is maintained.

1) Introduction

The new CAST Job Planner (CJP) provides a single screen interface for planning both a CAST-V(INSITE only) or a CAST-V (CLASS or INSITE) job and for visualizing the most important parameters

and features that may affect the data acquisition and the final CAST log output. Future versions willcover for the INSITE and for the Monocable (Ultralink telemetry) versions of the CAST, as they becomeavailable. The figure below presents a sample view of the new Planner, configured for a CAST-V tool.




2) Overview

The new CAST Job Planner (CJP) provide in a single screen a complete visualization of all majorinputs and outputs required for successfully programming a CAST log. It intends to covers all differentversions of CAST tools. At the time of this writing, March of 2006, it handles the CAST-V and theCAST-V (CAST-V).

It also handles different pipe materials, such as fiberglass, chrome and titanium or a user defined (by Acoustic Slowness and Density) material.

The CJP was programmed so as to immediately display a newly computed screen display each timethe user changes an input that can affect a result. A change normally requires a click, a mouse focus

change or pressing the ENTER key to take effect. Also, changes in font colors and remarks are used toprovide immediate feedback about the validity of the job setup parameters’ set.

The new Planner also aims to help the user better understand CAST logging, focusing on the logic thatlies behind the data acquisition.

When the CJP is loaded it displays a set of values corresponding to a configuration setup for a CasedHole Cement Inspection Job in a 7”, 23 lbs/ft casing. The Data Acquisition Timing Diagram is empty atthis point. A full set of results and a complete CJP screen is only obtained after the clicking a radiobutton or a check box or after entering a new value into one of the text input boxes. The text inputboxes have built-in value limits – for instance the Fluid Weight input box will only accept valuesbetween 4.00 and 25.00. Similar validation logic also applies in other cases. As an additional example

you can not check the Extended Cans box if you have the Adjustable Head box unchecked, as you cannot install an extended can if you don’t have such a scanning head available. In summary, there are anumber of context-based constraints that the CJP takes in consideration. Many context sensitivefeatures may be allowed, blanked or automatically set by the Planner. This behavior depends mainly onthe Tool Type, on the Well Environment, on the type of Application or on the Planner running mode.Most items displayed on the CJP have mouse-over tips providing on-spot help. In fact they make agreat part of this document quite redundant.

The first entries to be selected are the Well Environment (CH or OH), the Application (service type –Cement Inspection, Casing Inspection or Imaging) and the Tool Type (CAST-V or CAST-V as of March/ 2006). After this point the user starts to enter the input parameters grouped in 3 panels on the upperleft side of the Planner and (if needed) his data acquisition setup, including some DITS tools that he

may be combining with the CAST.

Abundant use of colors is made to provide immediate visual feedback on possible service configurationproblems. A “catch-all” type of feature is the Results Validation bar.

After entering the required inputs the user is advised to click on the command button “Show the INSITEService Configuration Window”. A window - shown in the next page - listing the user inputs and the CJPoutputs that must be entered in the CAST service configuration (INSITE) pops up. The right side panel

Important Note: The new CAST Job Planner (CJP) must be run using a minimum screenresolution of 1024 X 768 pixels. A screen resolution of 1280 X 1024 pixels or better isrecommended.




A second mode - named Simulation Mode – is intended as a “what-if” type tool, allowing the user to obtain

results under a simulated configuration setup different from the configuration recommended by the Planner. Thismode is very useful for testing the feasibility of running the CAST service under certain arbitrary conditions relatedto the job environment and / or to the tool / system setup. In Simulation Mode the user is allowed to choose anImaging transducer. The only present difference between the existing transducer that causes different outputs isthe fact that the Effective Head Radius (EHR) of the stepped transducer is .15” less than the EHR of the flattransducers.B - The Input Panels

These panels are covered are covered in sections 3) and 4) of this document. They group the primary userentries related to the well environment (casing size / weight, well ID, fluid properties, outer casing, etc) and to thescanning head and tool setup (maximum eccentricity, available heads, head sizes for simulation purposes, etc).

C - The Results Panel

This panel groups the most important output parameters, some of which must be entered for properly setting upthe INSITE real time data acquisition service. These service configuration outputs are the Transducer Type, theScanning Head type and transducer position (translated by the Eff. Head Radius parameter). These configurationoutputs have a distinguished color from most other outputs.

D- The Results Validation Bar

This bar, located right below the Results panel, shows in different colors (BLUE, RED or BROWN) to indicate thevalidity of the current Planner configuration setup.

E - The Remarks Panel




This panel contains 4 fields for displaying text messages. In most cases these messages carry diagnosticsinformation to help the user figure out the origin of the trouble detected by the Planner in the job configurationparameters. Some remarks may also be purely informative. As there is a maximum displaying capacity, themessages are normally ranked in terms of importance.

Note: A 5th Remark Field is displayed on the upper right side of the Planner. Its main purposes are to indicate

problems and to provide a more textual description of the transducer’s position inside the scanning head.




F - The Data Acquisition Timing Diagram

This new feature displays horizontal bars and vertical tabs showing the main timing events related with wellultrasonic data acquisition. Additionally, the most important landmarks are textually described on the diagram.

The figure below illustrates the Timing Diagram for TA (Time / Amplitude) mode.

G - The INSITE Service Configuration Window

The INSITE Service Configuration Window (ISCW) is displayed by clicking on the command bottom illustratedbelow, which is located right below the Data Acquisition Timing Diagram.

The figure below shows an ISCW example. Each time an input parameter is changed the ISCW disappears.




The panel on the right side of the ISCW displays the parameters produced by the Planner that must be entered bythe user into the INSITE parameter editor to configure the job accordingly. The telemetry setup field displays therecommended / simulated telemetry option in terms of DITS words reserved for the CAST service. You should beaware that the highest bandwidth option (612 words / DITS frame) can only be used by the CAST-V (CAST-V)and that the 170 words/frame and the 238 words/frame telemetry options do not apply to the CAST-V. These 2options (170 wpf and 238 wpf) are only used by the CAST-V.

The Fluid Travel Time (FTT), shown on the left side panel (User Inputs), is normally not a direct entry into thePlanner, unless the user knows it anticipatedly or wants to use a fixed FTT. In most cases this value will havebeen derived by the Planner based on the fluid type (Water or Oil based) and on the fluid weight inputs.

H - The Planner’s Title Bar

The caption on the Planner’s title bar reflects the main setup parameters that influence the service setting both inCLASS and in INSITE, which are:

1. The running mode. In Recommendation mode no mention to the running mode is done but in Simulation thetitle wording explicitly mentions it.




2. The Data Acquisition mode: Imaging (Time & Amplitude – TA) or Waveforms (WF) mode.

3. The Pipe Material - always explicitly shown on the Planner’s title.




3) Starting the Planner …

The CAST Job Planner (CJP) can be run both as a “free-riding” stand alone application or it can be called fromthe CAST service in INSITE. This program uses the Matlab Components Run Time library (MCR), which must beinstalled in your computer before you can use it. It takes quite a while to show on the screen when using MCRversions prior to 7.1, which is the version currently (Mar-2006) featured in INSITE.

When running CJP as a stand-alone program, select the Run command in Windows, change the current directoryto C:\CJP (if installed in the C drive) and type CJP. When running it from INSITE just double-click the Job Plannerbutton to start the CJP application.

The top of the CJP screen looks like this:

This is called the Primary Input Panel. Basic information should be entered by the user in these 3 panels, whichtell the Planner the following information:

1. The Well Environment. Two options are available:a. Cased Hole – CH. The Planner allows any operating mode (TA or WF).b. Open Hole – OH. The Planner forces using the TA mode.

2. The Application. Three options are available:

a. Cement Inspection – this option forces the tool to transmit waveforms, i.e. it must operate in WFmode. The Planner also sets the Vertical Resolution to 4 scans / ft. This can be changed only byrunning the Planner in Simulation Mode.

b. Pipe Inspection – the only difference between this application and Cement Inspection is theVertical Resolution, automatically set by the Planner (in Recommendation Mode) to 12 scans / ft.

c. Imaging – this is equivalent to plan for the tool to operate in TA mode. Therefore, Imaging and TAmode are equivalent. Notice that you can this application applies to any well environment (CHand OH).

3. The Tool Type. Four options are shown but only two are active as of March-2006:a. CAST-V – the DITS CAST-V tool.b. CAST-V – the DITS CAST-V tool.c. UltraLink CAST – future product, inactive button.

d. INSITE CAST – future product, inactive button.

These 3 choices set the context for planning a CAST job. ThePlanner will automatically change some labels, based on thesettings of these three panels. It will also allow certain choicesand disallow the ones that make no sense in the job context. Asan example, in Imaging (TA) mode it allows the user to choosewhich transducer to use, as shown by the picture on the right.




The user should have clearly in mind what the implications of each of these options are. The table presentedbelow presents the main features provided by each option.

An additional feature of the new Planner is the ability to program a job for pipes made from a material differentfrom steel. In this respect the Planner is ahead of the real time software, which presently does not yet providesupport for any pipe material except steel. This is presented in this section because it would be one of the mostfundamental user inputs.

The data acquisition can still benefit from this new feature but because it has notbeen yet tested in practice (as of March-2006) you are advised to use it withcaution and contact the CAST Subject Matter Expert if a job shows up forlogging in non-steel pipes.

This choice is activated from the top menu (=> Environment => Pipe Material).The window shown below pops up main CJP disappears. After selecting thepipe material, the CJP screen is displayed again.

Among 4 defined materials a Custom Material option is also presented. Thecustom material is defined, for the purposes of the Planner in terms of its

Acoustic Slowness and its Density.

Most outputs presented by the Planner, including transducer type and scanning headsize are affected by the material choice.

When the Planner starts it comes in Recommendationmode. To perform Simulations just check the box(“Run the Planner in Simulation Mode”) shown by the

picture on the right.




4) The User Input Panels

The User Input panels are comprised by:

• The Fluid Properties panel

• The Pipe / Well Data panel

• The Other Inputs panel

The outlook of each one of these panels may vary, depending on the well environment (Open Hole or CasedHole), on the service type (Imaging -TA or Cement / Pipe Inspection – WF), on the mode (Recommendation orSimulation) and on the user’s choice for the Fluid Travel Time which can be either estimated by the Planner ordirectly typed in. These different configurations are represented in the figures displayed below.

A) The Fluid Properties Panel

The main purpose of this panel is to deliver a Fluid Travel Time (FTT) upon which many of the calculations usedfor setting up the service configuration depend. When the FTT is Known box is not checked the Planner uses thefluid type (OBM – oil based mud or WBM – water based mud) and the fluid weight to estimate FTT. FTTinfluences all timing calculations displayed by the Planner.

FTT can also be directly input, by checking the FTT is Known box. This option is shown on the right hand sidefigured shown above.

B) The Pipe / Well Data Panel

This panel changes its lay-out based on the well environment – OH or CH.

In cased holes the user must type in the pipe Outer Diameter (OD) and the pipe Weight. These entries are usedfor calculating pipe Internal Diameter (ID) and pipe thickness (THK). The transducer choice for the CementInspection and Pipe Inspection applications is governed exclusively by THK, as THK determines the fundamentaltransverse mode resonance frequency of the pipe.




In open holes the user is required to enter the well ID, which will usually be the bit size.

C) The Other Inputs Panel

This panel groups several entries that are necessary for the Planner to select the scanning head size and toestimate the 2-way first arrival time of a signal reflected by an outer pipe string, when checked as present.

Max Eccentricity – the user must type the expected maximum eccentricity value in this box, which has a defaultvalue of .15” that should work reasonably well for most cases. The maximum eccentricity influences the minimumand maximum Travel Time estimations, which are used for selecting the scanning head in Recommendationmode. It is strongly recommended never to set the max ECTY value at less than .10”. For Open Hole the usershould in most cases set this value at .25”. As a side note, Eccentricity becomes more critical as the InternalDiameter gets smaller. The Planner does not allow the user to enter ECTY larger than .25” in Recommendationmode but this tolerance is increased to 1.00” in Simulation mode.

End of Transducer Ringing Noise – this value (ETRN) represents the start of the region where the ringing noisehas died out to a level where the signal can be considered “clean”. The ringing noise is generated when thetransducer if fired and depends on the mechanical and acoustic characteristics of a given transducer. This valueinfluences the choice of the scanning head. This value should be in the range from 30µs to 50µs.

In Recommendation mode the Planner chooses the largest possible scanning head among those available thatproduces a minimum Travel Time (minTT) higher than ETRN.As a matter of fact it uses only the Effective HeadRadius in these calculations. In Simulation mode, any calculated TT values below ETRN are displayed red.

Available Heads – in Recommendation mode these check boxes indicate the Planner what type of “special”scanning heads are available for use. Quite logically, the Planner ignores any type of scanning head not check-marked. Notice that the “normal” scanning heads are always considered as available. In Simulation mode thissub-panel changes to a list box displaying all existing (as of March-2006) scanning heads with their differenttransducer positions. Each different transducer placement option inside a scanning head implies in a differentEffective Head Radius (EHR).

Outer Pipe – when logging in a Cased Hole environment, if the logged pipe

string is located inside a 2nd

pipe string the outer pipe may causeinterference on the recorded signals. The planner offers a feature that helpspredict if this kind of interference is possible. Although this feature is based on avalue that is generally unknown (the annulus material’s Slowness) and assumes the the inner pipe is centralizedinside the outer pipe, it is still helpful if one plays with educated guesses.

The “Outer Pipe” feature is invoked by checking the box shown in the picture above. It prompts the user to enter 3values in the 3 edit boxes which should contain, from left to right, the following values:

1. Outer Pipe Diameter (inches)2. Outer Pipe Weight (lbs/ft)3. Annulus Slowness (Delta-T in µs/ft)

A rule of thumb for setting the Annulus Delta-T is: for cement use ~110 µs / ft, for water use ~200 µs / ft, forbrines use ~180 µs/ft and for oil based muds use ~225 µs/ft.

These inputs are used by the Planner to calculate the 2-way travel time of the signal reflected by the outer pipe,which determines the start of the region where these signals start to arrive. This region is represented in the Data

Acquisition Timing Diagram.




5) The Results Panel

The Results panel presents most of the CJP outputs. A field may be displayed with a different title and also beblanked out, depending on whether the Planner is being run in Recommendation or Simulation mode or onwhether the well environment is Open Hole or Cased Hole.

The outputs that are needed by the user for programming the service in INSITE are presented using a differentbackground color – blue/grey – from the other outputs. Apart from the Transducer type and from the ScanningHead configuration 5 other parameters are needed. These are shown at the bottom of this panel. A remark fieldis also presented besides the Transducer and the Head Size display. It is used to display either the transducerslot in a given scanning head or to indicate a problem with the job configuration, as detected by the Planner.

The bottom of the Results panel is used for a special feature dedicated to inform the user about how a givenmotor speed or about how a given line speed can influence the data acquisition. This feature is discussed in detaiin Section 6 of this document.

Recommended / Simulated Head Size – in Recommendation mode this field is used for displaying the Planner’srecommended scanning head. In Simulation mode it displays the scanning head selected by the user.

Recommended / Simulated Transducer – in Recommendation mode this field is used for displaying thePlanner’s recommended transducer. In Simulation mode it displays the transducer selected by the user.

Remark – the remark field on the top right corner is used for informing what scanning head slot is to be used or toindicate a problem related to the input configuration parameters.




Pipe ID / Well Size – pipe Internal Diameter (CH) or Well Size (OH), in inches. Pipe ID is calculated as ID = sqrt(OD^2 – PipeWeight / K ) where K is a constant that depends on the pipe’s material and equals 2.713 for steel.

Pipe Thickness – approximate nominal inner pipe thickness, in inches. It is calculated as THK = (OD – ID) / 2.Notice that pipe Thickness is derived from the pipe OD and the pipe Weight, it does not come from a look-uptable. This value has wide-ranging implications on many of the recommendations done by the Planner when thetool is to be run in WF mode, and in many other calculations whose results are displayed on the Results Panel. Itgoverns the transducer selection, the Sampling Interval and the recorded Waveform Length. The Impedancecalculations are heavily affected by the Thickness measurement.

Pipe Res Freq – fundamental transverse mode resonance frequency (RF) of the pipe, in KHz. It depends on theacoustic slowness property (S) of the pipe material and on the pipe’s thickness. It is calculated as RF = S / (2 *THK). The value of S for steel is assumed .2243 us / inch.

Effective Head Radius – this value represents the effective distance, in inches, between the transducer’ssensitive element and the tool axis. It depends on the size of the scanning head and on the position (internal slot)where the transducer is installed.

Transducer Position – some heads offer more than one position where the transducer can be installed. The

head size and the transducer position set the offset of the transducer from the center of the tool and influencesignal strength and travel time. This position corresponds to the place where the snap ring that holds thetransducer in place is installed and is expressed as an integer number that is zero for single-slot heads and anumber higher than zero that grows with growing distance between the center of the tool and the slot’s location.

Avg Radial Clearance – distance in inches between head OD and pipe ID, when the head is centered in the well,i.e. when eccentricity is zero. It is calculated as ARC = (Well ID – Head ID) / 2

Min TT – minimum 2-way travel time, in μs. It occurs when the transducer is closest to the borehole wall. Thediagram below, where the inner circle represents the scanning head OD and the outer circle represents the holeID, illustrates MinTT, MaxTT and AvgTT conceptually Notice that as eccentricity approaches zero minTT, maxTTconverge to avgTT.

Max TT – maximum 2-way travel time, in μs. It occurs when the transducer is farthest from the borehole wall.

Avg TT – average 2-way travel time, in μs. It’s always the average of maxTT and minTT. It can also beinterpreted as the travel time that results when the head is perfectly centered inside a round hole.

Maximum Ecty – maximum eccentricity, in inches. This value is the same value entered by the user in the MaxECTY edit box. Notice that the difference between the maximum and the minimum Travel Times (maxTT –minTT) increase with increasing Eccentricity.

The relationship between these quantities is better illustrated with a graphic diagram, as presented below.

Centered Scanning Head – the center of the scanninghead coincides with the center of the hole.

Max TT = Min TT = Avg TT

TT 2nd

Reflection – 2-way travel time of the acoustic signal’s 2nd

reflection, in μs. It is calculated asTT_2

nd _Reflection = 2 * avgTT.

The diagram on the left represents the first (thicker line)and the 2

nd (thinner line) transmitted and reflected

signals

Part of the acoustic energy that is reflected back fromthe pipe wall is reflected back by the transducer and hitsthe pipe wall again. The interval between the transducerfiring and the first arrival of the 2

nd reflection is twice the

travel time of the first arrival. This signal may interferewith the recorded signal. Depending on FTT, on thedistance between the transducer and the pipe’s innerwall and on the length of the recorded waveform.

Optm. # Shots / Scan – optimum number of shots / scan. It is calculated as OptSpS = ID / XHR where XHR isthe transducer’s horizontal resolution. As smaller pipes have a smaller perimeter and each transducer has a fixed

horizontal resolution, fewer shots are needed as the size of the pipe decreases and yet full horizontal coveragecan be provided. The Planner (in Recommendation Mode) automatically recommends using the shots/scan optionthat is equal to or right above the calculated optimum value.

Recommended / Simulated #Shots / Scan – optimum number of shots / scan actually acquired by the tool. Thetool data acquisition system offers a limited set of options for this parameter, which are listed in the correspondinglist box in the DACQ Panel.

THK Outer Pipe – thickness, in inches, of the outer pipe, which is always assumed as made of steel. All valuesrelated to the outer pipe are blanked when there no outer pipe is indicated on the Planner or when the wellenvironment is set as Open Hole.

Annulus Size – distance between the inner pipe OD and the outer pipe OD, in μs, assuming these pipes are

concentric.

Annulus TT – 2-way travel time of the signal inside the annular space, in μs. The inner and outer pipes areassumed to be concentric.

TT Outer Pipe – estimated 2-way travel time of the signal reflected by the outer pipe, in μs. This result isinfluenced by avgTT, by the size and the slowness of the annulus material (for cement use ~110 µs / ft, for water use ~200 µs / ft, for brines use ~180 µs/ft and for oil based muds use ~225 µs/ft), by the thickness of the innerpipe and by the inner pipe material’s slowness (57 us / ft for steel). When the annulus space is small the signalreflected by the outer pipe may interfere with the recorded signal. This concern grows with growing recordedwaveform length.

TTouter_pipe = avgTT + 2 * THKinner_pipe * inner_pipeSlowness + 2 * AnnulusSize * AnnulusSlowness

XDCR Horz Resol – transducer horizontal resolution, in inches. This parameter is dependent on the geometricaland on the frequency characteristics of the transducer and is defined as the horizontal dimension of a feature .05”dip - think of it as a .05” deep groove along the longitudinal axis of a 9-5/8” pipe (this can be considered as a flatsurface) - that is clearly identified by the transducer.

Samples / Shot – number of samples in each waveform. This is simply the Waveform Length divided by theSampling Interval. This value together with the number of shots per scan and the number of scans per foot(Vertical Resolution) has a pronounced influence on the maximum log speed as it affects the amount of data that

must be transmitted for each scan.




Recommended / Simulated Vert Resol – recommended or simulated vertical resolution (SVR) in scans / foot.In Rec mode this value is set to a predetermined number, as detailed below:

Application Data Type Recommended SVR (scans / ft)Cement Inspection waveforms 4

Pipe Inspection waveforms 12Imaging time / amplitude 36

The final vertical resolution of log depends ultimately on how many scans got acquired in each foot of welltraversed by the tool. So, this number basically depends on the tool speed, on the scanning motor speed and onthe effective uphole data transmission throughput of the tool.

Recommended / Simulated # Shots / Scan – recommended / simulated number of shots per scan. The CAST-Vtool offers a set of possible values for this parameter. In the CAST-V this is a fixed number (100 for waveforms,200 for TA). When recommended by the Planner this value assures full horizontal coverage of the pipe / borehole

Waveform Length – length, in μs, of the recorded waveform associated with each shot. Notice that thisparameter only makes sense when the tool is working in waveforms mode (WF mode) as in imaging (TA mode)

only the shot’s maximum amplitude and first arrival 2-way travel time are recorded.

Sampling Interval – time interval between consecutive samples, in μs, of the transmitted waveforms. The toolalways samples the signals at 5 MHz, which corresponds to a sampling interval of .2μs. The signals are thendown-sampled to the first 5 multiples of .2μs. Notice that this parameter only makes sense when the tool isworking in waveforms mode (WF mode).

Recmd. Inhibit Setting – to reduce the possibility of picking up a wrong travel time it is recommended to “inhibit”the data acquisition until a few microseconds before the minimum travel time estimated by the Planner. Thisconcept is valid for ultrasonic data acquisition in general, so it applies to any one of the CAST versions. In theCAST-V the data acquisition process starts when the transmitter is fired and the echoed acoustic signal issampled at 5MHz, which corresponds to a sampling interval of .2µs. When we set the Inhibit Time at, say, 250 weare telling the tool not to work with the first 250 samples, i.e. to ignore the first 50 µs of the acquired waveform.The logic behind the Planner’s Inhibit Time recommendation is explained in section F of this chapter, whichdescribes the Data Acquisition Timing Diagram.

You are recommended – with the CAST-V this can always be during logging – to look at the complete waveformto check that the Inhibit Time Setting is properly set. With the CAST-V this can only be done by setting the tool in“WAVE” mode, which is not a valid possible to do while logging. In WAVE mode the CAST real time screendisplays the complete waveform, with time in the horizontal scale. The CLASS DO CAST-V command allows youto set the inhibit time in µs (not in nbr of samples, as for the CAST-V). You should set up the Inhibit time at wherethe signal is clean and always leave at least a 6 µs slack before the first arrival time to allow for possible earlierarrivals.

The other outputs, illustrated on the bottom of the Results panel (see next figure) are explained in detail in theData Acquisition section of this manual.




6) The Data Acquisition Panel

General – the Data Acquisition Panel helps the user select a suitable acquisition scheme when he runs thePlanner in provides in a Simulation mode. It is basically passive during Recommendation mode, except for

selecting the CAST (V or F) bandwidth, which is expressed in words / DITS frame. It provides in a single snapshota complete view of the most important parameters governing the data acquisition

The figures shown below are examples of the DACQ panel

Notice that the DACQ panel configuration changes in accordance with the CAST tool type. In this sense theDACQ panel will only present choices that actually exist for a given tool type. For instance, for the CAST-V the

number of shots per scan is dependent only on the service type (TA or WF) and therefore no selection listbox forthis parameter is provided. Instead, an uneditable label is used in this case to display the value of this parameter.

For the CAST-V, the telemetry choice is in practice dictated by the choice of the telemetry instrument. Thereforethe display is changed to show the different telemetry instruments. For the CAST-V three choices exist,independently of the service type or of the well environment.

Note: the Planner always assumes that a D4TG is used for running the CAST-V.

The Planner only changes the telemetry scheme (words / frame) for the CAST automatically when the userchanges the tool type. After that the user can change the CAST telemetry choice without the Planner interfering,using the radio buttons on the bottom of the panel.

Tools in Combination – a set of checkboxes for 5 different DITS tools informs the Planner about if they are to becombined with the CAST. The Tool String field will display in red font if the output capacity of the telemetryinstrument is exceeded.

Listboxes – four listboxes are available for programming the recorded Waveform Length, Sampling Interval,Number of Shots / Scan and Vertical Resolution. These choices are only allowed when they actually apply, whichis the case with the CAST-V, and are not active in Recommendation mode. They increase with the down key –think about them as depth, as you go down the depth increases. A listbox choice is effectively activated only whenthe listbox is left-clicked.




The DACQ panel outputs are combined with the time results from the Results panel to generate the Data Acquisition Timing Diagram. The effects of the user choices are immediately displayed on all parameters that areaffected by his choice. These parameters are described next.

Max Logging Speed (MLS) – this is the maximum line speed (log speed) allowed by the telemetry outputcapacity of the downhole tool string that will transmit the required number of scans per foot for the current dataacquisition configuration, as chosen by the user (Simulation Mode) or recommended by the Planner(Recommendation Mode). In other words, if you run the tool above this speed you will get less information thanwhat is shown in the Vertical Resolution (Scans / Ft) display.

Min Motor Rev / Sec @ MLS (MMS) – this is the minimum motor speed at the maximum logging speed allowedby the telemetry (the MLS parameter described above), in revolutions per seconds. You should turn the motorfaster than this value so as to fully benefit from the telemetry throughput. If you turn it slower bandwidth will bewasted as the transducer produces data at a slower pace than the downhole telemetry system is able to send.

By turning the motor slower than this value and running the tool at MLS you will obtain less scans per foot thanspecified in the Planner, in whichever mode. As your MLS increases, i.e. as the telemetry system becomes ableto transmit more data the minimum scanning speed of the motor also increases. Therefore to get the specified (or

superior) vertical resolution, if you can not rotate the motor at this minimum speed, you’ll have to limit the linespeed. This limit is calculated by the Planner using the resources shown below, located on the bottom of theResults Panel.

So let’s suppose that the minimum motor rev is8 rps for achieving a certain vertical resolutionat MLS (23 ft / min) but you can only turn thescanning head at 5 rps. Using the “Set currentspeed for…” panel you click on the Motor radio button to inform the Planner that you want

to set the current motor speed to, say, 5 rps. The Planner displays, in this particular case that the maximumlogging speed is 15 fpm. So you can not run the tool at full speed (as dictated by the telemetry) to produce animage of a given vertical resolution because you can not scan fast enough. This situation happens most

frequently when using a large scanning head and is more likely to happen with a CAST-V because it requires 5revolutions per scan in waveform (WF) mode. In WF mode the CAST-V requires 1 revolution / scan. Both toolsrequire 1 rev / scan in TA (Imaging) mode.

The reverse situation may also occur – if theline speed is limited below the MLS value, forwhatever reason, the minimum speed requiredfor the scanning head decreases. In this case,check the Line / Winch radio button to set the

current line speed. The Planner displays the minimum motor speed required for the input line speed.

Absolute Maximum Motor Speed (AMMS) – if the scanning head is turned too fast, at a certain point thetransducer may be fired before the data acquisition system has finished processing or even acquiring the signalfrom the previous shot. This situation must be avoided – it will cause loss of information at the best and a dataacquisition system jam that may require tool reinitialization at the worst. In a nutshell, do not turn the motor fasterthan the absolute maximum motor speed. Try to keep the motor speed 1 rev / second or more above theminimum motor speed @ MLS. The AMMS will usually be much higher than the MMS, in the great majority of thesituations normally found in field jobs there will be a huge gap between these 2 values.




Bandwidth in Words / Frame – maximum number of words / DITS frame allowed by the DITS telemetryinstrument. The number of DITS words used by the CAST tool and used by the whole tool string – CAST plus thechecked DITS tools – are displayed below this field.

At the bottom of the DACQ panel are the radio boxes which represent the bandwidth taken by the CAST. Asalready explained, this bandwidth (BW) is in the great majority of the cases dictated by the telemetry instrumentfor the CAST-V but can be directly specified for a CAST-V. For waveform mode you are recommended to choosethe highest possible BW choice allowed by your tool string. For time / amplitude mode choose 306 words / frame.

A higher CAST BW choice would result in wasted transmission bandwidth, as the MMS (min motor speed) wouldbe too high, thus nullifying the benefit of the adopting a faster telemetry.

For the CAST-V three DITS telemetry formats are available. The slowest format, named “Slow Tel”, reserves 306words per frame for the CAST and is mainly intended for use in TA (Time & Amplitude - Imaging) mode. Thisformat maintains compatibility with possible tool combinations that were in use before using a CAST-V. In factboth tools are very similar when it comes to running them in TA mode, and the gain in speed actually only occurswhen the CAST-V is using less than 200 words / shot, since in this case it will be transmitting less data for everyscan. This format must be used when the CAST-V is used with other data-intensive tools such as the WSTT andEMI, under both TA and WF modes.

Two new telemetry formats were created for use with the CAST-V and these were intended for use in WF(Waveforms) mode:

1. The “Medium Tel” format uses 476 words / frame and keeps the CAST-V compatible for use incombination with an M305-based CBL tool.

2. The “Fast Tel” format uses 612 words / frame. It is intended for use mainly when the CAST-V is runalone. It still allows this tool to be combined with low data rate tools such as an SDDT, an NGRT, Caliper,etc. It should be the preferred format for cement and pipe inspection services where a CBL tool is notrequired since it permits logging at much higher speed than any other format thus bringing considerablerig time savings.




7) The Results Validation Bar

This bar, located right above the Remarks panel, may display in 3 colors – blue, red and brown.

A BLUE bar indicates no problems with the job setup.

A BROWN bar indicates that there is a problem that does not prevent you from using the current setup or that thesetup can be optimized. In most cases it points to a problem with the telemetry choice.

A RED bar indicates a severe problem that almost certainly requires that one or more parameters be changed inorder to properly program a CAST job. When the validation bar displays RED expect to see one or moremessages and probably also some results displayed in red font on the Results panel. The remarks and the red-colored results text boxes in the Results panel will in most cases provide a good hint about the nature of theproblem that is adversely affecting the Planner’s outputs.

A few examples of the results validation bar showing its different colors are displayed in the next page. In the lastcase (BROWN bar) a lower telemetry mode is being recommended. However the job could be done using thecurrent configuration by reducing the motor speed. The bottom remark is indicating ineffective use of the available

telemetry bandwidth.




8) The Data Acquisition Timing Diagram

The Data Acquisition Timing Diagram is presented as a line graph at the bottom of the Planner. It aims to providea snapshot of the critical timing parameters that are involved in the CAST data acquisition process, as anticipatedby the Planner using the information supplied by the user. It constitutes a good diagnosis tool and can be usedalso when running in the Planner in Simulation Mode. The diagram is not displayed when the results validationbar goes RED.

The figure above shows an example of the Timing Diagram. The basic reference is (time Zero) is the instant whenthe transducer is fired. Additionally to the transducer firing time the Timing Diagram prints a mark at each one ofthese timing events:

1. Mute Region – follows immediately after the firing. This region, equivalent to 28µs is the minimum inhibit time(corresponding to 140 samples, 28 X 5 = 140) that the user can program.

2. End of Ring Noise – time at which all transducer ringing noise is supposed to have died out. This value isprogrammable and may vary between individual transducers and is set at 36µs by default.

3. Inhibit Time (IT) – this parameter applies only to the CAST-V and is also programmable. Inhibit Time,

marked with a vertical orange line, is the time at which the data acquisition actually considers as the start ofvalid data. Although the acquisition process is initiated at the time the transducer is fired, all data acquired upto IT is ignored for recording purposes. The Planner uses the following logic for the IT recommendation:

a. In Cased Hole it subtracts 6µs the minimum Travel Time (minTT), and converts the result to the nbr oacquisition sampling intervals equivalent to that time. Each interval is .2 µs long. It then rounds downthat number to a multiple of 10. In practice this is equivalent to say that IT is the even nbr of µsimmediately below minTT-6 .

b. In Open Hole it makes the same calculation as above and also calculates what 2-way Travel timeresults if the well ID is .5” below the bit size – this calculation involves the Fluid Travel Time. Thelower of these 2 calculations is then converted to the number of acquisition sampling intervals androunded down to a multiple of 10.

4. minTT – minimum 2-way first arrival Travel Time.

5. avgTT – average 2-way first arrival Travel Time.

6. maxTT – maximum 2-way first arrival Travel Time.

For each one of items 4, 5 and 6 a line of size equivalent to the length of the recorded waveform is drawnshowing the time region over which the shots get recorded. These lines are not displayed in Imaging (TA) mode.




At the bottom of the diagram, a black line illustrates the time range covered by the recorded data, as expected bythe Planner.7. 2

nd Reflection Region – region where signals originating from a 2

nd reflection (signal bouncing between xdcr

pipe) of the acoustic wave arrive at the transducer. This line is colored RED when a large portion of the 2nd

reflection region overlaps with the recorded waveform. Notice that overlap region is calculated based on thevalue of avgTT – there will be more overlap (signal interference) when the transducer is nearer to the pipe /borehole wall and less overlap (signal interference) as the distance between the transducer and the pipe /borehole wall increases. In more quantitative terms, for each shot an overlap will exist whenever the recordedwaveform is longer than that shot’s 2-way Travel Time.

8. Arrivals from 2nd

Pipe – region where signals from the outer pipe (if the outer pipe box is checked) arrive atthe transducer. It is colored RED only when the Planner sees considerable overlap with the incoming signals.There are several justifications for this approach. The main one is that these signals are much smaller thanthe signals from the inner pipe.

9) The REMARKS Panel

The REMARKS panel is comprised of 4 text fields that are used to display messages. The messages may beindicative of errors, warnings or just informative. As already mentioned, they are ranked in terms of importancewhen the Planner is run in Recommendation mode, so messages that are more critical appear on top of onesconsidered less critical.

An example (resulting from somewhat unrealistic inputs) of a Remarks Panel display is provided below forillustration purposes.

Perhaps the main objective of these remarks is didactic, i.e. to guide the user with respect to the consequences ofhis inputs, especially when they bring results that the Planner interprets as being problematic.

These remarks are saved in all file formats supported by the Planner.




9) The Top MENU Bar

The main components of the CJP top menu bar, shown above, are:

1. Fileo Exit – closes the CJP program.
