Fig. 3. The first integrated triple combo, 4-3/4-in. MWD / LWD system for holes as small as 5-3/4 in. is available as the VISION475. Resistivity measurements give five compensated phase shift and five compensated attenuation curves. Azimuthal gamma ray, density and photoelectric effect (Pe ƒ) measurements can be used to generate lithology and porosity borehole wall images to assist geosteering. Neutron porosity is also measured. Nuclear sources and stored data are retrievable should the tool become stuck.
