Abstract

See full text

A method of use of a logging tool (1) including a directional emission device (4) and/or reception device (R1, R2) and the achieving of several series of loggings while modifying between each series the orientation of the directivity diagrams. At least one first series is performed by orienting the directivity diagrams towards the top or the wall of a reservoir zone crossed through by the well bore, for example. At least one second series is carried out by orienting the directivity diagrams towards the opposite direction, for example. The recordings are then combined, and the reflected arrivals, which are generally concealed by casing waves, can be easily seen. This facilitates the locating of further discontinuities. The directional selectivity of the emissions and/or the receptions is, for example, obtained by positioning a cover fitted with a window (5) around emitting and/or receiving transducers. The method can be applied to loggings in horizontal well bores, for example.
