Definitions

  • FIG. 5 Shown therein is a cutaway portion of the earth's subsurface 501 that includes tar sand deposits depicted by 503. Horizontal wells 521a, 521 b, 521c, 521 d... are drilled in the tar sand deposits. These are termed production wells. Under normal conditions, the tar sands are very viscous and will not flow into the production wells 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d... In order to facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons into the production wells, secondary (or additional) boreholes 531a, 531 b, 531c, 531d..
  • At least three transmitters may be used to transmit signals into the earth formation and at least one sensor may be used to receive signals responsive such transmitted signals. The received signals are then processed to estimate the borehole path. In other aspects, only a single borehole may be drilled using the above described system and methods.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de forage de sondages. Le procédé, selon un mode de réalisation, peut comprendre le forage d'un sondage, la transmission d'un signal dans la formation terrestre, la réception de signaux au niveau d'au moins trois capteurs espacés réactifs aux signaux transmis et l'estimation d'un chemin du sondage au moyen des signaux reçus par le ou les trois capteurs. Dans un autre aspect, le procédé peut inclure le forage d'un sondage, la transmission de signaux dans la formation terrestre à partir d'au moins trois émetteurs espacés, la réception de signaux au niveau d'au moins un capteur réactif aux signaux transmis et l'estimation d'un chemin du sondage au moyen des signaux reçus par le ou les capteurs.
