Abstract

Electromagnetic logging tools are optimized using synthetic logs for the purpose of pre-job planning and accuracy/resolution estimation. One, two and three-dimensional forward modeling are used to generate accurate inspection tool responses. A radial one-dimensional (R1D) electromagnetic forward model is also used to compute an approximate log. By constructing non-linear mapping functions between the R1D model-based log and the 2D model-based log, and mapping the R1D synthetic log using the non-linear mapping functions, a quasi 2D log is computed. The quasi 2D log is processed using model-based inversion, thereby providing estimates of pipe parameters. By analyzing the estimates of pipe parameters, tool performance metrics are obtained and analyze to determine the performance of the tool. The tool parameters are adjusted in order to optimize the performance metrics.
