Abstract

A system and method map a borehole using LIDAR. The system comprises a tool and a mapping sub-system. The tool includes an intermediate LIDAR sub-system and a distal LIDAR sub-system. The intermediate LIDAR sub-system has an intermediate emitter and an intermediate receiver. The intermediate emitter emits light and the intermediate receiver receives reflected light from the intermediate object. The distal LIDAR sub-system has a distal emitter and a distal receiver. The distal emitter emits light, and the distal receiver receives reflected light from the distal object. The mapping sub-system determines a position of the tool, determines an inner surface of the borehole, and generates and outputs a map of the borehole from the position and the inner surface. A method comprises steps performed during operation of the system.
