Abstract
The present invention relates to analysis tools for analyzing the ground , from a surface thereof, by means of a sonde having a given analysis lobe and a resolution time T. The tool of the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that it comprises a drive head driven to move in continuous translation at a speed V relative to the surface and along a direction parallel to the surface , a skid , means for associating the sonde and the skid so that the sonde can analyze the rocks contained in its lobe , and means for coupling together the drive head and the skid so that the two elements can be displaced relative to each other along the direction over a distance D. The tool of the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in analyzing oil-bearing rocks surrounding the wall of an oil well , in order to determine both the distribution of the porosity of the rocks, and their associated permeability.
