摘要
Systems and methods for estimating standoff and/or caliper in a wellbore for oil-based mud drilling are provided. The systems include a sensor having a primary electrode and at least two secondary electrodes, and an electronics subsystem having a controller and a processor for driving the system and correlating current measurements with standoff and/or caliper. The electrodes are positioned relative to one another such that there is a distinct flow of current between the primary electrode and each secondary electrode. In operation, a single excitation frequency is applied to the primary electrode and a simultaneous measurement of current flowing between the primary electrode and each secondary electrode is obtained. Standoff is estimated from the measurements. The estimations can be independent of formation properties when an appropriate excitation frequency is used.
