Six independent caliper measurements describe

Six Arm Dipmeter (SED) borehole washout and breakout in precise detail

The Six Arm Dipmeter is an electric logging tool that provides

data used to compute formation dip. It provides six formation
micro-resistivity measurements, tool orientation data, and six
caliper curves. The six micro-resistivity measurements are taken
at 60 increments around the borehole. This data is then
correlated to identify bedding and other features in the formation.

SED Applications
SED can be used in the following applications:
Evaluate magnitude and direction of structural and
stratigraphic dip events for offset well placement, reservoir
modelling, and reservoir management decisions
Improved evaluation of thinly laminated sand/shale sequences
Fracture detection
Directional data to provide TVD, drift surveys, and bottom
hole location
Caliper data as input to 2-D and 3-D borehole profile plots as
well as integrated borehole volumetrics

SED Features Standard processed SED log showing the raw resistivity data and
results of dip analysis.
SED contains the following features:
High resolution micro-resistivity measurements sampled at
0.1- in.
Independent arm linkage and swiveled pads provide optimum
pad contact with a minimum of pad force
Tri-axial accelerometers and three magnetometers are
employed to compute borehole drift, azimuth, and corrections
for tool rotation and irregular motion
Available oil-base mud pads for acquiring dip logs in
nonconductive drilling fluids

SED Benefits
SED offers the following benefits:
Reduced pad forces permitted by arm-pad architecture
optimizes data quality in washed out, rugose, or sticky
boreholes
The data redundancy afforded by six micro-resistivity
measurements results in higher confidence correlations of
bedding surfaces and thus more accurate and reliable
