ABSTRACT:
A method for correcting data measured by a well logging instrument for effects of cable yo-yo. The data are first preprocessed to reduce magnitude of spatial frequency components in the data occurring within a bandwidth of axial acceleration of the logging instrument which corresponds to the cable. Then eigenvalue, of a matrix are shifted, over depth intervals where the smallest absolute value one of the eigenvalues changes sign, by an amount such that the smallest absolute value eigenvalue does not change sign. The matrix forms part of a system of linear equations by which the measurements made by the instrument are converted to values of a property of interest of earth formations. Artifacts which may remain in the data after the step of preprocessing are substantially removed by the eigenvalue shifting. In one embodiment, the step of preprocessing includes low pass filtering using a cutoff at the axial resolution limit of a sensor on the instrument. In another embodiment, preprocessing includes phase shifting the response of one sensor to another sensor on the instrument within the spatial frequency bandwidth of the cable yo-yo. Still another embodiment of preprocessing include phase synthesis of the response of one sensor to that of another sensor within the spatial frequency bandwidth of the cable yo-yo.
