ABSTRACT:
A method of analyzing an electrically conductive member, such as a well casing, where one end of the member is more accessible, and a second end of the member is less accessible. A first electrical pulse is transmitted along the well casing toward a lower end of the well casing, where the first pulse is reflected as a reflected pulse to travel back up the casing. A second pulse is transmitted down through the well casing to intersect with the reflected pulse, after which the reflected pulse is detected and analyzed to determine conditions along the well casing. The timing of the pulses its synchronized so that the point of intersection is stepped along the well casing.
