CAST-XRT™ Cement Evaluation Tool

ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY FOR CEMENT AND
CASING ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW
The Circumferential Acoustic Scanning Tool-Extended-Range Total (CAST-XRT™)
Cement Evaluation Tool represents the latest development in well integrity
diagnostics in harsh well environments. This technology is designed to evaluate
cement and pipe integrity in challenging environments, with the capability to
evaluate a range of casing thicknesses in light to very heavy muds.
The CAST-XRT tool is designed to operate in most drilling fluid systems (Brine,
WBM, OBM, SOBM) with densities up to 18 lb/gal. The tool’s total range of
operation includes the ability to evaluate cement and pipe integrity in casings
with wall thicknesses from .35 in. up to 1.2 in. in the aforementioned extreme
drilling fluid conditions.
Several acoustic-related innovations have been incorporated into the new
CAST-XRT tool, including a high-sensitivity/low-noise next-generation acoustic
transducer, programmable tuned pulses, and high-powered ultrasonic pulses at
various pipe resonant frequencies. The new transducer design helps ensure a
substantial reduction in mud and casing-related wave attenuation effects.
To increase operational efficiency, the CAST-XRT tool can simultaneously evaluate
cement and casing conditions with fully programmable data acquisition, helping
enable optimized logging speeds for maximum coverage.

BENEFITS FEATURES
» Identifies top-of-cement and mud-induced channels behind casing with » Multiple scanner-head sizes enable
360° high-resolution imaging operation from 45⁄8-in. to 20-in. internal
» Simultaneously determines drilling-related casing wear and cement bond diameter (ID), allowing for well integrity
in a single pass without any changes in wellbore fluid diagnostics in multiple casing sizes,
including drilling risers
» Can eliminate log uncertainty and rig standby costs with a logging solution
less sensitive to mud or casing-related influences » Mud-cell chamber acquires real-time
continuous traveltime (FTT) data, helping
» Combinable with Pad Bond Tool (PBT) and Borehole Sonic Array Tool (BSAT™) ensure measurement accuracy, even in
services for a single-pass and multiple measurement cement evaluation high-density OBMs/SOBMs
» Can accurately evaluate foam, lightweight, and other complex cement slurries » LOGIQ® telemetry enables multiple
using the Halliburton Advanced Cement Evaluation (ACE™) processing service openhole logging tool combinability
options to customize logging operations
and help increase logging efficiency
» Fully programmable azimuthal and vertical
data acquisition rates help ensure every
logging operation is customized to the well
conditions, optimizing logging speed and
maximizing casing well coverage
