A device and method used to correct beamforming of an acoustic phased array in cases of eccentricity of the acoustic device in a tubular. A processor calculates the eccentricity from multiple scan lines and create a geometric model of a well or pipe relative to the device. The processor may correct each scan line's focus and/or angle of incidence at a surface of the well or pipe based on the observed eccentricity.

A subsurface imaging technique using distributed sensors is introduced. Instead of monostatic transceivers employed in conventional ground penetrating radars, the proposed technique utilizes bi-static transceivers to sample the reflected signals from the ground at different positions and create a large two-dimensional aperture for high resolution subsurface imaging. The coherent processing of the samples in the proposed imaging method eliminates the need for large antenna arrays for obtaining high lateral resolution images. In addition, it eliminates the need for sampling on a grid which is a time-consuming task in imaging using ground penetration radar. Imaging results show that the method can provide high-resolution images of the buried targets using only samples of the reflected signals on a circle with the center at the transmitter location.

A disclosed borehole curvature logging system includes: a drill string having a bottomhole assembly (BHA) with sensors providing actual deformation and bending moment measurements as a function of BHA position at spaced-apart intervals on the BHA; a processing system that retrieves said actual measurements and responsively generates a log of borehole curvature; and a user interface that displays the borehole curvature log. The processing system implements a method that generates the log by: providing an estimated borehole trajectory; deriving predicted deformation and bending moment measurements based on the estimated borehole trajectory; determining an error between the predicted measurements and the actual measurements; updating the estimated borehole trajectory to reduce the error; repeating said deriving, determining, and updating to refine the estimated borehole trajectory; and converting the estimated borehole trajectory into a borehole curvature log.

A method for surveying, may include receiving, by a processor, first survey data from a first source, the first source comprising a first signal generated by a subsurface earth formation in response to a passive-source electromagnetic signal, wherein the electromagnetic signal is generated by an electroseismic or seismoelectric conversion of the passive-source electromagnetic signal. The method may also include receiving, by the processor, second survey data from a second source and processing the first survey data and the second survey data to determine one or more properties of a subsurface earth formation.
