When processing is finished the following screen is displayed:
Automatic Fluid Level Analysis
The software scans the acoustic record to identify all the signals that are similar to echoes from the liquid level
and displays a vertical dashed line labeled “LL” on the signal that has the greatest probability of corresponding to
the liquid level.
The program then builds a low pass filter designed to enhance the echoes from the tubing collars and attempts
to count as many tubing joints as possible before the signal attenuates to a level similar to the background noise
level. The point in time where the collar count stops is indicated on the acoustic trace by the vertical dashed line
labeled “C”. This filtered shot data is displayed in the Liquid Marker window as a green shot trace. The
Unfiltered/Raw shot trace is displayed as the brighter yellow.
The user should verify that the software has correctly identified the echo from the liquid level and that the collar
count marker is located near the liquid level echo for maximum accuracy.
If the user determines that the automatic analysis is not accurate, the user has the option of manually adjusting
the marker identifying the liquid level or modifying the collar count by pressing the corresponding “
Adjust
”
buttons. When the user is satisfied that the software has correctly identified the liquid level echo and generated
an accurate collar count then the analysis can be saved by pressing the button below the
Continue
label and the
screen will display the
Data Set Disposition
screen.
