A Novel Single-Borehole Radar for Well Logging

Abstract

An impulse-based single-borehole radar prototype for well logging is presented. An armored multi-conductor well logging cable is used to connect subsurface sonde and surface equipment in the prototype which is well compatible with the other well logging instruments. The performance experiments of the prototype have been conducted in a test field. The results show that the prototype system is capable of detecting the target which is 8 meters away from the borehole.
