Patent ID: 10612333

Abstract:
A logging tool assembly comprises an elongate sensor assembly, a plurality of sensor transportation apparatuses for transporting the elongate sensor assembly through a wellbore, and an orientation structure. The sensor transportation apparatuses are spaced apart along the elongate sensor assembly. Each sensor transportation apparatus comprises an engagement structure to connect the sensor transportation apparatus to the elongate sensor assembly and prevent relative rotation between the sensor transportation apparatus and the elongate sensor assembly, and one or more pairs of wheels arranged to rotate on an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate sensor assembly. The axes of rotation of the pairs of wheels of said transportation apparatuses are parallel. The orientation structure is connected to the elongate sensor assembly to prevent relative rotation between the orientation structure and the elongate sensor assembly. The orientation structure comprises at least one radially extending orientation projection. In a transverse outline of the logging tool assembly a said orientation projection extends between the pair of wheels so that the shortest distance between a centre of gravity of the elongate sensor assembly and the wellbore wall is when the pair of wheels of the transportation apparatus is in contact with the wellbore wall.
