APS's WPR™ Wave Propagation Resistivity sub is a spatially compensated, dual-frequency (400 kHz and 2 MHz), dual spacing device designed for wireline-equivalent logging while drilling (LWD) and measurements after drilling (MAD) services in all well types.
WPR’s symmetrical design, with centrally located receive antennas, provides real-time compensation, eliminates invasion effects due to measurement delays, and improves accuracy by canceling variations in receiver channels.
WPR operates in all mud types including oil-based and salt-saturated and provides real-time resistivity with flexible transmission formats. High-resolution data is stored in downhole memory which can be retrieved and processed during trips.
APS provides a complete set of software-enabled borehole corrections and applications with WPR, including a dipping bed model for geosteering.
