ResiStar Tool Components
Sensor operation Principle
Sensor Sampling and Data Acquisition
100

This houses the programmable logic control (PLC) Board and provides power to other PCB boards.

What is the Electronics Insert Collar?

100

Two measurements are made between two receivers, at each frequency.

What is Phase Shift and Attenuation (Amplitude) Resistivity?

100

The Resistar tool will sample on this antenna at every cycle.

What is the receiver antenna?

200

This measures the resistivity mud and uses the information for environmental corrections.

What is the mud button?

200

This type of resistivity is more sensitive to dialectric effects.

What is Attenuation resistivity?

200

The Resistar tool will perform frequency firing on this antenna at every cycle

What is the transmitter antenna?

300

This antenna receives the electromagnetic waves that travel through the formation. There are two of these in the ResiStar tool.

What is the receiver antenna?

300

This is the total number of compensated measurements at each measurement cycle.

What is 12?

300

Data will be transferred to this board through the PLC Board in the Basestar tool.

What is the Network Assisted Storage (NAS)?

400

This antenna transmits the electromagnetic waves in the formation. There are a total of 6 antennas.

What is the transmitter antenna?

400

These are the compensated transmitter-receiver spacings.

What is 16, 32, and 48 inches?

400

The tool will compensate the measurement using this of data and compute the resistivity measurement

What is Airhang data?

500

This houses the Junction Box, the transmitter and receiver antenna.

What is the Antenna Collar?

500

These are the two frequencies the ResiStar tool operates with.

What is 2 MHz and 500 kHz?

500

The Resistar tool interacts with this tool to communicate resistivity and raw data.

What is Basestar tool?
