DEFINITION

Classification: 73/152.57

Casing or cementing:

(under subclass 152.54) Subject matter including (a) a pipe which lines all of or a portion of a wall of the borehole or (b) a cementing of a lining in the borehole and wherein the determination of the characteristic of the borehole is made by measuring a property of the lining or the cementing.

152.15, for a formation logging apparatus or process for determining a characteristic of the borehole by measuring the effect of cement within a borehole on vibration combined with measuring radioactivity.

152.16, for well logging including plural types of tests including making a determination of a characteristic of a casing by measuring an effect of the casing on vibration and not combined with radioactivity measuring.
