Logging tools are generally designed for operation under limited borehole conditions. A minimum hole size is the consequence of maximum tool diameter and pad curvatures, while maximum hole size is established by signal strength and caliper arm lengths. Mud types can affect signal transmission. Hole position affects signal strength and mud or borehole effects. Table 1 provides general operating limitations for the standard logging tools. Service companies have specially designed or modified tools that may allow extension of operation ranges. Consult your local representative if hole conditions are not as recommended in Table 1.

Computerized surface systems and cable communication systems have made tool combinations virtually unlimited. However, the combining of different tools into a single logging run may be limited by more than the physical ability to hook them together. Some devices are designed to operate excentered, some centered, and some stood off from the borehole wall. Tool positioning is important in ensuring valid environmental corrections. Table 1 includes optimum hole positions for each device. Caution should be used in combining a tool designed to be excentered, such as the neutron, with one designed to be centered, such as the sonic. The environmental effects upon the measurement may be uncorrectable. Also note that the maximum and minimum hole sizes are general recommendations only. Some logging devices are modified for larger and smaller holes. This should be discussed with your local logging company representative.
