Abstract: Embodiments of an invention disclosed herein relate to methods for performing formation evaluation of a formation or formation's surrounding to identify and characterize the abundance and morphology of non-ionic conductor grains, “c-grains”, within the formations that are evaluated by formation evaluation (FE) tools. The methods and related systems as disclosed herein are directed to correcting any existing FE logs that can be adversely affected by the presence of c-grains in the detection volume of FE tools, and/or obtaining new FE information that is unavailable by the application of existing FE methods.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for examining a material are provided. One example method generally includes disposing the material in a dielectric contrast analysis structure, wherein the dielectric contrast analysis structure comprises a bulk dielectric substance and a plurality of receptacles in the bulk dielectric substance, wherein the material is disposed in one or more of the plurality of receptacles; exposing the dielectric contrast analysis structure to incident electromagnetic radiation; detecting resultant radiation from the exposed dielectric contrast analysis structure; and analyzing the detected resultant radiation to estimate at least one of a phase fraction and a phase distribution in the material. One example system generally includes an electromagnetic radiation source; a dielectric contrast analysis structure comprising a bulk dielectric substance and a plurality of receptacles in the bulk dielectric substance for receiving the material; and an electromagnetic radiation detector, wherein the analysis structure is between the radiation source and the detector.

Abstract: Provided is a method of utilizing a nondestructive evaluation method to inspect/screen steel components (like plates), steel metal pipes, and seam welds and girth welds of the pipes to identify material phases and assess material qualities. The method includes: providing a DC magnetic field from a magnet to a steel plate, pipe, or weld composed of at least one hysteretic ferromagnetic material followed by scanning the plate, pipe, or weld and recording magnetic responses from two or more suitable sensors disposed at locations with different magnetic field strengths in the regions of interest configured to receive magnetic responses; and correlating all the said received magnetic responses to one or more material qualities and/or material phases of the plate, pipe, or weld. The one or more material qualities includes regions of higher hardness, regions of metal loss, regions of surface cracks, amount of undesirable phases, and combinations thereof.
