    摘要: In a gamma ray well logging instrument, a neutron generator is pulsed at a predetermined rate. Each neutron burst produces gamma radiation resulting from inelastic scattering and neutron capture. The detected gamma radiations are detected by a detector system within the logging instrument. The detected pulses are transmitted to the surface electronics where pulses occurring in the inelastic interval are directed to one section of a multi-channel analyzer and pulses from the capture interval are directed to another section of the analyzer. The use of address decoders and ratio circuits enables an electrical signal to be obtained which represents the ratio of the total capture gamma ray counts within an energy range to the total inelastic gamma ray counts within the same energy range. This electrical signal is representative of the porosity of the subsurface formations being irradiated by neutrons.

    摘要: Estimating cement voids in between a casing and a borehole wall of a borehole penetrating the earth formation includes forming with a computing device an actual ratio of radiation induced by a neutron source and measured by a first detector and a second detector when the tool is at two or more different locations in the borehole. A relationship between the actual ratio and the porosity at each of the two or more different locations is used and compared to two different cases of estimates of the ratio. Based on the comparison, an estimate of the cement voids at the two or more locations.

    摘要: Hydraulic fracturing, acidizing and polymer injection using coiled tubing are commonly used techniques in wellbore completion. A pulsed neutron tool may be conveyed at the bottom of the coiled tubing to monitor the effectiveness of these operations by measuring the flow velocity of the borehole fluid of the annulus between the pulsed neutron tool and the borehole wall. Gamma rays resulting from Oxygen activation and/or Σ measurements are used for measuring the flow velocity.

    摘要: A method for determining orientation of an instrument with respect to earth's gravity. The method includes measuring components of earth's gravity along mutually orthogonal axes. One of the axes is substantially parallel to an axis of the instrument. Tilt of the instrument along two orthogonal axes is measured. One of the tilt axes is substantially parallel to the instrument axis. The instrument is rotated about its axis, and biases of the sensors used to measure the components of earth's gravity perpendicular to the instrument axis are calculated by averaging measurements made by these sensors during rotation. The ratio of gains of these sensors is determined from the range of amplitudes of the output of these sensors during rotation. A roll angle is determined from the bias corrected measurements of components of the earth's gravity perpendicular to the axis. The tilt measurement with respect to the two orthogonal axes is then calibrated by using the calculated roll angle. Gain and offset calibration of all the sensors used to measure the components of the earth's gravity is performed using the calibrated tilt measurements and the orientation is calculated from the gravity measurements after correction for gain and offset of the sensors.
