    摘要: Provided are containers that are useful for the collection and analysis of materials, which typically comprise solid material, such as geologic material samples, such as drill cuttings, core samples, drilling muds, or similar materials. Such containers comprise a barrier component that forms an inner chamber for isolating a material and a compressible or collapsible section that is adapted to be compressed by application of a force, but without rupture or other disruption that would result in the loss of volatile compounds contained in the container (such as volatile compounds released from the material). The containers can be sealed by a seal component, which can be punctured by a component (e.g., a needle) permitting the flow of gaseous material from the interior of the container when a force is applied through the puncturing component. In aspects, the containers comprise a sample material, such as a drill cutting or other geologic material.

    摘要: Methods for determining the locations/heights of fractures in a subterranean formation use a post-fracture log obtained with a compensated neutron or pulsed neutron logging tool. Utilizing predetermined relationships between tool count rates and associated near/far count rate ratios, the methods detect the presence of proppant containing high thermal neutron capture cross-section material, substantially eliminating proppant determination uncertainty resulting from changes in formation hydrogen index. In an interval of a well with given borehole and formation conditions, and not containing proppant, a relationship is developed between detector count rate and near/far ratio. This relationship is used to compute count rate from the ratio in intervals of the well possibly containing proppant and which have similar formation and borehole conditions. The count rate computed from the ratio is compared with the observed detector count rate, with proppant indicated from suppression in observed count rate relative to count rate computed from the ratio.

    摘要: Methods are provided for determining the locations and heights of fractures in a subterranean formation using a neutron-emitting logging tool. Utilizing predetermined relationships (1) between logging tool count rates and associated apparent formation hydrogen index values and (2) between logging tool count rate ratios and associated apparent formation hydrogen index values, the methods detect the presence and heights in the formation of proppant containing high thermal neutron capture cross section material in a manner substantially eliminating proppant determination uncertainty resulting from a prior change in formation hydrogen index values. A second, associated, method employing logging tool count rates and count rate ratios to determine the presence of proppant containing high thermal neutron capture cross section absorbers utilizes a crossplot of count rate versus ratio. Logged intervals containing no proppant will fall on a trend/trendline on the crossplot, whereas logged intervals containing proppant will fall off from this trend/trendline.

    摘要: A method for determining the location and height of a fracture in a subterranean formation using a neutron emitting logging tool. The method includes obtaining a pre-fracture data set, fracturing the formation with a slurry that includes a proppant doped with a high thermal neutron capture cross-section material, obtaining a post-fracture data set, comparing the pre-fracture data set and the post-fracture data set to determine the location of the proppant, and correlating the location of the proppant to a depth measurement of the borehole to determine the location and height of the fracture. Using the PNC tool, it is also possible to determine whether the proppant is located in the fracture, in the borehole adjacent to the fracture, or in both. The method may also include a plurality of post-fracture logging procedures used to determine various fracture and production characteristics in the formation.

    摘要: Total porosity of impregnated thin sections can be measured using X-ray fluorescence. The technique requires an impregnating fluid which contains an element not contained in more than trace quantities by the rock. By measuring the intensity of fluorescence generated by bombarding the impregnated thin section with sufficiently energetic X-rays and rationing that intensity to the intensity of fluorescence generated by subjecting a sample containing only epoxy to the same conditions, and scaling the resulting measures of fluorescence, a measure of total effective porosity is produced.

    摘要: The high temperature strength to density ratio of titanium aluminum niobium alloys of the Ti.sub.3 Al (alpha two) type is increased when molybdenum is added. New alloys contain by atomic percent 25-27 aluminum, 11-16 (niobium+molybdenum), 1-4 molybdenum, balance titanium. When vanadium replaces up to 3.5% molybdenum a lighter weight alloy is produced. The new alloys have higher elastic modulus and higher creep strength to density ratio than alloys without molybdenum.

Metal, oxygen, and sulfur combinations, wherein sulfur is present at from 10 to 60 atomic percent, are particularly useful.Disclosed is a material having the atomic formula M.sub.a S.sub.b O.sub.c where O is oxygen, S is sulfur, and M is at least one metal selected from the scandium subgroup of the periodic table transition metals (scandium, yttrium and the rare earths) and aluminum. In an alternate material, M is comprised of at least two elements, the first selected as above and the second selected from the alkaline earth metal group. A preferred material is formed by mixing and firing CaS and Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 in proportions which results in (Ca+Y).sub.0.43 S.sub.0.14 O.sub.0.43.
