    Abstract: A radiation detector is used in a well-logging tool for positioning in a wellbore of a geologic formation. The radiation detector includes a photomultiplier housing and a scintillator housing. A housing coupler joins together opposing ends of the photomultiplier housing and scintillator housing. A photomultiplier is contained within the photomultiplier housing and a scintillator body is contained within the scintillator housing. A scintillator window is secured to the housing coupler.

    Abstract: A well-logging device may include a housing to be positioned within a borehole of a subterranean formation, and at least one radiation source carried by the housing to direct radiation into the subterranean formation. The well-logging device may also include noble gas-based radiation detectors carried by the housing in azimuthally spaced relation to detect radiation from the subterranean formation. A controller may determine at least one property of the subterranean formation based upon the detected radiation from the noble gas-based radiation detectors.

    Abstract: A system may include one or more downhole tools, where a first downhole tool includes a pulsed neutron generator to emit neutrons into a borehole of a geological formation and one or more gamma-ray detectors to obtain a measurement of gamma-ray emissions, of a borehole environment, induced by the emitted neutrons. The system may also include data processing circuitry to determine a Sigma value associated with the borehole environment based on the measurement and determine elemental concentrations, excluding lithium, based on one or more gamma-ray energy spectra obtained via the one or more downhole tools. The data processing circuitry may also determine an elemental Sigma contribution of the elements other than lithium based on the elemental concentrations, determine a lithium Sigma contribution based on a difference between the Sigma value and the elemental Sigma contribution, and determine a lithium concentration within the borehole environment based on the lithium Sigma contribution.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating wellbore conduit condition includes using measurements of at least one of (i) inelastic gamma rays made during emission a burst of neutrons into the conduit from within the conduit at at least one spaced apart location from a position of the emission and (ii) epithermal neutrons or capture gamma rays therefrom detected at at least two spaced apart locations from the position of the emission within a selected time after the emission. The at least one of the measurements of inelastic gamma rays and epithermal neutron or capture gamma ray counts are characterized to estimate an amount of loss of iron in the conduit.

    Abstract: A downhole densitometer is used to determine one or more characteristics of a flowing fluid. The densitometer has one or more downhole x-ray sources and one or more downhole x-ray detectors. A fluid is allowed to flow past the x-ray sources. X-rays emitted by the x-ray sources and that have travelled through the flowing fluid are detected by the x-ray detectors. Characteristics of the flowing fluid are determined based on the detected x-rays. The densitometer may also have reference detectors used to measure a reference signal. The measured reference signal is used to normalize source emissions. The densitometer may be used as a permanent monitor and it may be used in conjunction with other sensors such as a flow-rate sensor or a capacitance sensor. The x-ray source may be, for example, a pyroelectric source, a radioisotopic source, or a traditional x-ray tube source.

    Abstract: A system for a downhole tool includes an X-ray generator that outputs X-ray radiation into a surrounding sub-surface formation using electrical power received from a power supply and a detector device adjacent the X-ray generator. The detector device includes a first detector with a first radiation sensitivity that outputs a first measurement signal based on interaction between a first portion of the X-ray radiation and the first detector. The detector device also includes a second detector with a second radiation sensitivity adjacent the first detector, where the second detector outputs a second measurement signal based on interaction between a second portion of the X-ray radiation and the second detector. Further, the detector device includes a control system communicatively coupled to the X-ray generator and the detector device, where the control system determines characteristics of the X-ray radiation output from the X-ray generator based at least in part on a radiation model that describes expected relationship between the characteristics of the X-ray radiation and doses indicated by the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal.
