    摘要: An apparatus and method for determining the density and other properties of a formation surrounding a borehole using a high voltage x-ray generator. One embodiment comprises a stable compact x-ray generator capable of providing radiation with energy of 250 keV and higher while operating at temperatures equal to or greater than 125° C. In another embodiment, radiation is passed from an x-ray generator into the formation; reflected radiation is detected by a short spaced radiation detector and a long spaced radiation detector. The output of these detectors is then used to determine the density of the formation. In one embodiment, a reference radiation detector monitors a filtered radiation signal. The output of this detector is used to control at least one of the acceleration voltage and beam current of the x-ray generator.

    摘要: A high resolution gamma-gamma apparatus is provided with a chemical source and a photon detector in such close proximity such that the detector provides a positive response to an increase in formation density. Typically, such a response is obtained when the detector opening is within one source photon mean free path of the source opening. For a Cs 137 source, the furthest spacing would be about two inches, although spacings of less than one inch are preferable. In order to decrease background noise, shielding is placed between the source and detector. A first embodiment of the tool has an uncollimated source, and a substantially uncollimated detector with the source and detector being coaxial and with the detector behind the source and separated by shielding. A second embodiment has a collimated source with an uncollimated detector, while a third embodiment has an uncollimated source with a collimated detector. The provided apparatus are useful for high resolution density and Pe measurements. Additional axially spaced negative response detectors may be included to provided additional information which are useful in correcting for environmental effects. Also, circumferentially spaced detectors along with additional sources are useful in conducting dip analysis.

    摘要: A method/apparatus for determining the density of a formation traversed by a borehole having irregularities along the borehole wall preferably employs/includes a housing, a photon source, and a detector. The source preferably includes an irradiation path extending from the source to a side of the housing. Similarly, the detector preferably includes a detection path extending from the detector to the side of the housing. A stylus may be mounted onto the housing for penetrating through a layer of mudcake. Such stylus preferably includes a base and a substantially small contact head having a window fixedly attached thereto. A second irradiation path may extend from the base to the contact head. A second detection path may also extend from the base to the contact head. The irradiation and detection paths in the stylus are preferably substantially aligned with respective irradiation and detection paths in the housing.
