    摘要: A composition and method are given for self-destructive fluid loss additives and filter cakes in wellbores and subterranean formations. The fluid loss additives and filter cakes are formed from a mixture of particulate solid acid-precursors, such as a polylactic acid or a polyglycolic acid, and particulate solid acid-reactive materials, such as magnesium oxide or calcium carbonate. In the presence of water, the solid acid-precursors hydrolyze and dissolve, generating acids that then dissolve the solid acid-reactive materials. The composition is used in oilfield treatments such as drilling, completion and stimulation where it disappears when it is no longer needed without the use of mechanical means or injection of additional fluids.

    摘要: In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a technique for stabilizing the gain of a radiation detector is described. In this technique, a reference radiation source having a predetermined energy spectrum is located adjacent, or enclosed within, a scintillator of a radiation detector. Those signals produced by the radiation detector which represent energies within an energy range defined by the reference source energy spectrum are selected and used to determine the relationship between the energy spectrum of the reference source and the energy spectrum of the selected detector signals. From this relationship, a reference signal is generated which is used to adjust the radiation detector gain in a nonlinear manner to cause the energy spectrum of the selected radiation detector signals to correspond to that of the reference radiation source.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for correcting measurement errors due to cycle skipping in acoustic-wave transit time measurements. The measurement made during sequence N-1 is stored in an auxiliary memory and compared with the next measurement (sequence N). If the difference between the two successive measurements is smaller than a given fraction of the average period of the acoustic waves used, the measurement of sequence N is transmitted to a measurement memory and recorded. Otherwise, it is the last measurement considered good which is recorded. Moreover, in case of erroneous measurement, the transfer of the control signal for the gain applied to the reception signal is stopped and the gain remains at its former value. Significant improvement in the quality of acoustic well-logging recordings is achieved.

    摘要: In a tool for measuring the density of the geological formations traversed by a borehole, an apparatus corrects the effects of barite on the count rate of the pulses which are used for the density measurement and have an amplitude higher than a given threshold, by determining the deformations in the amplitude spectrum of these pulses and adjusting this threshold so as to compensate by the variation in the number of pulses taken into account, resulting from the adjustment, for the variation in the number of counted pulses resulting from the said deformations.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for verifying the validity of data derived at least in part by neutron logging of earth formations, and, where indicated, for affording neutron diffusion-corrected values of such data, are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiments described, an earth formation is irradiated with discrete pulses of high-energy neutrons, and a neutron characteristic of the formation is measured at a first location spaced from the neutron source by observing the neutron population decay at that location during a time period between pulses that is a function of a like earlier measurement of the neutron characteristic. The neutron population decay at a second location in the formation is also measured during a time period that is functionally related to a measured value of the neutron characteristic, conveniently the earlier measured value at the first location. An indication is then derived in response to the population decay measurement at the second location of the validity, specifically, of either the earlier or current value of the neutron characteristic measured at the first location as a measure of the intrinsic value of the neutron characteristic and, generally, of the validity of other neutron-logging derived data as well. Advantageously, the neutron characteristic measured is a thermal neutron absorption characteristic of the formation, such as the thermal decay time constant. In effect, apparent values of the neutron characteristic are observed at both measurement locations and a comparison of these observations made to determine the extent of correlation therebetween. Close agreement of the apparent values indicates an accurate measurement of the intrinsic formation characteristic. Substantial disagreement betweenthe apparent values evidences that perturbational effects have significantly influenced the neutron characteristic measurement and that appropriate correction of the measurement should be made.

    摘要: A specific embodiment of the invention identifies the chemical composition of an earth formation and compensates for mudcake during well logging. The formation is irradiated with photons that have energies less than about 1 mev. A low energy gamma radiation detector is positioned close to the gamma radiation source primarily to measure borehole parameters, while a second low energy gamma radiation detector, spaced more distantly from the gamma ray source, measures borehole characteristics and the mineral composition of the formation. The signals from the detectors are normalized and combined to produce an output that identifies formation lithology and effective mudcake thickness.

    摘要: In the representative embodiments of the new and improved methods and apparatus for testing earth formations disclosed herein, fluid-admitting means are placed into sealing engagement with a potentially-productive earth formation. A first test chamber coupled to the fluid-admitting means is then slowly expanded at a known rate of expansion to induct a minor volume of producible connate fluids, if any, from the formation into the chamber. Thereafter, a second test chamber also coupled to the fluid-admitting means is quickly expanded at a known higher expansion rate to induct a second minor volume of connate fluids into the second chamber. By monitoring the resulting fluid pressures as these first and second samples are successively inducted, reliable surface indications are quickly provided of at least the approximate flow rates at which large-volume samples can be subsequently collected from the earth formation.

    摘要: An illustrative embodiment of the invention discloses a technique for converting pulse neutron measurements of certain parameters relating to properties of strata adjacent to a well bore into more accurate indications of those properties. More particularly, thermal neutron decay time measurements, which are usually indicative of the chemical compositon of formation fluids, have been subject to hitherto unrecognized sources of error. These measurement conversions are accomplished through the application of predetermined factors derived from parameters that introduced the errors into the measurements. Typically, a compensation is made for the borehold or casing pipe diameter and the salinity of the fluid in the borehole to establish a more accurate indication of the neutron properties of adjacent formations.
