    摘要: Techniques for generating deliverable files from well logging data include obtaining the well logging data, wherein the well logging data is associated with a unique identifier; outputting a graphical deliverable file based on the well logging data, one or more templates, and a set of graphical deliverable attributes that specify how the graphical deliverable file is to be generated; and outputting an electronic data file comprising the set of graphical deliverable attributes such that the graphical deliverable file can be regenerated from the electronic data file. The well logging data may include all information necessary to recalculate the computed outputs from the raw data (e.g., computational parameters). Other methods include techniques for uniquely associating data and for making the outputs tamper-proof so that a user can compare two different types of outputs (e.g., digital and graphical deliverables) and be confident whether they are from the same source data.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for determining porosity with high sensitivity are provided. In one example, a downhole tool with such high porosity sensitivity may include a neutron source, a near neutron detector, and a far neutron detector. The neutron source may emit neutrons into the subterranean formation, which may scatter and be detected by the near and far detectors. The near neutron detector may be disposed near enough to the neutron source to detect a maximum number of neutrons when the porosity of the subterranean formation is greater than 0 p.u.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for matching the lithology effect of a downhole tool having a lower-energy neutron source, such as AmBe, using a downhole tool having a higher-energy neutron source, such as an electronic neutron generator, are provided. One such downhole tool may include a neutron source, first and second neutron detectors, and data processing circuitry. The neutron source may emit neutrons into a subterranean formation, which may scatter off the formation. The first neutron detector may detect neutrons of a relatively lower spectrum of energies than the second neutron detector. From counts of these neutrons, the data processing circuitry may determine a property of the subterranean formation having a lithology effect that substantially matches another lithology effect associated with another downhole tool having a lower-energy neutron source.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for determining the porosity of a subterranean formation with reduced lithology error are provided. In one example, a downhole tool for such purposes may include a neutron source, a plurality of neutron detectors, and data processing circuitry. The neutron source may be configured to emit neutrons into a subterranean formation, and the plurality of neutron detectors may be configured to detect neutrons scattered from the subterranean formation. At least two of the plurality of neutron detectors may be disposed at different respective distances from the neutron source. The data processing circuitry may be configured to determine a porosity of the subterranean formation based at least in part on a weighted combination of the detector responses from each of the at least two of the plurality of neutron detectors.
