摘要： An improved fast neutron detector fabricated with alternating layers of hydrogenous, optically transparent, non scintillating material and scintillating material. Fast neutrons interact with the hydrogenous material generating recoil protons. The recoil protons enter the scintillating material resulting in scintillations. The detector is optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube which generates electrical pulses proportional in amplitude to the intensity of the scintillations, and therefore are an indication of the energy of the fast neutrons impinging upon the detector. Alternating layers of materials are dimensioned to optimize total efficiency of the detector, or to optimize the spectroscopy efficiency of the detector. The scintillating material is preferably ZnS, and the hydrogenous material is preferably plastic. The detector is ideally suited for well logging applications and fast neutron monitor applications.

摘要： A borehole logging system for determining bulk density, porosity and formation gas/liquid fluid saturation of formation penetrated by a borehole. Measures of fast neutron radiation and inelastic scatter gamma radiation, induced by a pulsed neutron source, are combined with an iterative numerical solution of a two-group diffusion model to obtain the formation parameters of interest. Double-valued ambiguities in prior art measurements are removed by using the iterative solution of the inverted two-group diffusion model. The system requires two gamma ray detectors at different axial spacings from the source, and a single neutron detector axially spaced between the two gamma ray detectors. The system can be embodied as a wireline system or as a logging-while-drilling system.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for measuring radiation in a borehole environment using a YAlO3:Ce (YAP) scintillation crystal. Borehole instruments are disclosed which employ a gamma ray detector comprising a YAP scintillator coupled to a light sensing means such as a photomultiplier tube. One instrument embodiment combines a YAP scintillation detector and a source of pulsed neutrons. Borehole environs are irradiated with neutrons, and induced gamma radiation is measured using a YAP scintillation detector. Response of the detector is used to determine characteristics of the borehole environs. Mechanical and physical properties of YAP are utilized to obtain improved measurements. The relatively short light decay constant of YAP minimized pulse pile-up in the detector when measurements require that the detector be operated during a neutron pulse.

摘要： A device for measuring the density of a formation uses a high-energy pulsed neutron source which induces gamma rays in the formation, and determines a gamma diffusion length of the formation based on the attenuation of gamma rays produced by inelastic scattering of fast neutrons. The borehole tool houses the neutron source along with a near gamma ray detector and a far gamma ray detector. The gamma ray detectors are located at different distances from the fast neutron source and spaced sufficiently from the fast neutron source such that dependence of inelastic gamma counts on fast neutron transport and gamma production of the formation is substantially reduced. Gamma ray events can be sorted and counted in time- and energy-dependent bins. The present invention has several advantages over gamma-gamma logging, including deeper penetration of gamma, and is also superior over systems which measure, e.g., hydrogen-based porosity.

摘要： A system for measuring density of material which can be embodied to measuring bulk density of material penetrated by a borehole. The probe component of the system comprises a source of neutron radiation and preferably two gamma ray spectrometers. The neutron source induces gamma radiation with energies up to about 10 MeV within the material being measured. Formation bulk density is determined by combining spectra of the induced gamma radiation with preferably two gamma ray spectrometers at differing axial spacings from the source. The high energy and dispersed nature of the induced gamma radiation yields greater radial depth of investigation than that obtainable with prior art backscatter density systems, which typically use gamma ray sources local to a probe and of energy about 1.3 MeV or less. The system can alternately be embodied to measure other material properties and to measure density of materials not penetrated by a borehole.

摘要： A valve for use in a pressure differentially operated servo-motor to regulate the flow of fluid through a bore in a hub from first and second sources in response to movement of an input member by an operator. The valve has a resilient disc member with a peripheral surface and a central opening. First and second annular ribs symmetrically extend from opposite sides of the disc adjacent the central opening. A spring connected to the input member holds the peripheral surface in sealing engagement with the hub. In a first mode of operation, the spring holds the input member against the first annular rib to allow the fluid from the first source to freely communicate between first and second passages in the hub by way of the bore. In a second mode or operation, the input member moves out of contact with the first rib; however, the internal resiliency of the disc and a pressure differential created across the disc between the first and second sources of fluid moves the first rib into contact with a seat in the hub to inhibit flow communication of and fluid from the first source through the bore while allowing the fluid from the second source to freely flow through the second passage to create the pressure differential from operating the servomotor.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for determining one or more fluid parameters of interest by irradiating fluid with a source of nuclear electromagnetic radiation and subsequently measuring attenuation and absorption properties of the fluid from which parameters of interest are determined. Measurements are made with a formation tester tool comprising preferably two functionally configured flow lines. The source simultaneously irradiates fluid contained in opposing irradiation sections that can be integral sections of each of the two flow lines. A radiation detector is dedicated to each irradiation section and measures radiation attenuation and absorption properties fluid contained within each flow line section. Absolute and relative fluid parameters of interest are determined from the responses of the two radiation detectors.

摘要： A gamma ray detector assembly for a borehole logging system that requires the measure of gamma radiation with optimized gamma ray energy resolution and with fast emission times required to obtain meaningful measurements in high radiation fields. The detector assembly comprises a lanthanum bromide (LaBr3) scintillation crystal and a digital spectrometer that cooperates with the crystal to maximize pulse processing throughput by digital filtering and digital pile-up inspection of the pulses. The detector assembly is capable of digital pulse measurement and digital pile-up inspection with dead-time less than 600 nanoseconds per event. Pulse height can be accurately measured (corrected for pile-up effects) for 2 pulses separated by as little as 150 nanoseconds. Although the invention is applicable to virtually any borehole logging methodology that uses the measure of gamma radiation in harsh borehole conditions, the invention is particularly applicable to carbon/oxygen logging.
