    摘要: In one illustrative embodiment of the invention, an armored multiconductor cable connects an array of transformers and gate circuits in a borehole logging tool with a similar array at the earth''s surface. The downhole gates are enabled in a predetermined order to transmit sequential portions of a logging signal to the surface. A downhole logic circuit applies the successive signal portions to the cable conductors in a series of conductors potential combinations, or modes. The mode signals enable respective gates at the earth''s surface to produce a sequence of pulses that corresponds to the original signal.

    摘要: A typical embodiment of the invention enables neutrons of low average energy that characteristically are emitted from californium 252 (Cf252) to react with, or fail to react with, nuclei within an earth formation, depending on the energy threshold for the reaction in question. The neutron activation induced by means of the Cf252 source is compared with the response induced in the formation through neutrons of higher average energies from other sources, The activation comparison permits the identification of elements and minerals in the formation to be determined accurately.

    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.

    摘要: In the particular embodiments of the invention described herein, the formation surrounding a well bore is irradiated with a burst of neutrons and the neutron concentration is observed during selected time intervals after irradiation to determine the thermal neutron decay time characterizing the formation. In one embodiment, the neutron concentration is observed during a first interval one decay time long and during a second and subsequent interval two decay times long which starts immediately after the first interval. In another embodiment the two intervals are spaced by one decay time.
