    摘要: The disclosure provides methods of measuring an intrinsic CO ratio in a geological formation by disposing, proximate the formation, a petrophysical tool including at least one gamma-ray detector, reading a carbon gamma-ray peak for the geological formation and an oxygen gamma-ray peak for the geological formation, determining a measured CO ratio of the geological formation from the carbon gamma-ray peak and the oxygen gamma-ray peak, and correcting the measured CO ratio by applying a corrective algorithm specific for the petrophysical tool or the type of petrophysical tool to obtain an intrinsic CO ratio of the geological formation. The corrective algorithm is derived by a mathematical analysis of measured CO ratios of a sample with a known intrinsic CO ratio using the same petrophysical tool or a petrophysical tool representative of a same type of petrophysical tool. Additional methods and systems using this method are provided.

    摘要: A wellbore inspection device includes a radiation generation source operable to emit neutrons, and a radiation detector fixed relative to the radiation generation source and operable to detect backscattered neutron radiation from a surrounding environment. The radiation detector includes a plurality of individually addressable detector elements arranged in one or more concentric rings. Respective amounts of backscattered neutron radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements within a ring is indicative of the azimuthal direction of the detected backscattered neutron radiation, and the respective amount of backscattered neutron radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements of two or more concentric rings is indicative of an energy level of the backscattered neutron radiation. The inspection device determines whether a potential anomaly is present in or around the wellbore, based at least in part on the respective amounts of backscattered radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements.

    摘要: A logging system for imaging a subterranean formation that includes radiation sources that emit different energy levels of radiation into the formation. The radiation scatters from the formation and is sensed by a single sensor that is responsive to the different energy levels of radiation. The single sensor includes a crystal which includes cesium, lithium, yttrium, cerium, and chlorine. The radiation sources emit neutron rays and gamma rays.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for x-ray inspection of a pipeline girth weld. This comprises a directional x-ray source 5 which is insertable into a pipeline section and is rotatable within the pipeline. Means are provided to align the directional x-ray source with an external x-ray detector such that both may be rotated through 360 degrees substantially coaxially with the pipeline section. Means for sampling the data detected by the x-ray detector are provided so that it may be further analyzed.

    摘要: An apparatus can measure characteristics of a formation surrounding a borehole. The apparatus includes a tool body having a neutron measurement section and a density measurement section. The neutron measurement section includes a neutron source and a neutron detector arrangement spaced in an axial direction from the neutron source. The density measurement section includes a gamma ray source and a gamma ray detector arrangement spaced in an axial direction from the gamma ray source. The neutron measurement section and the density measurement section are positioned in the tool body so that the sections overlap in the axial direction and are azimuthally spaced apart in the tool body. The tool body also includes shielding to block a direct signal path from the neutron source to the gamma ray detector arrangement and to block a direct signal path from the gamma ray source to the neutron detector arrangement.
