The present application belongs to the field of
geological exploration, and discloses a device for
logging while drilling based on
muon imaging technology; the device comprises an outer shell, an inner cylinder and a
muon detector, wherein the inner cylinder is coaxially nested in the outer shell, and a relatively sealed detection space is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer shell; the
muon detector is arranged in the detection space; the muon
detector comprises a
scintillator assembly coaxially sleeved and arranged in the detection space and a
photodetector arranged on the inner side of the
scintillator assembly, wherein the
scintillator assembly is made of a scintillator material resistant to high temperature above 140 DEG C, and the inner wall of the detection space is provided with a heat
insulation layer. The present application can be widely applied to oil and gas exploration, mineral resources investigation and underground structure detection, and can improve the detection depth and imaging accuracy of
logging while drilling.
