Problems solved by technology

The gamma-gamma density logging method uses a radioactive chemical source, which poses a potential radioactive hazard to the construction personnel and the surrounding environment; while the measurement results of the method using the dual source distance non-elastic gamma count ratio are affected by the hydrogen content index of the formation, the instrument A pulsed neutron source must be used, the timing control is more complicated, and most of the methods for correcting the formation hydrogen content index are empirical formulas, lacking theoretical support

Abstract

The invention relates to a well logging method utilizing a direct current controllable neutron source to calculate a stratum density. A D-D direct current neutron source and a multi-detector measurement system comprising two neutron detectors and three gamma detectors are utilized to record a total count number of neutrons in different positions and a gamma energy spectrum, and a stratum density is calculated. The calculation of the stratum density through the utilization of the direct current controllable neutron source is realized without pulse sequential control. The design of the apparatuses and data processing processes are simplified. The stability of the apparatuses is improved, and a new means is provided for the obtaining of stratum density information in a well logging process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas well logging systems, in particular to a logging method for calculating formation density by using a direct current controllable neutron source. Background technique [0002] The conventional density logging method is gamma-gamma density logging, which uses a gamma source and a gamma detector to record the counts of the gamma rays generated by the gamma source entering the detector after Compton scattering in the formation. Get the formation density parameter. Recently, a logging method using secondary gamma generated by a neutron source to measure formation density has appeared at home and abroad. Most of its principles use a 14.3 MeV D-T pulsed neutron source and two gamma detectors to record the two source distances respectively. The total counts of non-elastic gamma and captured gamma are calculated using the captured gamma count ratio of the two source distances to correct the effect of ...
