Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to an improved method for detecting radiation emitted from deep underground oil wells that uses two different types of nuclear reactor technology: double-neutrons (DN) or gamma rays (γ). This allows better accuracy than previous methods due to less impact on drilling environments during measurements. Additionally, this new approach has higher integrated circuits with stronger stabilization capabilities making it easier to operate and maintain over time without losing its effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technology describes two types of tools used for measuring fluid properties such as permeability within formations during drilling operations. One type uses an accelerator device called a scintillometer, while another one uses thermocouple devices. However, both techniques have limitations when applied together because each technique requires its own electronics and does not work well over varying hole conditionings and errors associated therewith.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Refer to attached figure 2 , The compensated neutron logging tool includes: upper joint 1, shell 2, power frame 3, thermos bottle 4, signal processing circuit frame 5, long source distance detector (helium 3 tube) 6, shielding body 7, short source distance detection Mechanical components such as the device, neutron source bin housing 9, neutron source bin 10, lower connector 11, and circuits such as pulse signal processing circuits, communication control and data transmission circuits, and power circuits.

[0015] When the instrument works, it needs to supply 180V AC from the ground. The power supply circuit of the downhole instrument converts 180V AC power into two stable +24V and one +5V DC power supplies. One of the channels +24V is input to the high-voltage black bar. The high-voltage black rod generates +1150V±50V working high voltage to supply long and short source distance neutron detectors. Another +24V input to the pulse signal processing circuit. The +5V ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a neutron logger for measuring stratigraphic porosity in borehole, and its technical solution mainly comprises top joint, casing, power supply framework, thermos flask, neutron detector (He 3 tube), signal processing circuit framework, screening body, neutron source house, and bottom joint, as well as pulse signal processing circuit, communication control and data transmission circuit, and power supply circuit, and it is characterized in that: the neutron detector is composed of two neutron detectors on the same side of the neutron source, where the two neutron detectors are respectively called short spacing (SS) and long spacing (LS), according to their spacing from the neutron source. And the SS and LS neutron detectors, screening body, fixing devices and pulse signal processing circuit are arranged in a heat insulating device and the two neutron detectors are both coated with thermal conductivity protective layers. The invention has high detecting efficiency, higher error compensation and data processing accuracy, high integrity of signal processing circuit and power supply circuit, and strong stability, convenient to use and maintain.
