Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mineral exploration technology, specifically to a uranium content detection method, a uranium content detection device, a machine-readable storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Heavier atomic nuclei, such as uranium-235, can undergo a chain reaction of nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy when neutrons are released. This is the foundation of nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons manufacturing. Nuclear power plants utilize the heat generated by nuclear fission reactions to generate electricity, and are currently one of the most important sources of electricity, boasting advantages such as low carbon emissions and high energy efficiency. A continuous and stable supply of enriched uranium is fundamental to maintaining the stable operation of nuclear power plants; therefore, efficient and accurate uranium ore detection technology is indispensable. Based on the different genesis of the uranium deposit's host block framework, domestic uranium deposits can be classified into sandstone-type uranium deposits, hard-rock-type uranium deposits, carbonaceous shale-type uranium deposits, and metamorphic uranium deposits. Among these, sandstone-type uranium deposits already account for more than 40%, and this proportion is expected to continue to increase in the future.
[0003] Currently, the evaluation of sandstone-type uranium deposits can be divided into two categories: direct detection and indirect detection. As an indirect detection method, natural gamma-ray spectroscopy logging determines the formation uranium content based on the uranium-radium balance by measuring the gamma rays emitted by radium. However, the uranium-radium balance coefficient requires the acquisition of downhole core data to determine the relative uranium content, which is time-consuming and increases exploration costs. Direct detection methods measure the instantaneous and delayed neutrons produced after neutrons interact with uranium, using the neutron-neutron ratio to evaluate the formation uranium content. This method features high evaluation accuracy and exploration efficiency, but it is significantly affected by formation water salinity, porosity, and clay content.
[0004] Therefore, existing methods for detecting uranium content are affected by the mineralization and porosity of the strata, resulting in low accuracy in uranium content calculation. Summary of the Invention

[0013] A second aspect of this application provides a uranium content detection device, comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire logging data, which includes ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic capture section information. The logging data is obtained by logging after emitting pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged. The calculation module is used to calculate the uranium content of the formation based on the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic scattering cross section information using a pre-set formation uranium content calculation model. The pre-set formation uranium content calculation model is obtained by establishing a numerical simulation model of uranium content, mineralization, and porosity conditions using the Monte Carlo method.
[0014] In this embodiment of the application, the preset uranium content calculation model for the formation is as follows: , in, This is a macroscopic capture section of the strata. For ultrathermal neutron counting, For counting thermal neutrons, , , and For scale coefficients, This represents the uranium content of the strata.
[0015] In this embodiment of the application, the acquisition module includes: The time spectrum unit is used to acquire time spectrum information, which is obtained by recording the time spectrum after the neutrons in the well interact with each other after a pulsed neutron is emitted into the well to be tested.

[0018] The above technical solution involves acquiring well logging data, including hyperthermal neutron counts, thermal neutron counts, and macroscopic trapping cross-section information. This data is obtained by logging after emitting pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged. Based on the hyperthermal neutron counts, thermal neutron counts, and macroscopic scattering cross-section information, a pre-set formation uranium content calculation model is used to calculate the formation uranium content.

This enables the detection of uranium content while eliminating the environmental influences of mineralization and porosity. Utilizing the neutron field characteristics after the interaction between neutrons and formation elements, and between neutrons and uranium-235, a uranium content evaluation method combining hyperthermal neutron count information, thermal neutron count information, and macroscopic capture cross-sections is established. This method can eliminate the errors caused by formation porosity and mineralization in the uranium content calculation process, improving the accuracy of formation uranium content evaluation and the efficiency of uranium ore detection.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates a flow chart of a uranium content detection method according to an embodiment of this application. This embodiment provides a uranium content detection method, including the following steps: Step 210: Acquire logging data, which includes ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic capture cross-section information. The logging data is obtained by logging after emitting pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged. In this embodiment, a pulsed neutron source device can be placed inside a logging instrument and slowly lowered into the well to be logged. Once activated, the pulsed neutron source emits pulsed neutrons into the surrounding formation according to a specific frequency and intensity pattern. After entering the formation, the neutrons undergo fission reactions with uranium-235. Detectors in the well can monitor various signals generated by the interaction between the neutrons and the formation, including the energy, quantity, and flight time of the scattered neutrons, as well as the energy and intensity of the gamma rays produced by the capture reaction. This monitoring data is rapidly transmitted to the surface via cable or other data transmission methods to obtain logging data. Specifically, a pulsed neutron source thermal neutron-hyperthermal neutron uranium ore logging instrument can be used to emit pulsed neutrons into the well. Then, the thermal neutron time spectrum and hyperthermal neutron time spectrum are recorded, and the hyperthermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic scattering cross-section information are extracted to obtain logging data.
[0027] In some embodiments, acquiring well logging data includes the following steps: First, time spectrum information is obtained, which is obtained by recording the time spectrum after the neutrons in the well interact with each other after a pulsed neutron is emitted into the well to be tested; In this embodiment, after a neutron interacts with matter, the detector records a series of time-related signals, the distribution of which constitutes a time spectrum. The time spectrum information mainly includes the time intervals between signals generated after neutron scattering or capture, the time of signal peak occurrence, and the duration of the signal. This information reflects the trajectory of high-energy neutrons in matter, the type of interaction, and the temporal characteristics of their reactions with different atomic nuclei.
[0028] Then, based on the time spectrum information, well logging data is obtained.
[0029] In this embodiment, the aforementioned time spectrum information includes the ultrathermal neutron time spectrum and the thermal neutron time spectrum. Ultrathermal neutrons refer to neutrons with energies greater than those of thermal neutrons. Thermal neutrons are neutrons in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding medium, and their energy distribution approximately conforms to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Their most probable energy (the energy value with the highest probability of occurrence) is approximately 0.025 eV at room temperature. Ultrathermal neutrons, on the other hand, typically have energies between 0.1 and 1000 eV, falling within the energy range between thermal neutrons and fast neutrons.
[0030] In some embodiments, the time spectrum information includes an ultrathermal neutron time spectrum and a thermal neutron time spectrum; correspondingly, obtaining well logging data based on the time spectrum information includes the following steps: The first step is to determine the superthermal neutron count based on the superthermal neutron time spectrum; In this embodiment, the superthermal neutron time spectrum records the distribution of various signals generated by the interaction between superthermal neutrons and surrounding matter along the time axis. Then, based on a counting window set according to the characteristic time range of the interaction between superthermal neutrons and specific matter, all detected signals are statistically analyzed within this counting window to obtain the superthermal neutron count.
[0031] The second step is to determine the thermal neutron count based on the thermal neutron time spectrum. In this embodiment, similar to the ultrathermal neutron counting process, the characteristic time interval of the interaction between thermal neutrons and matter can be determined first as the counting window, and then the number of detection signals can be counted within this window.
[0032] The third step is to perform single-exponential fitting on the data within a preset time window in the thermal neutron time spectrum to obtain macroscopic capture cross-section information. In this embodiment, after obtaining the thermal neutron time spectrum, a suitable preset time window is selected based on the capture characteristics of thermal neutrons in the formation or the analyte. Within this time window, the decay of the number of thermal neutron capture events over time approximately conforms to a single exponential function. The least squares method or other fitting algorithms can be used to perform a single exponential fit on the thermal neutron count data within the time window. During the fitting process, the values of parameters such as the macroscopic capture cross-section are continuously adjusted to minimize the sum of squared errors between the fitted function and the actual measured data. When performing the fitting, statistical errors and potential systematic errors, such as the influence of detector energy resolution and time resolution on the data, can be fully considered. Through precise fitting calculations, the value of the macroscopic capture cross-section is finally determined. This value reflects the material's ability to capture thermal neutrons and is an important parameter characterizing material properties (such as formation lithology and pore fluid properties).
[0033] The fourth step involves obtaining well logging data based on the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic capture section information.
[0034] In this embodiment, the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic capture section information are interconnected and together reflect various characteristics of the formation or the material to be tested, thus constituting an important part of the well logging data.
[0035] For example, the total ultrathermal neutron count can be composed of counts recorded by the ultrathermal neutron detector within the 100-1000 μs range, i.e., the total count within this range is obtained from the ultrathermal neutron time spectrum; the total thermal neutron count can be composed of counts recorded by the remote detector within the 100-1000 μs range, i.e., the total count within this range is obtained from the thermal neutron time spectrum; the macroscopic trapping cross section is obtained by using single-exponential fitting within a 300-700 μs time window in the thermal neutron time spectrum. After obtaining the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic trapping cross section information, well logging data can be obtained.
[0036] By determining the ultrathermal neutron count based on the ultrathermal neutron time spectrum and the thermal neutron count based on the thermal neutron time spectrum, and by performing single-exponential fitting on the data within a preset time window in the thermal neutron time spectrum, macroscopic capture section information can be obtained. This allows for the rapid and accurate acquisition of well logging data to characterize formation uranium content information.
[0037] In some embodiments, obtaining the time spectrum information includes the following steps: First, the initial time spectrum of multiple cycles is obtained, wherein the initial time spectrum is a multi-channel time spectrum of one cycle; In this embodiment, when acquiring a multichannel time spectrum for one cycle, a multichannel analyzer can be used to divide the time axis into multiple tiny time interval channels. Each channel acts as a time "container" to count the number of neutron detection events occurring within that specific time interval. When the electrical pulse signal generated by the detector is input into the multichannel analyzer, it is assigned to the corresponding time channel for counting based on the pulse's arrival time. As the measurement time progresses, the counts in each time channel accumulate, gradually forming a complete multichannel time spectrum for one cycle, visually demonstrating the distribution of neutron detection events on the time axis. The above measurement process needs to be repeated to obtain the initial time spectrum for multiple cycles.
[0038] Then, the initial time spectra of each cycle are accumulated according to the corresponding channel address to obtain the time spectrum information.
[0039] In this embodiment, the initial time spectrum of each cycle has a unified address division standard. This standard is pre-set by the multichannel analyzer, which divides the entire time range into numerous consecutive small time intervals, each time interval corresponding to an address. During the accumulation operation, for each address, the counts corresponding to that address in the initial time spectrum of different cycles are added sequentially. That is, if the detection event count corresponding to address 50 in the initial time spectrum of the first cycle is 100 times, the count corresponding to that address in the second cycle is 120 times, the count corresponding to that address in the third cycle is 90 times, and so on, then after accumulation, the total count corresponding to that address is the sum of all the counts at that address in each cycle. For example, in the above example, after accumulation, the total count corresponding to address 50 is 100 + 120 + 90 + … (the counts of that address in all subsequent cycles).
[0040] The time spectrum information obtained by accumulating the initial time spectra of each cycle according to the tunnel location effectively reduces data errors caused by various random interference factors in a single measurement, compared to the initial time spectrum of a single cycle. This makes the neutron-matter interaction law reflected by the time spectrum clearer and more accurate. The accumulated time spectrum information can provide a more reliable basis for judging the formation characteristics and can more intuitively reflect the changing trend of neutron absorption and scattering by the formation over time.
[0041] In some embodiments, the time spectrum information is obtained by recording the time spectrum after the neutrons in the well interact with each other after the logging tool emits pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged. The logging tool includes: a housing, and inside the housing, from bottom to top, are arranged a neutron source, a first composite material shield 2, an ultrathermal neutron detector, a second composite material shield 4, and a thermal neutron detector.
[0042] In this embodiment, the logging tool can be a controlled neutron source thermal neutron-hyperthermal neutron uranium ore logging tool. The neutron source can be a DT controlled neutron source 1, the hyperthermal neutron detector can be a hyperthermal neutron He-3 detector 3, and the thermal neutron detector can be a thermal neutron He-3 detector 5. The yield of the DT controlled neutron source 1 is not less than 1×10⁸ / s; the diameter of the instrument housing 8 is set to 91 mm; the diameter of the hyperthermal neutron detector is set to 25.4 mm, the length to 112 mm, and the distance between it and the DT controlled neutron source 1 is set to 30 cm; the diameter of the thermal neutron detector is set to 39 mm, the length to 237 mm, and the distance between it and the DT controlled neutron source 1 is set to 60 cm. The gas pressure of the hyperthermal neutron detector is 4 atmospheres, and the gas pressure of the thermal neutron detector is 6 atmospheres. The length of the first composite material shield 2 of the controllable neutron source thermal neutron-superthermal neutron uranium ore logging instrument can be set to 2~6cm, the length of the second composite material shield 4 can be set to 2~6cm, the diameter of the first composite material shield 2 and the second composite material shield 4 can both be set to 80mm, and the first composite material shield 2 and the second composite material shield 4 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene containing 5% boron.
[0043] A logging instrument is constructed by sequentially arranging a neutron source, a first composite material shield 2, an ultrathermal neutron detector, a second composite material shield 4, and a thermal neutron detector inside the casing from bottom to top. After the logging instrument emits pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged, the time spectrum after the neutrons in the well interact is recorded, thereby quickly obtaining time spectrum information.
[0044] In some embodiments, obtaining the time spectrum information includes the following steps: First, the neutron source is controlled to operate in the first time period of each cycle, so as to emit pulsed neutrons into the well to be measured in each cycle. In this embodiment, the first time can be preset, for example, if the cycle duration is 1000μs, the first time is: the first 40μs of each cycle.
[0045] Then, the multichannel ultrathermal neutron time spectrum detected by the ultrathermal neutron detector is obtained, and a first time spectrum is obtained based on the multichannel ultrathermal neutron time spectrum; In this embodiment, the first time spectrum is the ultrathermal neutron time spectrum, which is obtained by accumulating the time spectra of multiple ultrathermal neutron channels according to their respective channel addresses.
[0046] Then, the multichannel thermal neutron time spectrum detected by the thermal neutron detector is obtained, and a second time spectrum is obtained based on the multichannel thermal neutron time spectrum; In this embodiment, the second time spectrum is the thermal neutron time spectrum, which is obtained by accumulating the multiple thermal neutron time spectra according to their respective channel addresses.
[0047] Finally, based on the first time spectrum and the second time spectrum, time spectrum information is obtained.
[0048] In this embodiment, the time spectrum information includes a first time spectrum and a second time spectrum. For example, the measurement timing cycle of the logging tool is 1000 μs. During the first 40 μs of each cycle, the pulse neutron generator operates and produces neutrons. During the time interval from 40 μs to 1000 μs, the pulse neutron generator does not operate. The hyperthermal neutron detector and the thermal neutron detector record 100 channels of hyperthermal and thermal neutron time spectra totaling 1000 μs. The time spectra of multiple cycles are accumulated according to the corresponding channel addresses to obtain the hyperthermal neutron time spectrum and thermal neutron time spectrum of a depth point, thus obtaining the time spectrum information.
[0049] Step 220: Based on the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic scattering cross section information, the formation uranium content is calculated using a pre-set formation uranium content calculation model. The pre-set formation uranium content calculation model is based on a numerical simulation model of uranium content, mineralization, and porosity conditions established using the Monte Carlo method.
[0050] In this embodiment, the pre-set uranium content calculation model for the formation was obtained by conducting numerical simulations of formations with different uranium contents, porosity, and mineralization using the Monte Carlo method. In an infinitely homogeneous uranium-bearing medium, under the condition that a pulsed neutron source emits a single neutron, uranium-235 undergoes a transient fission reaction with a thermal neutron, and the resulting ultrathermal neutron density distribution over time satisfies the following formula: (1) in, The uranium content of the strata, The thermal neutron lifetime of the homogeneous medium under study; This represents the macroscopic scattering cross section of the medium. It is a time-independent constant. Defined as follows: (2) in, and These represent the abundance and atomic weight of uranium-235, respectively. It is Avogadro's constant; The microscopic cross-section of thermal neutrons and uranium-235 undergoing thermal fission; This represents the average yield of superthermal neutrons produced per fission cycle. This is a reduction of the average logarithmic energy of a neutron-nucleus collision.
[0051] With output of A period of time after the pulsed neutron source finishes emitting the neutron pulse The total count of transient hyperthermal neutrons produced by thermal neutrons and thermal fission of uranium-235 can be expressed as: (3) Further integration yields: (4) According to the two-group diffusion theory, the thermal neutron density over time after fast neutrons generated by a pulsed neutron source are slowed down by the formation can be expressed as: (5) in, The thermal neutron density at time 0.
[0052] With output of A period of time after the pulsed neutron source finishes emitting the neutron pulse The thermal neutron count is: (6) Combining ultrathermal neutron flux distribution and thermal neutron flux distribution, the uranium content of the formation The relationship between the count ratio of ultrathermal neutrons and thermal neutrons can be established as follows: (7) Among them thermal neutron lifetime Macroscopic capture section of the strata The following relationship exists: (8) Combining formulas (7) and (8), the downhole uranium content can be characterized by thermal neutrons, ultrathermal neutrons, and macroscopic capture cross sections.
[0053] It should be noted that, using the Monte Carlo method, the stratigraphic model should include at least three types of stratigraphic mineralization: 0 ppm, 20,000 ppm, and 50,000 ppm; at least seven types of stratigraphic uranium grades: 0%, 0.0025%, 0.005%, 0.0075%, 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.03%; and at least two types of porosity: 15% and 25%.
[0054] The ultrathermal neutron count extracted by ultrathermal neutrons increases with increasing formation uranium content, while the thermal neutron count and macroscopic trapping cross section count do not change with formation uranium content. With increasing porosity, the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic trapping cross section values increase. With increasing formation water salinity, the ultrathermal neutron count does not change with formation salinity, while the thermal neutron count and macroscopic trapping cross section increase with increasing formation salinity.
[0055] The formation uranium content characterization formula, composed of ultrathermal neutrons, thermal neutrons, and macroscopic capture cross sections, can be expressed by the following equation: (9) in, , , and The calibration coefficients of the formula are obtained by calibrating the response results under different porosity, mineralization, and uranium content conditions. The calibration coefficients of the above formula can be obtained through Monte Carlo numerical simulation, requiring at least three mineralization conditions (0 ppm, 20000 ppm, and 50000 ppm), seven formation uranium grades (0%, 0.0025%, 0.005%, 0.0075%, 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.03%), and thermal neutron time spectra and ultrathermal neutron time spectra under two porosity conditions (15% and 25%). The formula coefficients are then obtained by fitting the data using the least squares method.
[0056] That is, the pre-set uranium content calculation model for the formation is: , in, This is a macroscopic capture section of the strata. For ultrathermal neutron counting, For counting thermal neutrons, , , and For scale coefficients, This represents the uranium content of the strata.
[0057] In this embodiment, after obtaining the information on the ultrathermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic scattering cross section, the uranium content of the formation can be obtained by substituting it into the aforementioned preset formation uranium content calculation model.
[0058] In the above implementation process, well logging data is acquired, including hyperthermal neutron counts, thermal neutron counts, and macroscopic trapping cross-section information. This data is obtained by logging after emitting pulsed neutrons into the well to be logged. Based on the hyperthermal neutron counts, thermal neutron counts, and macroscopic scattering cross-section information, a pre-set formation uranium content calculation model is used to calculate the formation uranium content. This model is based on a numerical simulation model of uranium content, mineralization, and porosity conditions established using the Monte Carlo method. By acquiring the hyperthermal neutron counts, thermal neutron counts, and macroscopic trapping cross-section information, a direct characterization relationship between the information and the formation uranium content is established using the pre-set formation uranium content calculation model. This model utilizes the Monte Carlo method to establish numerical simulation models under different uranium content, mineralization, and porosity conditions. Numerous random simulation experiments are conducted using the Monte Carlo method to simulate the transport process of radioactive particles in different models. Through in-depth analysis of the simulation data, the quantitative relationship between uranium content and the detection signal is accurately obtained, thereby achieving accurate detection of uranium content. Furthermore, by comparing the detection results under different mineralization and porosity models, the interference characteristics of these environmental factors on the detection signal are clearly identified, thereby effectively eliminating the environmental influences such as mineralization and porosity. This enables the detection of uranium content while eliminating the environmental influences of mineralization and porosity. Utilizing the neutron field characteristics after the interaction between neutrons and formation elements, and between neutrons and uranium-235, a uranium content evaluation method combining hyperthermal neutron count information, thermal neutron count information, and macroscopic capture cross-sections is established. This method can eliminate the errors caused by formation porosity and mineralization in the uranium content calculation process, improving the accuracy of formation uranium content evaluation and the efficiency of uranium ore detection.
[0059] The uranium content detection method provided in this embodiment has high sensitivity and can overcome the uranium content evaluation error caused by conventional natural gamma under uranium-radium imbalance conditions. It also eliminates the influence of formation mineralization on the uranium content evaluation of conventional ultrathermal neutron-thermal neutron ratio. This provides theoretical and technical support for sandstone-type uranium deposit content evaluation methods and the elimination of influencing factors on ultrathermal neutron-thermal neutron ratio uranium content evaluation parameters. Through simulated data experiments, the average absolute error of uranium content calculation is 0.006, compared to 0.036 for conventional ultrathermal neutron-thermal neutron ratio average uranium content calculation, representing an 83% reduction in error.
[0060] The following is a detailed explanation of the solution using specific examples: Based on the process of generating transient hyperthermal neutrons from the thermal neutron-induced uranium-235 fission reaction, a logging tool consisting of a DT source, a hyperthermal neutron detector, and a thermal neutron detector is used, such as... Figure 2As shown, the instrument housing 8 contains, from bottom to top, a DT controllable neutron source 1, a first composite material shield 2, a superthermal neutron He-3 detector 3, a second composite material shield 4, a thermal neutron He-3 detector 5, and the instrument housing 8. The logging tool is installed in the formation 6, and its specific parameters are shown below: The instrument housing 8 has a diameter of 91 mm. A first composite material shield 2 is filled between the DT controllable neutron source 1 and the superthermal neutron detector 3. The first composite material shield 2 has a length of 2-6 cm and a diameter of 80 mm, and is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) containing 5% boron. The superthermal neutron detector 3 has a diameter of 25.4 mm, a length of 112 mm, and is 30 cm away from the DT controllable neutron source 1. It is filled with He-3 gas at 4 atmospheres. A second composite material shield 4 is filled between the superthermal neutron He-3 detector 3 and the thermal neutron He-3 detector 5. The second composite material shield 4 has a length of 2-6 cm, a diameter of 80 mm, and is made of PTFE containing 5% boron. The thermal neutron He-3 detector 5 has a diameter of 39 mm, a length of 237 mm, and is 60 cm away from the DT controllable neutron source 1. It is filled with He-3 gas at 6 atmospheres. The thermal neutron He-3 detector operates at 6 atmospheres.
[0061] The measurement timing cycle of the pulsed neutron source thermal neutron-hyperthermal neutron uranium ore logging tool is 1000 μs. During the first 40 μs of each cycle, the pulsed neutron generator 1 operates and generates neutrons. During the time from 40 μs to 1000 μs, the pulsed neutron generator does not operate. The hyperthermal neutron He-3 detector 3 and the thermal neutron He-3 detector 5 record 100 channels of hyperthermal and thermal neutron time spectra for a total of 1000 μs. The time spectra of multiple cycles are accumulated according to the corresponding channel addresses to obtain the hyperthermal and thermal neutron time spectra of a depth point.
[0062] Using the pulsed neutron source thermal neutron-hyperthermal neutron uranium ore logging tool described above, the thermal neutron time spectrum and hyperthermal neutron time spectrum are recorded, and hyperthermal neutron count, thermal neutron count, and macroscopic scattering cross section information are extracted to characterize the formation uranium content and eliminate the influence of porosity and mineralization on the uranium content characterization results. Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 1: Based on the neutron-induced 235U instantaneous fission theory and the thermal neutron two-group diffusion theory, the uranium content of the formation is characterized by a combination of ultrathermal neutron counting, thermal neutron counting, and macroscopic trapping cross-sections, as shown in Formula 10. (10) Among them thermal neutron lifetime Macroscopic capture section of the strata The following relationship exists: (11) Step 2.1: Using the Monte Carlo method, establish formation models with different uranium contents, porosity, and mineralization. Simulate continuous measurements on the wellbore using a pulsed neutron source thermal neutron-hyperthermal neutron uranium ore logging tool attached to the wellbore 7. The DT controllable neutron source 1 emits neutrons according to the designed timing sequence, and the time spectrum of the hyperthermal neutron detector is recorded as follows: Figure 3 The thermal neutron time spectrum information is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0063] Step 2.2, according to Figure 3 Record the superthermal neutron time spectrum and extract the counts within the recording time range of 100-1000 μs as superthermal neutron count information. Figure 4 The thermal neutron time spectrum was recorded, and the counts within the recording time range of 100-1000 μs were extracted as thermal neutron count information. Single exponential fitting was used to process the counts within the time window of 300-700 μs in the thermal neutron time spectrum to extract the macroscopic capture section information of the formation.
[0064] Step 3: Based on the measurement response of thermal neutrons, hyperthermal neutrons, and macroscopic capture cross sections under strata with different uranium contents and different mineralization, and combined with the uranium content evaluation formula of the strata described in Step 1, a method for measuring uranium content by thermal neutron capture cross sections, hyperthermal neutron counts, and thermal neutron counts is formed, and its characterization formula is shown in Equation 12.
[0065] (12) in , , and The scale factor for the formula is obtained by scaling the response results under different porosity, mineralization, and uranium content conditions.
[0066] In this embodiment, the calibration coefficients of the uranium content characterization formula are obtained through Monte Carlo numerical simulation. As shown in step 2.1, at least three mineralization conditions (0 ppm, 20000 ppm, and 50000 ppm), seven formation uranium grades (0%, 0.0025%, 0.005%, 0.0075%, 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.03%), and thermal neutron time spectra and ultrathermal neutron time spectra under two porosity formation conditions (15% and 25%) are obtained. The formula coefficients are obtained by fitting using the least squares method.
[0067] Figure 5The response diagrams for the superthermal neutron-thermal neutron count ratio under different uranium ore grades and mineralization conditions are shown. As the uranium ore grade increases, the superthermal neutron-thermal neutron count ratio increases. Under the same uranium ore grade, the superthermal neutron-thermal neutron count ratio decreases as the mineralization increases. The uranium grade characterization formula obtained by calibration under 0 mineralization conditions will result in uranium content calculation errors in mineralized water-bearing strata. Figure 6 The figure shows a comparison between the uranium content calculated using the conventional counting ratio and the new method, and the actual uranium content. The fission hyperthermal-thermal neutron uranium content detection method proposed in this example, which combines macroscopic trapping sections, can eliminate the influence of formation porosity and mineralization. The calculated uranium content is basically consistent with the actual uranium content of the formation, with an average absolute error of 0.006. The average absolute error of the conventional hyperthermal-thermal neutron uranium content calculation is 0.036.
