摘要:
Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for creating artificial real-time gamma ray (GR) images for well placement. Real-time azimuthal density data is determined from drilling of a well. An azimuthal density data set is generated using the real-time azimuthal density data. The azimuthal density data set is generated with a greater sampling rate than a real-time sampling rate of the real-time azimuthal density data. An azimuthal density curve depth match is performed using the azimuthal density data set. Performing the azimuthal density curve depth match includes creating a depth shift match table. A high-resolution sector near-bit gamma ray (GR) image is generated using the azimuthal density curve depth match and the depth shift match table. The high-resolution sector near-bit GR image is oriented to a top of a wellbore for the well.

An apparatus can measure characteristics of a formation surrounding a borehole. The apparatus includes a tool body having a neutron 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 apparatus also includes a density measurement section having 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.

A tool for formation logging includes a support configured for movement in a borehole; a source mounted on the support, the source configured to emit neutrons and gamma rays; and at least one sensor mounted on the support and spaced apart from the source, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect at least one selected from the group consisting of gamma rays and neutrons. A method for formation logging in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes emitting neutrons and gamma rays into a formation, using a source on a logging tool disposed in a borehole penetrating the formation; and detecting gamma-ray signals and neutron signals scattered by the formation, using at least one detector on the logging tool.

A specific embodiment of the invention provides a technique for measuring the matrix composition and gas saturation of an earth formation surrounding a borehole. These parameters may be measured by combining porosity dependent signals derived from two-detector neutron porosity tool with the bulk density-related signals from a two-detector gamma-gamma mudcake compensated density tool. The combined signals produce more accurate indications of matrix lithology and gas saturation.

A downhole multi-modality inspection system includes a first imaging device operable to generate first imaging data and a second imaging device operable to generate second imaging data. The first imaging device includes a first source operable to emit energy of a first modality, and a first detector operable to detect returning energy induced by the emitted energy of the first modality. The second imaging device includes a second source operable to emit energy of a second modality, and a second detector operable to detect returning energy induced by the emitted energy of the second modality. The system further includes a processor configured to receive the first imaging data and the second imaging data, and integrate the first imaging data with the second imaging data into an enhanced data stream. The processor correlates the first imaging data and the second imaging data to provide enhanced data for detecting potential wellbore anomalies.

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.

A method is for creating a gamma ray source downhole by creating a radioactive material through irradiation of an inert material by high energy neutrons, wherein the material to be activated may surround the neutron source in close proximity to form a compact gamma ray source. The gamma rays generated by the activation may be used to perform nuclear measurements downhole.
