    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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
