专利汇可以提供Method for providing a natural gamma-ray lag in conjunction with assay operations within a borehole专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A borehole logging tool is utilized to assay the formations surrounding the borehole by operating a pulsed neutron source to irradiate the formations with bursts of neutrons. A neutron detector monitors the delayed neutrons produced by the formations upon irradiation by the neutrons, and a gamma-ray detector monitors the delayed gamma rays produced by the formations upon irradiation by the source neutrons. The gamma-ray detector is also operated between assay operations to detect the natural gamma radiation of the formations being assayed.,下面是Method for providing a natural gamma-ray lag in conjunction with assay operations within a borehole专利的具体信息内容。

1. In the method of logging the formations traversed by a borehole in which assay operations are carried out by: a. cyclically operating a neutron source to irradiate the formations surrounding the borehole with bursts of neutrons, b. operating a neutron detector over a time interval between bursts of neutrons from said neutron source during which said neutrons have disappeared but delayed neutrons are being emitted from the formations, thereby detecting the quantity of delayed neutrons emitted during said time interval, and c. operating a gamma-ray detector which is located sufficiently close to said neutron source and said neutron detector so as to detect delayed gamma rays emitted from oxygen in the formations when irradiated with neutrons during each burst of said neutron source, the quantity of said delayed gamma rays being representative of the quantity of neutrons produced by said neutron source, the improvement comprising the step of: operaTing said gamma-ray detector between each assay operation to detect the natural gamma rays from the formation at the level at which an assay operation is carried out, the path adjacent said neutron detector and said gamma-ray detector through which said delayed neutrons and said delayed gamma rays pass during assay operations and through which said natural gamma rays pass between assay operations comprising a material having the following characteristics: i. is essentially transparent to the passage of neutrons, delayed gamma rays, and natural gamma rays, and ii. will not become activated upon exposure to neutrons during the assay operation to produce radioisotopes which, upon decay with their characteristic half life, would produce gamma radiation that would interfere with the detection of the natural gamma rays between assay operations.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the neutrons and gamma rays are detected by way of a path consisting of zirconium.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the neutrons and gamma rays are detected by way of a path consisting of beryllium.
