  • PULSED NEUTRON APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING SAME TO ANALYZE CORE SAMPLES
    Publication number: 20220349846
    Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing a core sample obtained from a subterranean formation includes a neutron generator, a plurality of detectors, a computed tomography scanner, an information processing device, and a transport system. The neutron generator can operate in a pulsed mode and emit neutrons into the core sample.

  • Peak tracking and rejection in acoustic logs
    Patent number: 10209384
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an approach to improving the accuracy of signal-peak tracking in acoustic logs by supplementing a semblance method used to detect signal peaks in individual coherence-, correlation- or amplitude-based semblance maps with consistency checks based on rock-physics constraints and/or based on history and/or future data for the signal of interest.

  • Systems and methods for neutron detection in nuclear logging tools
    Patent number: 9341738
    Abstract: A neutron detector includes a hollow shaped lithium-6-containing scintillator configured to produce a light signal in response to a neutron incident on the scintillator, a gamma-absorbing core that at least partially fills the inside of the hollow scintillator, and a device configured to produce an electrical signal in response to the light emitted from the scintillator.
