Effect of density measurement on D-D induced gamma counting
The controllable neutron source is used to replace the chemical gamma source to measure the formation density in oil exploration.
Purpose:
2
The effect of capture gamma counting on density is studied in the process of D-D source density measurement.
Methods:
2
Firstly
the principle of D-D source density measurement is analyzed
and the type of gamma-ray source in the process of D-D source and the formation is studied. In addition
the intensity of induced gamma between D-D and D-T source density measurement is compared using Monte Carlo simulation method.
Results & Conclusion:
2
The capture gamma takes a large proportion on D-D induced gamma density measurement. Although neutron yield of D-D source is far lower than that of D-T source
the capture gamma counting of D-D source is higher than inelastic gamma counting of D-T source with the distance from the source more than 50 cm in the low porosity formation. In addition
the capture gamma counting can be obtained by adjusting the source size to meet the requirements of density measurement in high porosity formation. Therefore
the counting of D-D induced gamma can meet the statistical accuracy of the density measurement.
