RG density gamma probe

Density Gamma Probe (Trisonde)

The trisonde is a convenient alternative to the standard RG sidewall density probe whenever borehole diameter is restricted and qualitative density measurements are sufficient. One common application is logging through drill pipe when unstable borehole conditions prevent use of unprotected nuclear probes. The probe is unfocussed and indicates the average density of material surrounding the borehole.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The probe contains a gamma source and two
high-sensitivity scintillation gamma detectors.
Gamma radiation from the source is backscattered by the formation (Compton effect) and reaches the two detectors where the relative count-rates provide a measure of formation bulk density.

   
FEATURES
Long-spacing detector (LSD) for deep penetration and immunity from borehole effects.
High-resolution detector (HRD) for accurate bed-boundary detection.
Optional temperature and borehole-inclination measurement.
