RG Neutron Probe

Neutron Probe

An uncalibrated single-detector neutron probe suitable for qualitative porosity logging under most borehole conditions including through steel or plastic casing and drillpipe.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The probe contains a 3He proportional detector and a detachable, sealed neutron source. Fast neutrons from the source are scattered and slowed, principally by hydrogen in the formation, until they reach thermal energy levels and are absorbed. The flux of thermal neutrons reaching the detector is related to the hydrogen content of the formation and, in ‘clean’ formations free from shale, to its porosity.

   
FEATURES
Relative porosity indication range equivalent to 0 - 60% sandstone porosity
Small diameter permits use in drill-pipe and narrow casing
Option of natural gamma for correlation
Option of CCL for casing inspection
