TECHNOLOGY FOR CURRENT OIL SATURATION ESTIMATION THROUGH NUCLEAR LOGGING METHODS

is designed for a current monitoring of designing oil and oil/gas ledge by a complex of nuclear-geophysical methods, which contain of spectral impulse neutron gamma-ray (INGR-S or C/O logging), dual modification impulse neutron gamma-ray (2INGR, 2INNL) and spectral natural gamma radiation logging (SGR).

Problems to be solved:

  • information supply for effective control of design process of productive oil and gas ledges according to results research of cased well of old fund, and also newly drilling wells;
  • volumetric reservoir model elaboration considering the nature of natural gamma-radiation and elemental rock composition;
  • rock pore space fluid model determination;
  • oilsaturated ledge emissions;
  • current productive ledge coefficient evaluation;
  • watering interval emission with evaluation.

2NGK-43/60 DUAL-SPACING NEUTRON GAMMA RAY LOGGING TOOL

is designed for water-saturated porosity coefficient determination in different boreholes.

Features and Advantages

  • downhole tool small diameter;
  • eliminates pulse miscounting due to dead time correction of recording channels, which includes signal analog transmission with bipolar 10-20 microsecond pulses, using statistic compensation circuits;
  • high-performance helium-filled neutron counter.
