Position sensitive detector density well logging tool development

In well logging of the oil and gas industry, gamma-ray density logging is an indispensable method to determine a formation’s lithology and porosity. The most important index for a density logging tool is its precision and vertical resolution. This research proposal under support of MITACS and Rimpac Advanced Technology Development Ltd. aims at developing a high resolution density well logging tool which is expected to achieve a higher precision and a better vertical resolution of formation density measurement. Through this project we will study feasibility of this novel density logging tool and develop its data interpretation methodology.
