Position sensitive detector density well logging tool development

In well-logging industry, gamma-ray density logging is an indispensable method to determine formations’ lithology and porosity. This research proposal under the support of Mitacs and Rimpac Advanced Technology Development Ltd. aims at developing a high-resolution density well logging tool which is expected to achieve higher precision and better vertical resolution of formation density measurement. This work is based on a previous Mitacs project. In this project, we will study the performance of this novel density logging tool in some complex geologic models.
