This invention relates generally to oil and gas well logging tools. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved method of analyzing signals produced by nuclear logging tools typically used for determination of formation density and porosity and mineralogy.
In petroleum and hydrocarbon production, it is desirable to know the porosity of the subterranean formation which contains the hydrocarbon reserves. Knowledge of porosity is essential in calculating the oil saturation and thus the volume of oil in-place within the reservoir. Knowledge of porosity is particularly useful in older oil wells where porosity information is either insufficient or nonexistent to determine the remaining in-place oil and to determine whether sufficient oil exists to justify applying enhanced recovery methods. Porosity information is also helpful in identifying up-hole gas zones and differentiating between low porosity liquid and gas.
If the density of the formation is known, then porosity can be determined using known equations. A variety of tools exist which allow the density of the reservoir to be determined. Most of these tools are effective in determining the density (and hence porosity) of the reservoir when the wellbore in which the tool is run is an uncased reservoir and the tool is able to contact the subterranean medium itself. However, once a well has been cased, there exists a layer of steel and concrete between the interior of the wellbore where the tool is located and the formation itself. The well casing makes it difficult for signals to pass between the tool and the reservoir and visa versa. In addition, the cement can confuse the measurement of formation properties.
Common to the logging tools generally referred to as �nuclear� logging tools is a source of radiation. The emitted radiation interacts with the earth formation and the results of the interaction, which may be neutrons or gamma rays are detected (as pulses) by one or more detectors. Analysis of the numbers of pulses having certain amplitudes corresponding to various energy levels of gamma rays can provide information about the presence of certain elements or isotopes. A graphic representation of the number of pulses occurring with respect to the energy level of the pulses typically displays localized maxima, called �peaks� at several energy levels within the energy range of the scintillation detector, which typically is some portion of the range of 0.1 to 10 million electron volts (MeV), depending on the crystal type and the elements intended to be resolved. The peaks also have a range of energy levels characteristic to the isotope.
The amplitudes of the voltage pulses are typically analyzed by using a device called a spectral analyzer. The spectral analyzer comprises a pulse height quantizer for measuring the amplitude of each voltage pulse from the photomultiplier, and a storage device for counting the number of voltage pulses of each magnitude determined by the quantizer. Based on the amplitude measurement made by the quantizer, a quantization value called a channel number is assigned to each measured pulse. Each pulse leaving the quantizer increments a particular storage buffer in the storage device corresponding to the channel number determined for each pulse by the quantizer. At the end of any measurement period, the number of events counted in each buffer is used for analysis.
These spectra have to be calibrated so that a specific channel represents a certain energy range. This has traditionally been done by using various peak finding routines to locate spectral peaks and then using a least squares fit to determine the gain and offset needed to map these peaks into the desired energies. One difficulty with this technique is that the peak finding routines can confuse statistical variation with spectral peaks. Channel-to-channel filtering of the data is often required to prevent this problem. Unfortunately there can be a loss of resolution in the spectra when this is done.
The present invention addresses the problems inherent in the use of peak-finding techniques for channel calibration.
One embodiment of the invention is a method of evaluating an earth formation. A logging tool is conveyed into a borehole in the earth formation. Radiation indicative of a property of the formation is detected. The detected radiation is analyzed to provide a spectrum thereof. The spectrum is adjusted to increase a measure of similarity to a reference spectrum. The radiation may be gamma rays or neutrons. The radiation may be the result of irradiating the formation with a source of radiation. The irradiation may result form a pulsed neutron source or a chemical gamma ray source. The determined property may be a porosity, density and/or elemental composition of the formation. The spectrum may be obtained by providing a count of the detected radiation in each of a plurality of channels. The measure of similarity may be a correlation coefficient. Adjustment of the spectrum may be done by applying a linear transformation to the spectrum that may include a relative gain and an alignment correction. The reference spectrum may be obtained from laboratory measurements.
Another embodiment of the invention is an apparatus for evaluating an earth formation. The apparatus includes a logging tool conveyed into a borehole in the earth formation and a radiation detector which produces an output indicative of the property of the earth formation. The apparatus also includes a processor which analyzes the output of the radiation detector to provide a spectrum thereof and adjusts the spectrum to increase a measure of similarity to a reference spectrum. The radiation detector may be a gamma ray detector and/or a neutron detector. The radiation may result for irradiation of the formation using a radiation source on the logging tool. The radiation source may be a pulsed neutron source or a chemical gamma ray source. The property determined by the processor may be a porosity, a density and/or an elemental composition. The processor may determine the spectrum by providing a count of the detected radiation in each of a plurality of channels. The measure of similarity may be a correlation coefficient. The adjustment of the spectrum by the processor may include a relative gain and/or an alignment correction. The reference spectrum may be stored on a memory associated with the processor. The processor may be at a downhole location, a surface location and/or a remote location. The apparatus may include a wireline, slickline and/or drilling tubular which conveys the logging tool into the borehole
Another embodiment of the invention is a machine readable medium for use with an apparatus for evaluating an earth formation. The apparatus includes a logging tool conveyed in a borehole in the earth formation and a radiation detector which produces an output indicative of a property of the earth formation. The medium includes instructions which enable a processor to analyze the output of the radiation detector to provide a spectrum, and to adjust the spectrum to increase a measure of similarity between the spectrum and a reference spectrum.

The file of this patent contains at least one drawing executed in color: Copies of this patent with color drawing(s) will be provided by the Patent and Trademark Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee. The present invention is best understood with reference to the accompanying figures in which like numerals refer to like elements and in which:
The method of the present invention is applicable to a wide variety of nuclear logging instruments. The system shown in
When a pulsed neutron source is used, the filament current and accelerator voltage are supplied to source 18 through power supply 15. Cable 20 suspends instrument 12 in well 10 and contains the required conductors for electrically connecting instrument 12 with the surface apparatus.
The outputs from XLS, LS and SS detectors 17, 14 and 16 are coupled to detector board 22, which amplifies these outputs and compares them to an adjustable discriminator level for passage to channel generator 26. Channel generator 26 is a component of multi-channel scale (MCS) section 24 which further includes spectrum accumulator 28 and central processor unit (CPU) 30. MCS section 24 accumulates spectral data in spectrum accumulator 28 by using a channel number generated by channel generator 26 and associated with a pulse as an address for a memory location. After all of the channels have had their data accumulated, CPU 30 reads the spectrum, or collection of data from all of the channels, and sends the data to modem 32 which is coupled to cable 20 for transmission of the data over a communication link to the surface apparatus. Channel generator 26 also generates synchronization signals which control the pulse frequency of source 18, and further functions of CPU 30 in communicating control commands which define certain operational parameters of instrument 12 including the discriminator levels of detector board 22, and the filament current and accelerator voltage supplied to source 18 by power supply 15.
The surface apparatus includes master controller 34 coupled to cable 20 for recovery of data from instrument 12 and for transmitting command signals to instrument 12. There is also associated with the surface apparatus depth controller 36 which provides signals to master controller 34 indicating the movement of instrument 12 within well 10. The system operator accesses the master controller 34 to allow the system operator to provide selected input for the logging operation to be performed by the system. Display unit 40 and mass storage unit 44 are also coupled to master controller 33. The primary purpose of display unit 40 is to provide visual indications of the generated logging data as well as systems operations data. Storage unit 44 is provided for storing logging data generated by the system as well as for retrieval of stored data and system operation programs. A satellite link may be provided to send data and or receive instructions from a remote location.
In a well logging operation such as is illustrated by
In addition, as would be known to those versed in the art, many of the functions of the components described with reference to
Two or more gamma-ray detectors are employed, in one or more modes of operation. Such modes include, but are not limited to, a pulsed neutron capture mode, a pulsed neutron spectrometry mode, a pulsed neutron holdup imager mode, and a neutron activation mode. In a pulsed neutron capture mode, for example, the tool pulses at 1 kHz, and records a complete time spectrum for each detector. An energy spectrum is also recorded for maintaining energy discrimination levels. Time spectra from short-spaced and long-spaced detectors can be processed individually to provide traditional thermal neutron capture cross section information, or the two spectra can be used together to automatically correct for borehole and diffusion effects and produce results substantially approximating intrinsic formation values.
In a pulsed neutron spectrometry mode, the instrument pulses at 10 kHz, for example, and records full inelastic and capture gamma ray energy spectra from each detector. These data are processed to determine critical elemental ratios including carbon/oxygen and calcium/silicon from the inelastic spectra and silicon/calcium from the capture spectra. A pulsed neutron holdup imager mode yields both energy spectra and time decay spectra from each detector simultaneously. Measurements can be used to determine holdups of gas, oil, and water. When combined with other production logs, the measurements made herein can provide a comprehensive production profile picture, even in deviated or horizontal wells. A neutron activation mode provides water-flow measurements using one of several data acquisition methods. Stationary measurements are made in either of two modes, and measurements at different logging speeds can be used to segregate different flow rates in either an annulus or in an adjacent tubing string. Various spectra of count rates from these can be used either individually or in combination as needed for each measurement mode.
Still referring to the pulsed neutron spectrometry mode, with the neutron generator turned off, the measurement apparatus can also be used to detect the distribution of materials, tagged with radioactive tracers, that are injected into the well during well treatments. In this manner, the effectiveness of operations such as hydraulic fracturing or gravel pack placement can be evaluated.
In one application of the present invention, a pulsed neutron generator with improved reliability and higher output is coupled with high-speed downhole microprocessor-controlled drivers and detector electronics. The system supports multiple frequency operation and different detection gate timings to make the different measurements. The modes of operation can be selected from the surface with no need to pull the tool out of the well.
After just a few μs, most of the neutrons are slowed by either inelastic or elastic scattering until they reach thermal energies, about 0.025 eV. This process is illustrated schematically in
Turning now to
The present invention does not require a peak detection routine. A vertically averaged spectrum from the logging tool is obtained 203. Ideally, the spectrum defined by the count within each of the channels for the standard and the averaged measurements should be the same. In prior art methods, peaks in the standard spectrum are compared with peaks in the measured spectrum and adjustments are made to the energy bands associated with particular channels on the field data to align them with peaks in the standard spectrum. Due to the fact that the field measurements are statistical in nature, the possibility of errors in the positions and magnitude of spectral peaks arises.
In the present invention, a relative gain M and alignment correction A between the standard spectrum and the vertically averaged spectrum are defined 205. A cross correlation between the standard spectrum and the averaged measurement with the relative gain and shift applied is determined 207. The correlation coefficient r is defined as:
These correlations are repeated for a range of values of M and A 211 and a search for a maximum of the correlation is made 209. Once the maximum has been found, this is then used to calibrate the measured spectrum. The use of the relative gain and an alignment correction is an example of a linear transformation of the spectrum. Other linear transformations may also be used.
The results of using the method on an exemplary set of data are shown in
Turning now to
After the data have been calibrated, they may be further analyzed to determine a property of the earth formation using prior art methods. Depending upon the particular measurements being made, the property could be density, porosity and/or an elemental composition of the earth formation. The measurements are of radiation such as gamma rays, neutrons and/or photons. The radiation could be natural radiation or radiation resulting from irradiation of the earth formation using a nuclear source such as a neutron source and/or a gamma ray source. While a wireline implemented example has been discussed above, the measurements could be made using a logging tool conveyed on a slickline, or a logging tool that is part of a bottomhole assembly conveyed on a drilling tubular.
The processing of the measurements made in wireline applications may be done by the surface processor 33, by a downhole processor, or at a remote location. The data acquisition may be controlled at least in part by the downhole electronics. Implicit in the control and processing of the data is the use of a computer program on a suitable machine readable medium that enables the processors to perform the control and processing. The machine readable medium may include ROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, Flash Memories and Optical disks.
While the foregoing disclosure is directed to the specific embodiments of the invention, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It is intended that all such variations within the scope and spirit of the appended claims be embraced by the foregoing disclosure.

Her mind is completely altered so she believes she has lived an entirely different life, one where she has grown to mistrust and loathe everything - including herself.
Pinkie Pie
The least changed of Twilight's friends, Pinkie alone retains her complete personality and memories from before Twilight's "research", her only mental alteration was having a bit more fear in her life. After Laughter is obtained, she is left without an ability to talk, or even breathe. Not that she needs to breathe afterward.

The formerly kind pegasus who eventually becomes rage-filled due to Twilight's procedures.
Twilight's Conscience
An apparent manifestation of Twilight's conscience, who attempts to convince the Villain Protagonist to see the error of her ways. She looks and sounds just like Twilight's ordinary appearance.

Last year, BMW first introduced the world to the BMW Concept X5 eDrive and now the "concept" vehicle is visiting the New York Autoshow. This is by far one of the more interesting prospects for BMW in the realm of electrified vehicles, especially from the POV of people who can't yet make the full leap to the BMWi vehicles.
The X5 is powered by a combination of a BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder combustion engine and a 95-horsepower electric motor. This results in an average MPG … CONTINUED
BMW is recalling a 156,137 vehicles, both luxury cars and SUVs, to make sure bolts holding a component in their six-cylinder engines can break loose and cause stalling or engine damage.
BMW says it has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that in rare cases, bolts holding the variable camshaft timing unit may come loose or break, causing the engine to go into a "safe mode." If the problem continues, it can lead to stalling, engine damage – and it may not start.

Justin Bell takes the BMW X5, the World's first SUV equipped with Night Vision Technology, for a drive through downtown Los Angeles. The catch – he's blindfolded.

You might be asking what it's good for, other than silently cruising the Whole Foods parking lot.

Young Scolla - Wonderful
Artist: Young Scolla
Producer: Tecknowledgy [of The Xtraordinary Gentlemen]
Album: The Hip Hop Docktrine 3: The Official Boondocks Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 19 votes )
Today hasn't exactly been eventful, as all I did was drink copious amounts of water to recover from my actions during a very happy birthday weekend (22…yeah, getting old). While I was guzzling down my two-liter Smart Water like I've been running through the Mojave for a week, I luckily discovered that Young Scolla's new track Wonderful and my H20 were equally refreshing. Off The Hip Hop Docktrine 3: The Unofficial Boondocks Mixtape, Scolla once again plays wordsmith quite well, touching on the importance of diligence and perseverance in the face of hardship: "But I still follow my dreams, when things ain't peaches and cream." While Scolla gets lyrical, producer Tecknowledgy (of the Xtraordinary Gentlemen) drops a light and head-nod inducing beat that moves the track along nicely. The Docktrine is out now, but if you want to catch even more from the recent In the Mix interviewee, be sure to keep it locked here for his DJBooth/RefinedHype-sponsored mixtape Potluck, set to be consumed sometime in June. Stay hydrated, kids.

NEC's end-to-end video surveillance solutions include best-in-class control room display solutions and video analytics software. For example, NEC's intelligent analytics software monitors video data to automatically identify suspicious behavior and events to help reduce the cost and increase the accuracy of monitoring by security personnel.
This is complemented by NEC's NeoFace Watch facial recognition system which matches security camera images in real-time against watch list databases of individuals suspected of presenting a criminal or public safety threat, missing persons or important guests. NEC was recently awarded the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Leadership for its facial recognition solution. NeoFace Reveal, which uses a variety of intelligence image processing algorithms to enhance poor quality facial images for forensic crime or analysis, will also be demonstrated.
The police and security services in over 20 countries now use NEC's NeoFace technology. NEC's technology not only provides a potent crime deterrent but also helps identify suspicious behavior in public areas such as central business districts, airports, shopping malls, schools and healthcare facilities.
Visitors to IFSEC will also be able to experience NEC Field Analyst which analyzes live video feeds and provides data about the age, gender and dwell-time of people within range of the camera. This can be used to drive real-time customer demographic profiling and highly targeted digital advertising in retail stores.
NEC will also demonstrate its contactless hybrid finger scanner that simultaneously assesses a person's fingerprint and finger vein to provide the highest possible level of recognition accuracy and prevent identity fraud. NEC's Auto Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is already used by law enforcement agencies in the United States, Australia and Brazil for voter registration in Bolivia and for citizen identification in South Africa, amongst others.
Eugene le Roux, President & MD of NEC Africa (Pty) Ltd said, "The growth in urbanisation and fears about crime and terrorism are driving significant demand for NEC's security solutions on a global basis. NEC offers an end-to-end solution with market leading hardware, analytics software and advanced network integration know-how. With our extensive experience in supporting government and enterprise security programmes in Africa and around the world, NEC is a partner you can rely on to help create a safer world."

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Utility crews at Andrews University spent the night working to restore regular power to campus, after a weekend power outage.
A problem at a campus power station in Berrien Springs caused power to be out at many buildings since Friday afternoon. The timing was especially bad as the university had to welcome students back in the midst of a power outage.
A generator was brought in to run the building that houses the campus cafeteria on Friday.
Freshmen students were already on campus for orientation, but upperclassmen wanting to move in were told they would have to wait until power was restored, due to the safety risk from the poor lighting.
On Saturday morning, the university brought in additional generators for the campus dorms.
Sunday university officials said the power station had now been repaired, so at 2 a.m. Monday, they started switching buildings from generator power, back to regular power.

REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 17, 2010 — Three years ago, the introduction of Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) changed the way people stay connected. An individual's identity and presence became the center of business communication, thanks to the integration of unified communications across e-mail, voice, instant messaging, audio- and videoconference tasks — and even desktop sharing. People could choose how to manage their conversations, redirect calls, set their level of availability, and decide how and when they could be reached.
In 2006, Bill Gates talked about the magic of software being poised to help people manage communications amid the rush of business life, often filled with an unrelenting combination of conference calls, e-mails, faxes, voice mail messages, business trips, in-person meetings and instant messages.
Microsoft knew the time had come for a communications platform that could help people navigate through all types of communication with colleagues, partners and customers — to get work done faster and with less frustration.
Office Communications Server has been one of the fastest growing solutions at Microsoft, experiencing double-digit growth over the past three years. Fortune 500 companies, top pharmaceutical firms, successful financial institutions and large communications providers have chosen Microsoft's unified communications platform to set their business up for success.
Cloud computing is to business what the pocket calculator was to education back in the 1980s. I've already told you how I was addicted to the Cloud , and your now probably hearing about it daily. So why should you be interested in this new buzz word. Well, there are a couple reasons your ears should perk up when you here news about The Cloud, especially when it involves the Microsoft products your company has become dependent upon over the years like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, or Microsoft Dynamics.
REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 13, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the release candidate of Microsoft Lync, the next generation of Microsoft's unified communications software that enables people to connect in new ways, anytime, anywhere. Lync is the new family brand for the products formerly known as Communications Server, Communications Online and Communicator, and it also now includes Lync Web App, and Lync Online. The release candidates of Lync 2010 and Lync Server 2010 are now available for businesses of all sizes to try for free. They can be downloaded athttp://technet.microsoft.com/evalcenter/ff808407.aspx. This broad release candidate is the last step toward release to manufacturing and general availability scheduled for later this year.
"Over the past five years we have been on a journey to transform communications with the power of software," said Gurdeep Singh Pall, corporate vice president of Unified Communications at Microsoft. "Lync delivers on this vision by unifying enterprise voice, instant messaging and web-, audio- and videoconferencing into a new, connected communications experience."
Microsoft Lync can make every engagement a virtual face-to-face meeting, because any interaction can include video and audio conferencing, application and desktop sharing, instant messaging, and telephony. Lync has been designed from the ground up to work with Microsoft Office, SharePoint and Exchange, which helps reduce end-user adoption hurdles and increase return on investment. People can also stay connected to others on a wide range of devices while away from the office and manage their communications and calls in new ways, such as easily moving a call from a PC to a mobile device while leaving the office without disrupting the conversation.
More than 120 enterprise customers and partners are enrolled in the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Lync, testing early releases and providing feedback, and over 400 unified communications partners are involved in readiness activities, preparing for general availability of the software later this year.
In addition, today more than 30 partners announced beta versions of their Lync-compatible hardware, software and service products. Hardware products include a variety of Internet protocol phones and USB endpoints optimized for Lync. Software solutions include contact centers, call recording, accounting and new applications that incorporate communications right within business processes. Routing services work with Lync to allow companies to meet United States E-911 requirements for all U.S.-based workers, regardless of location.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fun with our future leaders
FUTURE LEADERS BASH -- Nothing stodgy about this awards evening. Talk about a room full of young Manitoba talent -- 500 movers and shakers gathered on Thursday, Jan. 23 at the Fort Garry Hotel for the Future Leaders of Manitoba (FLM) awards evening. Popular DJ Mama Cutsworth entertained and the noisy crowd of VIPs from Winnipeg's business community noshed on gourmet food stations, with wine pairings. Ace Burpee of Hot 103 MC'd, and a Jumbotron showed a continual run of the nine finalists, event sponsors, funny and congratulatory tweets, many from the floor. Later, as the festivities wore down, the Jumbotron popped up with the NHL game between the Jets and Sharks. Chairs and sofas were scattered about, with lots of networking going on all night long. Organizer Gloria Blacklaw couldn't have been happier. "The atmosphere was so vibrant!"
Future Leaders of Manitoba's three winners? Cameron Krisko, founder of Making Waves Winnipeg, a non-profit providing one-on-one teaching to children with disabilities; Lindsey Mazur, a dietician with the Women's Health Clinic and the provincial Eating Disorder Prevention and Recovery Program; and John Gunter president and CEO of Frontiers North Adventures, which provides northern adventures such as polar bear tours. Winners received an award and a painting from Graffiti Gallery, done at the event by Nereo Eugenio Jr. Engaging speaker Kevin Chief, provincial minister of children and youth opportunities (and a former FLM winner) talked about the young movers and shakers and their passion to make a mark in the world.
"It was a younger crowd this year -- our sixth year -- so many bright, ambitious people in the room," said Jordan Farber, Qualico's manager of banking, who created the annual event six years ago with Lesley Hamilton of Hamilton Bergen Private Wealth Management, Andrew Kirk of Polar Bear Rubber, and Jen Kennedy of Wi-Band. "We saw a lot of younger people moving on to what they thought would be greener pastures and wanted to honour those who stayed here or who had returned," added Farber.
Spotted: Honorary chairwoman Stephanie Forsyth, who also addressed the crowd; Jodi Moskal, chairwoman of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce; former honorary chairmen of FLM Bob Silver, co-owner of the Winnipeg Free Press, Western Glove Works, Warehouse One and other businesses, and Jim Carr, president of the Manitoba Business Council,

DATES WITH THE STARS! -- The Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba (LDAM) warmed up the galaxy with a matching of sponsor tables to Winnipeg stars for dinners at stellar restaurants all over the city. After a cocktail party with drinks and substantial appetizers at the Fort Garry Hotel, sponsor groups found out which stars would head up their tables and trooped off to find their restaurants awaiting them. In most cases, they could order anything off the menu!
Entertainers Fred Penner and Joey Landreth of The Bros. Landreth headed up the Winnipeg Free Press table at the Garry Street Keg. When everyone was full, Penner crowned the evening by teaching the table how to do magic tricks with napkins and spoons that dance in the air. This year's stars included magician Brian Glow, Free Press humour columnist Doug Speirs, Glenn January and Doug Brown of Blue Bomber fame, burlesque queen Miss Robin Red Breast, singers Renée Lamoureux and Sheena Grobb, and artist Jordan Van Sewell. Media stars also headed up tables, such as Breakfast TV's Drew Kozub and Jenna Khan, FAB 94.3's Kelly Parker, Shaw TV's Tracy Koga and 99.9 BOB FM's Beau and Sabrina Carnivale.
Happy-hour MC was CJOB's height-challenged Dahlia Kurtz, who warmly introduced LDAM executive director Marilyn MacKinnon and association president Dr. Norm Goldberg. "He used to be my pediatrician," she beamed, noting she's not much taller now. Comedian Big Daddy Tazz warmed up the crowd just before everyone hiked off into the frozen tundra to their restaurants.
