A distance of a water flow path and a velocity of the water flow is calculated using pulsed neutron data and noise data. The two distance and velocity values are compared with each other to obtain a first calculated distance and a first calculated velocity. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using Doppler data. The distance and velocity values are compared with the first calculated distance and first calculated velocity to obtain a second calculated distance and velocity values. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using temperature data. The distance and velocity values are compared with the second calculated distance and velocity to determine a distance of a cement interface and a velocity of a water flow in the cement interface.

In a downhole environment, utilizing one or more ICE modules, in response to detecting light by one or more channels of a light to voltage converter, the detected light is converted into one or more voltages. The light has previously interacted with a downhole substance and has been processed by an integrated computational element. The one or more voltages are converted into one or more analog frequencies. The one or more analog frequencies are converted into one or more digital frequencies. One or more intensities are determined from one or more digital frequencies. One or more components of the substance are determined in response to the determined one or more intensities.

A device, system, and method for locating collars along a casing string. The device includes a casing collar locator (CCL) and a valve in communication with the CCL connected to a work string. Fluid is pumped down the work string as the device is used to locate collars along a string. Upon detection of a collar, the CCL sends a signal to the valve, which causes the actuation of the valve to decreases a flow area within a work string. The decrease in flow area causes a pressure increase within the work string, which may be detected at the surface to indicate the detection of a collar. The device may include an amplifier and power source to amplify the signal from the CCL to the valve. The CCL may detect collars by a change in magnetic flux or by the detection of a signal emitted by individual collars.

A radiation generator may include an elongate generator housing having a proximal end and a distal end, a target electrode within the elongate generator housing at the distal end thereof, a charged particle source within the elongate generator housing at the proximal end thereof to direct charged particles at the target electrode. A plurality of accelerator electrodes may be spaced apart within the elongate generator housing between the target electrode and the charged particle source to define a charged particle accelerator section. Each accelerator electrode may include an annular portion having a first opening therein, and a frustoconical portion having a base coupled to the first opening of the annular portion and having a second opening so that charged particles from the charged particle source pass through the first and second openings to reach the target electrode.

Systems, devices, and methods for tracking the efficiency of a drilling rig are provided. A sensor system on a drilling rig is provided. A controller in communication with the sensor system may be operable to generate measurable parameters relating to at least one Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The measurable parameters may be compared with measurable parameters from a target to generate an Invisible Lost Time (ILT) period and an Invisible Saved Time (IST) period for the drilling rig. The KPIs, ILT period, and IST period may be displayed to a user.

A method for determining a tubing deviation from nuclear measurement data includes acquiring neutron measurement data from a wellbore. The method also includes identifying one or more features from the neutron measurement data. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on a pattern matching algorithm, that the one or more features are indicative of a tubular deviation. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on a comparison between the one or more features, a deviation amount.

A method and system for estimating density of material surrounding a borehole in mineral exploration, the method including inserting a tool into a drilling rod located within a borehole, the tool having a gamma radiation source and at least one sensor; raising the tool within the drilling rod; receiving gamma count readings at the at least one sensor; sending the gamma count readings to a computing device; and removing effects of the drilling rod from the gamma count readings at the computing device to calculate a density of material surrounding the borehole.
