9500680 Bayless This Small Business Innovative Research Phase II project provides the opportunity to eliminate the radioactive material currently used in Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) density logging tools. The existing tools, which provide critical information for most formation evaluations, pose risks to the environment and to the personnel that operate and transport them. The overall objective of the project is to perform the research required to develop a novel electrical x-ray instrument for the measurement of bulk formation density and lithology (composition) in MWD applications. The specific technical objectives of the project are: (1) to modify the Phase I device to experimentally demonstrate reliable electron beam operation at high energies; (2) to improve the basic geometry of the x-ray density/lithology logging tool in order to maximize its performance; (3) to design and construct a high energy laboratory prototype x-ray logging tool; (4) to measure the performance characteristics of the laboratory prototype x-ray system; and (5) to experimentally evaluate the high energy MWD x-ray tool in simulated formations. Sperry-Sun Drilling Services, a leader in the MWD field and a Phase I contributor, will participate under Objectives 2, 3 and 5. If successful, this project will provide a new type of MWD density/lithology logging tool with performance parameters comparable to, or exceeding, those of radioactive tools. However, it will eliminate the risks associated with the radioactive material in existing tools. ***

9500680贝莱斯这个小企业创新研究第二阶段项目提供了消除目前用于随钻测量(MWD)密度测井仪的放射性材料的机会。现有工具为大多数地层评估提供了关键信息，对环境以及操作和运输这些工具的人员构成了风险。该项目的总体目标是进行所需的研究，以开发一种新型的电子X射线仪器，用于测量随钻测量应用中的整体地层密度和岩性(成分)。该项目的具体技术目标是：(1)改造第一阶段装置，以实验证明在高能下可靠的电子束操作；(2)改进X射线密度/岩性测井仪的基本几何结构，以最大限度地提高其性能；(3)设计和建造高能实验室X射线测井仪原型；(4)测量实验室原型X射线系统的性能特征；以及(5)在模拟地层中对高能随钻测量X射线测井仪进行实验评估。Sperry-Sun钻井服务公司是MWD领域的领先者，也是第一阶段的贡献者，该公司将参与目标2、3和5。如果成功，该项目将提供一种新型的MWD密度/岩性测井仪，其性能参数可与放射性仪器的性能参数相媲美或超过。然而，它将消除与现有工具中的放射性材料相关的风险。***
