Elemental Analysis via Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation for Diamond Drilling

This research details simulation studies and laboratory tests that were conducted to conceptually design aspects of a prompt gamma neutron activation (PGNA) logging while drilling (LWD) tool that would be able to identify elemental compositions of rocks. The proposed tool would pave the way for auto...
