Downhole Tools Having Combined D-D and D-T Neutron Generators

摘要

A nuclear tool includes a tool housing; a d-D neutron generator disposed in the tool housing; a d-T neutron generator disposed in the tool housing; and, optionally, a control circuit for controlling pulsing of the d-D neutron generator and the d-T neutron generator. A method for well-logging using a nuclear tool includes disposing the nuclear tool in a wellbore penetrating a formation; pulsing a d-D neutron generator to emit neutrons at a first energy level into the formation; pulsing a d-T neutron generator to emit neutrons at a second energy level into the formation; and measuring signals returning from the formation.
