Feasibility of the Monte Carlo modelling for the neutron-neutron logging tool response in specific geological models
Journal Title: Geology, Geophysics & Environment - Year 2016, Vol 42, Issue 3
Abstract
The neutron well logging is one of the basic methods for determinations of characteristic parameters of the rock samples. The neutron source and neutron detectors are elements of NNTE logging tool of significant importance. A neutron source creates the neutron field in the nearest environment. Detectors placed at specified distances from the source register neutrons from this space. A signal of NNTE density tool in specific geological conditions was numerically calculated by means of the Monte Carlo (MC) codes. The main aim of this paper is to show the potential of using the MCNP software in nuclear well logging prospection methods. Results of this MC modelling are presented in this paper.

Paleogene of the Magura Nappe adjacent to the Pieniny Klippen Belt between Szczawnica and Krościenko (Outer Carpathians, Poland)
The present authors investigated the Paleogene deposits of the internal zone of the Magura Basin known as the Krynica Subunit or Krynica zone in Poland. These deposits crop out in the peri-Pieniny zone, in the area betwe...
Statistical analysis of the Late Miocene sequences on the southeastern Danube Basin margin based on borehole data
The strata of lacustrine, deltaic and alluvial sequences of the southeastern Danube Basin (SE DB) deposited during the Pannonian were reached by numerous boreholes. Even though the large amount of available data there ar...
Characterisation of used traction sand for utilization aspects in earth construction based on the requirements of Finnish environmental legislation
Finland launched a new Government Decree, the so-called MARA-regulation, on the utilization of certain wastes in earth construction on 1.1.2018. This statutory regulation sets limit values for the solubility of heavy met...
Paramagnetic properties of Cuban red mud at low temperatures
The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of Cuban red mud have been measured at three different temperatures: 295 K, 150 K and 77 K. The broad absorption line with resonance fields ∼(1.7–1.8) kOe was observed at all tem...
