Are better scintillation materials needed to solve today’s directional drilling challenges?
As the industry tackles more challenging drilling applications, is this the time that new scintillation materials and their performance advantages break through and challenge Sodium Iodide’s (NaI) market dominance?
The gamma detection market has evolved considerably over the last decade with the introduction of several new scintillation materials that offer significant performance advantages for end users. However, NaI crystals continue to dominate the directional drilling space.
Join Product Line Leader Eric Rothe and Lead Scientist Kevin McKinny as they discuss new scintillation materials being developed at Reuter-Stokes and the benefits of these materials for directional drilling applications.
How Reuter-Stokes’ engineers work to solve the industry’s challenges of:
- Light loss at elevated temperature
- Mediocre spectral resolution
- Response time too slow for pulsed neutron gamma activation techniques
