LDI Density logging tool while drilling

LDI sends gamma rays to the formation through the 137Cs gamma ray source installed on the instrument, the instrument detector measures the amount of the gamma-ray photon reaching the instrument after formation attenuation, and calculates to obtain the formation density and photoelectric index(Pe). The instrument adopts Cs-137 gamma ray source and NaI detector, and is equipped with 16-sector azimuthal measurement imaging technology, and is installed with ultrasonic transducer for acoustic standoff detection and compensation.
