Good News! Beijing Hamamatsu Won Science and Technology Progress Award Again

Beijing Hamamatsu Photon Techniques INC. (BHP) actively responds to the country's call to "Focus on promoting the solution of the 'strangle' technical problem", and jointly completed the project "Development and Application of Integrated Deep Well, High Temperature Gamma Detector" with China Petroleum logging Co., Ltd. (CPL). This project won the third prize of the "Science and Technology Progress Award" issued by the People’s Government of Shaanxi Province (Fig. 1).

The successful development of the deep well high temperature gamma integrated detector breaks the long-term reliance on the imported core components of logging instruments. After onsite operation verification, it can solve practical application problems, and the product's reliability and measurement accuracy have been appraised by users. The performance of the detector have reached the international advanced level, which has established a solid foundation for improving the R&D and manufacturing level of gamma logging while drilling instruments in China.

Brief Introduction of BHP High Temperature Integrated Detector

As one of the core components of nuclear logging (Fig. 2), the high-temperature integrated detector is installed closely to the drill bit. The working temperature is high (up to more than 175°C), and environmental vibration and shock are strong when the product works. The application environment is extremely harsh. And extremely high requirements are asked for the product.

After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, relying on independent research and development, BHP has broken through the technical difficulties of high temperature resistance, strong vibration resistance, and long-term stable operation under high temperature. The product series has covered natural gamma ray counting logging, density logging, natural gamma spectrum logging and stratum element logging and other application fields (Fig. 3 and Table 1).

BHP can provide diversified solutions for high temperature integrated detectors according to customers’ requirements. In order to continuously promote the development of petroleum logging industry of China, Beijing Hamamatsu is developing integrated detector working at 200°C in order to further improve the technology.Note: [1] Quoted from the appraisal opinions of the project "Development and Application of Deep Well High Temperature Gamma Integrated Detector".
