Abstract
A photon radiation detection systems utilizes scintillating fibers to detect downhole radioactivity along a wellbore. The system includes a light detection unit, extended light guide, and a scintillating fiber radiation detector extending along a wellbore. The scintillating fiber radiation detector may be a permanent part of the wellbore completion, or may be deployed via a downhole conveyance. The detected light photons may be utilized to evaluate the formation, cement layer or tubular string.
