Abstract
An x-ray based cased wellbore simultaneous tubing and casing measurement tool includes at least an x-ray source; a radiation shield to define the output from of the produced x-rays; a two-dimensional per-pixel collimated imaging detector array; a secondary two-dimensional per-pixel collimated imaging detector array; a plurality of parallel hole collimators formatted such in one direction so as to form a pinhole in another direction; sonde-dependent electronics; and a plurality of tool logic electronics and PSUs. A method of using an x-ray based cased wellbore simultaneous tubing and casing measurement tool includes at least producing x-rays in a shaped output; measuring the intensity of backscatter x-rays returning from materials surrounding the wellbore; determining the inner and outer diameters of tubing and casing from the backscatter x-rays; and converting image data from detectors into consolidated images of the tubing and casing.
