Oil & Gas Solutions
Scintillators play a critical role in oil and gas well logging by enabling the detection of gamma rays and neutrons used to determine formation properties such as porosity, lithology, and fluid content. Scintacor specialises in lithium‑6 glass scintillators, where robustness, neutron sensitivity, and gamma discrimination are essential in harsh downhole environments. Our GS20® lithium glass scintillators have been widely adopted in Logging While Drilling (LWD), Measurement While Drilling (MWD), and wireline tools, due to their ability to withstand high temperature, pressure, and vibration while delivering reliable neutron detection.
Oil Well Logging
GS20® glass has been adopted as the technology of choice by top tier oilfield service companies for downhole neutron-porosity logging tools, due to its ability to withstand high temperature and high shock environments.
X-ray NDT
Scintacor’s Flexible Scintillation Screens deliver high-quality x-ray imaging for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) on complex surfaces including pipelines, welds, and other cylindrical structures.
Neutron Backscatter Imaging
Scintacor makes Lithium-6 scintillators for neutron detection, converting neutrons into light for accurate measurement in tough industrial environments.
R&D Inspection Development
Scintacor supports research and development programmes focused on advancing inspection and measurement technologies for oil and gas applications.
Neutron scintillator screens are currently being used in research and development to enable spatially resolved neutron measurements that support oil and gas inspection technologies. By exploiting the strong interaction between neutrons and hydrogen, neutron screens allow visualisation of water, hydrocarbons, corrosion products, and deposits inside metal components – capabilities that are not accessible using x-ray methods.
