SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRAVITY MEASUREMENT IN A SUBTERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A technique facilitates the collection of improved gravitational acceleration measurements and enables use of those measurements in analyzing environmental characteristics of a subterranean region. In one embodiment, a downhole tool is constructed with a gravimeter having a quantum source (50) and an associated detector (52). The quantum source and detector use a velocity (V f ) of the quantum source for determining gravitational acceleration measurements (g ) that can be employed in evaluating subterranean characteristics.
