Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are provided to determine an accurate neutron-gamma density (NGD) measurement for a broad range of formations, including low-hydrogen-index or low-porosity formations and formations with heavy elements. For example, such an NGD measurement may be obtained by emitting neutrons into a formation such that some of the neutrons inelastically scatter off elements of the formation and generate inelastic gamma rays. The neutrons and inelastic gamma rays that return to the downhole tool may be detected. Some characteristics of certain formations are believed to affect the fast neutron transport of the formations. Thus, if a formation has one or more of such characteristics, a correction may be applied to the count rate of neutrons, the count rate of inelastic gamma rays, or the neutron transport correction function, upon which the neutron-gamma density (NGD) may be determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to Neutron-gamma density (NGD) logging, and more specifically, to techniques for obtaining accurate NGD measurements in certain formations. Background technique [0002] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of technology, which may be related to aspects of the present disclosure, which are described and / or claimed below. It is believed that this discussion is useful to provide the reader with background information that may be helpful in better understanding various aspects of this disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in light of these, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] Formation density is a measurement often obtained in well logging. One way to determine the density of a formation may be referred to as gamma densitometry, which involves detecting the extent to which gamma rays are scattered by the formation. Routinely...
