Abstract

A method for estimating an aspect of a formation using a nuclear spectroscopy tool includes placing a nuclear spectroscopy tool into a borehole and emitting neutrons such that some of the neutrons generate gamma rays from a formation adjacent the nuclear spectroscopy tool and some of the neutrons generate gamma rays from elements within the nuclear spectroscopy tool. An energy spectrum of gamma rays induced by the emitted neutrons can be detected. The energy spectrum includes a background having a plurality of measured spectral components. A background ratio between at least one spectral component of the background and another measured spectral component can be determined or estimated in accordance with environmental measurements. The detected gamma ray spectra can be analyzed using a combination of standard spectra and subtracting at least one spectral component of the background in accordance with the background ratio.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 489,287, filed May 24, 2011, entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CORRECTIONS IN NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPY USING VARIABLE ELEMENT RATIO," the entire contents of which Incorporated herein by way of incorporation by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates broadly to nuclear spectroscopy, and more particularly to systems and methods for estimating and accounting for environmental effects on nuclear spectroscopy results. Background technique [0004] When drilling through rock formations or other formations in order to obtain oil, gas, or other materials, it is beneficial to determine or estimate the type of formation being drilled through. For example, information about formation type can be used to more accurately interpret other well log measurements to estimate formation porosity, water saturation, net hydrocarbon content...
