Downhole fluid typing with pulsed neutron logging. A method comprises obtaining at least one capture gamma count rate at a particular borehole depth, calculating a fluid type indicative response value for the borehole depth, and determining at least one fluid type based on the response value. A system comprises a downhole tool, including a neutron source, at least one gamma detector, and a processor coupled to a memory. The memory stores a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to obtain at least one capture gamma count rate for a particular borehole depth. The processor calculates a fluid type indicative response value for the borehole depth and determines at least one fluid type based on the response value.
