    摘要: A method for determining porosity or other formation characteristic of a sub-surface geological formation traversed by a borehole is claimed. A neutron logging tool is passed through the borehole while irradiating the formation with neutrons. The neutron logging tool includes a neutron source and first and second detectors spaced from the source by different distances. Neutrons exiting the formation are detected with the neutron detectors and count rate signals are generated. In response to these signals, an indication of porosity, substantially independent of error due to tool standoff from said borehole wall, is produced. In addition, values of tool standoff are also generated. These standoff values are then filtered by a filter to reduce statistical variations and are used to generate improved indications of porosity.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for quantitatively determining the macroscopic thermal neutron absorption cross-section of a geological formation traversed by a borehole is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of irradiating the formation with neutrons from a continuous source in a neutron sonde and detecting through the use of dual epithermal and thermal detectors the resultant flux of both thermal and epithermal neutrons. Representative signals are then combined in a manner which best takes advantage of the physics of the interaction of neutrons with matter to produce a representation of the macroscopic thermal neutron absorption cross-section. Thus, a signal representing the ratio of the counts is derived from each like pair of detectors. The logarithms of the signals are then taken and combined in a linear combination.

    摘要: A method that is usable with an NMR measurement apparatus includes averaging first spin echo trains acquired from different regions of a sample to form a second spin echo train. The first spin echo trains are used to produce a first estimate of a property of the sample, and the first estimate has a first resolution and a first accuracy. The second spin echo train is used to produce a second estimate of the property, and the second estimate has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution and a second accuracy that is higher than the first accuracy. The first and second estimates are combined to produce a third estimate of the property. The third estimate has a third resolution near the first resolution of the first estimate and a third accuracy near the second accuracy of the second estimate.
