    摘要: Casing condition is an important concern to oilfield operators. Systems and methods are disclosed herein for using neutron logging tools to measure casing condition, using windows in the gamma energy spectrum that are sensitive and insensitive to casing condition to obtain a ratio having a value that ranges between one extreme representative of completely absent casing and an opposite extreme representative of casing in good condition. The sensitive (“divergence”) window may be positioned at or near 7.65 MeV, the characteristic energy of gamma rays from a neutron capture event by an iron nucleus. The insensitive (“consistency”) window is preferably adjacent to the divergence window with a comparable size to the divergence window. A suitable division point between the windows may be about 6.25 MeV.
