OSTI ID:4340113
An illustrative embodiment of the invention compensates neutron measurements of the porosity of an earth formation for sudden changes in borehole diameter. Typically, a sidewall porosity logging tool for transport through a borehole is equipped with two neutron detectors spaced at different distances from the neutron source. In order to improve the vertical resolution of the tool, a circuit stores the signal from the longspaced detector until the shorter spaced detector has traversed a distance along the borehole wall that is equal to the separation between the two detectors. This memory feature adjusts the porosity signals to a common zone of observation. These apparent porosity signals then are combined with borehole caliper signals to compensate for the effect of changes in borehole diameter. (Official Gazette)
