Method for determining fluid saturation characteristics of subsurface formations
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6887690
Thermal neutron capture logs obtained during a log-inject-log operation and utilized in the determination of the water saturation condition of a formation traversed by a borehole are corrected for neutron diffusion and borehole effects by a normalization factor relating the apparent and measured macroscopic absorption cross sections of the rock matrix in the formation.
