A gas detection method includes carrying out respective neutron and density logs, using neutron and density detectors, along a length of well. The density log is corrected for the dimensions and properties of the well casing. The corrected density log is then combined with the neutron log to compensate for regions of artificially high density outside the casing. The compensated density log is continuously calibrated against the neutron log. The dynamically calibrated density and neutron logs are inspected for crossovers that signify the presence of gas in a formation.

Method and apparatuses for logging hydrocarbon reservoirs

A well logging device of compact reduced diameter compared to the prior art, such well logging device having both short spaced and long spaced types of gamma ray crystal detectors installed in a measurements skid that comprises a relatively small diameter device constructed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, this device comprising a continuous stainless steel tube which provides pressure resistance and also allows low energy gamma ray transparency via large and small windows. This elongate type of stainless steel skid tube is furthermore internally supported by an internal tungsten tube placed therewithin, while the skid design also includes means for pressing the skid tube against a borehole wall so as to obtain more accurate formation density measurements downhole.
