Methods and systems are provided for optimizing well-logging using an optimized wait time determined by analysis nuclear magnetic resonance data to achieve faster and better quality borehole evaluation. The method comprises performing a nuclear magnetic resonance pre-log testing; identifying a wait time for a portion of a signal from the pre-log testing with a long T1 and T2, value at each depth of the pre-log testing, wherein T1 is defined as a longitudinal relaxation time and T2 is a transverse relaxation time ascertained from the nuclear magnetic resonance prelog testing; and constructing a logging program with a logging program wait time being consistent with the wait time identified.

Intelligent data acquisition for wireline logging

Systems and method presented herein enable the estimation of porosity using neutron-induced gamma ray spectroscopy. For example, the systems and methods presented herein include receiving, via a control and data acquisition system, data relating to energy spectra of gamma rays captured by one or more gamma ray detectors of a neutron-induced gamma ray spectroscopy logging tool. The method also includes deriving, via the control and data acquisition system, one or more spectral yields relating to one or more elemental components from the data relating to the energy spectra of the gamma rays. The method further includes estimating, via the control and data acquisition system, a measurement of porosity based on the one or more spectral yields relating to the one or more elemental components.
