Abstract

Various embodiments include apparatus and methods to conduct neutron-neutron measurements and to evaluate quality of cement between a casing and a formation. A tool can include a neutron source, a far detector, and a near detector, where the far detector and the near detector detect neutrons in response to activation of the neutron source. Measured counts of the detected neutrons can be compared with respect to expected counts of neutrons. From one or more comparisons, the quality of the cement can be evaluated. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
