Abstract
Estimating a correction factor from logs of compensated thermal neutron porosity measurements, including modeling each measurement of the compensated thermal neutron porosity measurements of the log as resulting from at least: i) a first contribution correlated to an absorbance of a first portion of neutrons produced by irradiation of the volume attributable to interactions in the volume indicative of pore space in the matrix, and ii) a second contribution correlated to an absorbance of a second portion of the neutrons attributable to trace elements of at least one dominant neutron absorber in the formation; iii) a third contribution correlated to an absorbance of a third portion of the neutrons attributable to dry minerals in the matrix other than dominant neutron absorbers; and estimating the second contribution and determining the correction factor from the second contribution; and correcting a compensated thermal neutron porosity measurement using the correction factor.
