Abstract
A nuclear logging tool has a housing, one or more neutron sources, one or more shields, and two or more detectors disposed about the housing. Each of the one or more neutron sources is configured to generate neutrons in pulses or continuously and each of the two or more detectors is operable to detect neutrons and gamma rays. The two or more detectors include a first detector disposed at a first distance from a first neutron source and a second detector disposed at a second distance from the first neutron source. The first distance is shorter than the second distance. The first distance and the second distance is measured in the longitudinal direction of the housing. Each shield is operable to absorb neutrons and gamma rays and is disposed inside the housing between one of the one or more neutron source and one of the one or more detectors.
