Abstract
A method for measuring an oil saturation value of a subterrain formation uses a tool having multiple dual-function detectors that detect neutrons and gamma rays. The method includes emitting neutrons into the formation, detecting neutrons and gamma ray signals form the formation using the detectors, determining formation parameters including the formation type and formation porosity, and further determining parameters such as C/O ratios at each of the detectors, a total neutron count rate at each of detectors, a fast neutron count rate at each of detectors, and a thermal neutron count rate at each of the three or more detector, and calculating the oil saturation value using the determined parameters.
