Abstract
A well logging system and method involves the use of a well logging tool in a borehole traversing an earth formation which includes a pulsed neutron generator periodically bombarding the earth formation with neutrons. A scintillation-type detector detects gamma radiation from the earth formation and provides electrical data pulses corresponding in pulse height and frequency to the detected gamma radiation. Another circuit provides synchronization/stabilization pulses which are time related to the neutron bombardments of the formation. A cable conducts the data pulses and the synchronization/stabilization pulses uphole to surface electronics. A receiver with surface electronics processes the pulses and provides them to a gate circuit which passes or blocks the data pulses and the synchronization/stabilization pulses in accordance with a gate signal. The passed pulses are provided to a pulse height analyzer. The synchronization/stabilization pulses are also provided by the receiver to a gate signal network which provides the gate signal in accordance with the synchronization/stabilization pulses.
