Abstract
A method for estimating a parameter of interest of an earth formation having a fluid contained in pores of the earth formation, the method includes: conveying a carrier through a borehole penetrating the earth formation; irradiating the earth formation with neutrons from a neutron source disposed at the carrier; measuring radiation emitted from the earth formation resulting from the irradiating using at least one detector; calculating or determining a mathematical parameter from radiation measured by the at least one detector; predicting values of the mathematical parameter over a range of values of an earth formation property; and comparing the mathematical parameter to the predicted values to estimate the parameter of interest.
