SNPcor, apparent limestone neutron porosity (p.u.)

APScor, apparent limestone neutron porosity (p.u.)

When the APS or SNP log is recorded in limestone porosity

units, this chart is used to find porosity in sandstones or dolomites. First, correct the SNP log for mudcake thickness (Chart
Por-15a).
This chart can also be used to find apparent limestone
porosity (needed for entering the various CP crossplot charts) if
the APS or SNP recording is in sandstone or dolomite porosity
units.

Example: Sandstone bed

SNP = 13 p.u. (apparent limestone porosity)
Bit size = 7 7 8 in.
SNP caliper = 7 5 8 in.
giving
hmc = 14 in.
SNP = 11.3 p.u. (corrected for mudcake)
and
SNP (sandstone) = 14.5 p.u.
