NEUTRON LOG
Neutron logs are porosity logs that measure the hy
drogen ion concentration ( ) in a format

NEUTRON LOG (CONT.)
Neutrons are created from a chemical source in th

NEUTRON LOG (CONT.)
Neutron log response vary, depending on (1) dif
ferences in detector types, (2) spacing between sou
rce and detector, and (3) lithology i.e. sandstone,
limestone, and dolomite.
by borehole irregularities.
NEUTRON LOG (CONT.)
Both the Sidewall and Compensated Neutron logs
can be recorded in apparent limestone, sandstone,
or dolomite porosity units.

NEUTRON POROSITY FOR SHALY SANDS
After the volume of shale (Vsh) is determined, it can b
e used to correct the porosity log for shale effect. The
formula for correcting the density log for volume of sh

The Combination Neutron-Density Log is a combin

GAS EFFECT
Gas effect is created by gas in the pores. Gas in the por
es causes the density log to record too high a porosity
(i.e. gas is lighter than oil or water), and causes the neu
tron log to record too low a porosity (i.e. gas has a lowe
r concentration of hydrogen atoms than oil or water).
