Systems and methods for determining relative geochemical data

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving measurement data that was measured by a downhole logging tool, wherein the measurement data represents relative yields of a plurality of chemical elements in a rock formation;
• determining first absolute yields of at least a portion of the plurality of chemical elements in a first chemical compound in the rock formation;
• determining second absolute yields of at least a portion of the plurality of chemical elements in a second chemical compound in the rock formation;
• determining, using a processor, a volume of the first chemical compound, a volume of the second chemical compound, and a sum of yields of the plurality of chemical elements using the first and second absolute yields and the relative yields, wherein determining the sum of yields of the plurality of chemical elements further comprises:
• determining a denominator based on the relative yield of a first chemical element in the plurality of chemical elements;
• determining a numerator based on a product of the absolute yield of the first chemical element in the first chemical compound and the volume of the first chemical compound;
• and
• determining the sum of yields based on the numerator divided by the denominator;
• and
• producing a geochemical log model that displays the volume of the first chemical compound, the volume of the second chemical compound, and the sum of the yields of the plurality of chemical elements.
