Integrated pulsed neutron logging tool for spectroscopy and porosity measurements

Abstract

A system and a method for a pulsed neutron logging tool. The pulsed neutron logging tool may include a pulsed neutron generator for generating one or more neutrons, one or more gamma ray scintillator detectors disposed in a detection area, a shielding block that separates the pulsed neutron generator from the one or more gamma ray scintillator detectors, and a shielding layer. The pulsed neutron logging tool may further comprise an information handling system communicatively connected at least in part to the pulsed neutron logging tool. The information handling system is configured to create a gamma ray spectrum from the one or more gamma rays detected by the one or more gamma ray scintillator detectors, remove a background from the gamma ray spectrum to form a peaks-only spectrum, and compare one or more peaks-only elemental standards to the peaks-only spectrum to determine an elemental weight and yield.
