Universal neutron pulsing scheme for logging operations

A system comprising:

• a pulsed neutron logging tool comprising:
• a neutron tube disposed in a pulsed neutron generator;
• one or more gamma ray scintillator detectors;
• and
• one or more thermal neutron detectors;
• and
• an information handling system in communication with the pulsed neutron logging tool and configured to:
• select a pulsing scheme for downhole measurements using a pulsed neutron logging tool;
• select a neutron burst width for the pulsing scheme based at least in part on a neutron tube utilized by the pulsed neutron logging tool during the downhole measurements;
• select a carbon-oxygen ratio (CO) neutron burst train for the pulsing scheme to be utilized by the neutron tube;
• select a Sigma decay time for the pulsing scheme in which the neutron tube is off;
• form a universal pulsing scheme that comprises at least in part the neutron burst width, the CO neutron burst train, or the Sigma decay time;
• instruct the neutron tube to transmit one or more neutron based at least in part on the universal pulsing scheme;
• and
• instruct the one or more gamma ray scintillator detectors and the one or more thermal neutron detectors to take a plurality of measurements with the pulsed neutron logging tool using the universal pulsing scheme during the CO neutron burst train and the Sigma decay time simultaneously.
