Abstract: Formation porosity is measured using a logging tool that has a pulsed neutron generator and multiple dual-function detectors that detect both neutrons and gamma rays. Ratios of thermal neutrons, epithermal neutrons, and capture gamma rays from multiple detectors are utilized to obtain multiple neutron porosities and multiple gamma-ray porosities within different depth of investigations. The neutron porosity and the gamma-ray porosity may be further corrected by excluding peak areas attributable to hydrogen and/or chlorine to reduce the shale effect and/or the chlorine effect. The neutron porosity and the gamma-ray porosity may be combined to provide improved porosity evaluations within different depth of investigations into the formation in the entire porosity measurement range (0-100 p.u.).
