The method includes emitting neutrons into the formation, detecting neutron and gamma ray signals from the formation and discriminating the neutron signal and the gamma ray signal, obtaining the space, time and energy dependent fluence rates for fast neutrons and thermal neutrons, obtaining gamma ray energy spectra from initial inelastic gamma rays and backscattered inelastic gamma rays from one or more detectors. The formation density can be calculated based on one or more ratios between the gamma ray count rates at the one or more detectors to the gamma ray count rate at the near detector.

Abstract: A connector comprises an insulation housing, a shielding shell, an inner sheath, and an outer sheath. The shielding shell is sheathed on the insulation housing. The inner sheath is formed on the shielding shell by injection molding. The inner sheath includes a front end wrapped on the shielding shell and a retaining portion formed on the front end of the inner sheath and spaced from the shielding shell to form a gap therebetween. The outer sheath is formed on the shielding shell and the inner sheath by injection molding. The outer sheath includes an engaging portion embedded in the gap between the retaining portion and the shielding shell. The retaining portion holds the engaging portion on the shielding shell to prevent the formation of a gap between the front end of the outer sheath and the shielding shell.

Each of the one or more neutron sources is configured to generate neutrons in pulses or continuously and each of the two or more detectors is operable to detect neutrons and gamma rays. The two or more detectors include a first detector disposed at a first distance from a first neutron source and a second detector disposed at a second distance from the first neutron source. The first distance is shorter than the second distance. The first distance and the second distance is measured in the longitudinal direction of the housing. Each shield is operable to absorb neutrons and gamma rays and is disposed inside the housing between one of the one or more neutron source and one of the one or more detectors.

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.).
