Summary: | Systems and methods employed measure borehole density by neutron induced gammas using a pulsed neutron tool. Traditional nuclear density methods only measure a bulk average density of the surrounding material. As discussed below, methods to measure only the borehole density excluding the contamination from the formation are disclosed. Specifically, the proposed methods use unique signatures from each geometric region to directly measure the borehole density or compensate for the contamination from formation. This method may be achieved by a borehole density measurement using differential attenuation of capture gamma from casing iron, a borehole density measurement using differential attenuation of inelastic gamma from oxygen, a differential attenuation of any induced gamma from any element from borehole and formation, or any combination thereof. |
