Application of Density and PEF
PEF (Photo Electric Factor) is an indicator of lithology.
Density can also be used to calculate a Porosity.
Schlumberger-Private
Based on the assumption
b = . f + (1- ) ma
Knowing ma and f
= (ma - b )/ (ma - f )

Neutron Porosity Measurement Principle
The source emits neutrons.
These neutrons interact with the Far Detector
formation. Thermal Neutrons
Schlumberger-Private
The returning neutrons are
counted at the detectors. Near Detector
Detector count rate gives an
idea of Neutron Porosity.
Fast neutrons

Schlumberger-Private
Application of Neutron Porosity Measurements
The amount of returning neutrons is largely dependent on hydrogen present in the
mud and in the formation.
Schlumberger-Private
Hydrogen only occurs in the fluid in the pore spaces and in the drilling mud, not in
the rock matrix.
If we can accurately measure the hydrogen in the formation then we have a
measurement of porosity.

Application of the US Measurement
The US measurement is used to compute hole size.
This is used in wellbore stability, completions and drilling optimization and safety.
