Neutron logs are used principally to delineate porous formations and determine their porosity by measuring hydrogen content. In clean formations filled with water or oil, neutron logs reflect liquid-filled porosity. However, gas in formations or boreholes can interfere with neutron measurements and be identified by comparing neutron logs to other porosity logs. Neutron logs can also be used for lithology identification when combined with sonic and density logs, indicating gas, and determining clay content.

Uses and Logs

NEUTRON LOGGING APPLICATIONS

Neutron logs are used principally for delineation of porous formations and
determination of their porosity. They respond primarily to the amount of
hydrogen in the formation. Thus, in clean formations whose pores are filed with
water or oil, the neutron log reflects the amount of liquid-filled porosity.

The major limitations is Gas in the formation and/or borehole Gas zones can often
be identified by comparing the neutron log with another porosity log.

Named gas effect Other used :


Lithology identification (with Sonic and Density)
Gas indication (with Density)
Clay content, shaliness (with Density)
Correlation, especially in cased holes
Difference between (NPOR,TNPH, NPHI)
1. NPOR (Neutron Porosity):
- NPOR typically refers to the basic neutron porosity measurement, which involves recording the response of the
formation to neutron bombardment.
- It provides a measure of the hydrogen content in the formation, helping to estimate porosity.

2. TNPH (Total Neutron Porosity):


- TNPH is a term used to describe the combined measurement of all neutron interactions, including both
thermal and epithermal neutrons.
- It is a more comprehensive measurement compared to NPOR and is often used to improve the accuracy of
porosity determination.

3. NPHI (Neutron Porosity Index):


- NPHI is a derived porosity measurement that represents the neutron porosity as an index or ratio.
- It is calculated from the raw neutron porosity measurement to account for environmental factors and
variations in tool responses.
Interpreted data on Lotfy_ILX well
• Showing the integration between GR, Resistivity and the Neutron tools
(NPOR,TNPH, NPHI) and density tool
• The two zones showing low GR, high resistivity with +ve separation, and high
neutron readings as an indication for the porosity
• integrating these logs with the density for making cross plot for the lithology
identification and calculating the porosity for the two zones after the cutoff
interpretation for decision making.
