    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for logging a wellbore and determining a presence or absence of a hydrocarbon bearing formation are disclosed. A sonde includes a t least two gamma radiation detectors that are utilized for chlorine logging and lifetime logging in combination. Additionally, two detectors of the sonde are spaced axially from each other at different distances from the source to enable determination and compensation for various other parameters such as porosity and water flow velocity. Appropriate gating of the detectors enables sensing total counts of radiation emitted fr om adjacent formations and sensing of specific energy ranges of radiation when the formation is bombarded with energy. Signals from the lifetime logging enable adjustment o f the chlorine logging for a borehole effect and background radiation. The detecto rs can include a sheath of a high capture cross-section material that interacts wit h neutrons to produce gamma radiation to shield the detectors.

    Abstract: A well logging tool (10) has a neutron source (16) for irradiating formation surrounding a borehole. Two detectors (20,22) are mounted in a spaced-apart vertical relationship within the tool pressure-resistant housing (12). Each detector detects capture gamma radiation across the entire gamma ray energy spectrum, windows are set in this spectrum to separate two distinct energy ranges, thereby generating a total of four independent sets of signals, two for each detector. One set of signals is indicative of the hydrogen content and insensitive to the chlorine content of the irradiated formation. The second set of signals is indicative of the hydrogen plus the chlorine conten t of the irradiated formation. By comparing the sets of signals in two proportional energy ranges, the logging tool allows to generate a log that helps determine the presence or absence of hydrocarbon or salt water in the formation.

    Abstract: En brønnloggingssonde (10) har en nøytronkilde (16) for bestråling av formasjoner som omgir et borehull. To detektorer (20, 22) er montert i atskilt, vertikalt forhold inne i det trykkbestandige sondehuset (12). Hver detektor detekterer innfangnings-gammastråling over hele gammastrålings-energispekteret, hvor det er fastsatt vinduer i dette spekteret for å separere to distinkte energiområder for å derved genererer totalt fire uavhengige sett med signaler, to for hver detektor. Ett sett med signaler indikerer hydrogeninnholdet og er ufølsomt for klorinnholdet i den bestrålte formasjon. Det annet sett med signaler indikerer hydrogeninnholdet pluss klorinnholdet i den bestrålte formasjon. Ved å sammenligne signalsettene ved to proporsjonale energiområder, gjør loggesonden det mulig å generere en logg som bidrar til å bestemme forekomsten eller fraværet av hydrokarboner eller saltvann i formasjonen.
