ABSTRACT:
A method for downhole spectroscopy processing is described. The method includes: obtaining raw spectroscopy data using a downhole tool; processing the raw spectroscopy data using the downhole tool to obtain a downhole processed solution; transmitting the downhole processed solution to a surface processing system; and using the surface processing system to determine lithology information from the downhole processed solution. A downhole tool for processing raw spectroscopy data is also described. The tool includes: a neutron source; at least one detector for detecting the raw spectroscopy data; processing means for processing the raw spectroscopy data to produce a downhole processed solution; and means for transmitting the downhole processed solution to a surface location.
