ABSTRACT:
A method for analyzing formations using measurements from a detector in response to energy imparted therein. The measurements have characteristics which exponentially reduce in magnitude with time. The method includes (a) determining, an N-th order integral of the value of each measurement from an initial time to the time of each measurement, wherein N represents a number of exponentially decaying characteristics; b) determining a solution to a system of linear equations relating the measurements to the integrals, the solution representing polynomials of order N related to a decay rate and an initial measurement amplitude for each component; (c) solving the polynomials to determine the decay rate and the initial amplitude for each component; (d) determining if the decay rates and initial amplitudes are within possible limits; and (e) incrementing N and repeating (a) through (d) until the decay rates or the initial amplitudes are not within possible limits.
