ABSTRACT:
A tool for formation logging includes a support configured for movement in a borehole; a neutron source disposed on the support; a neutron monitor disposed on the support and configured to monitor an output of the neutron source; a gamma-ray detector disposed on the support and spaced apart from the neutron source; and a shielding material disposed between the gamma-ray detector and the neutron source.
