INP neutron logging tool while drilling

INP emits fast neutrons to formation using the neutron source installed on the instrument, and the instrument detector measures the amount of the thermal neutrons reaching the detector after the formation’s absorption and attenuation, and then the hydrogen index and porosity of the formation can be calculated. The instrument uses Am-241/Be neutron source and HE3 tubes detector. Ultrasonic transducer is installed for clearance detection and compensation calculation.
