Porosity Logs: Density, Neutron & Sonic

Inside this lesson
  • Derive density porosity $\phi_D$ from bulk density and matrix density
  • Explain why the neutron log reads hydrogen index and goes low in gas
  • Compute sonic porosity $\phi_S$ from the Wyllie time-average
  • Recognise density-neutron gas crossover as a gas indicator
