In a method of logging a geological formation, a neutron generator is pulsed to generate a series of neutron bursts that irradiate the formation. Mutually spaced radiation detectors are operated without counting or detecting individual pulses stimulated by a burst from the neutron generator. The detectors are located to detect neutrons that have traversed the formation and to generate respective current outputs indicative of the neutron detection at the respective detectors. The current outputs of the detectors are integrated to generate respective analog waveforms characteristic of the count rates at the detectors. Each of the analog waveforms is converted to digital form, and the respective digital waveforms are compared to establish a ratio of radiation detector count rates corresponding to the outputs of the respective radiation detectors. From the resulting ratio, a compensated measure of the neutron-based porosity of the formation is established. |
