SNPcor, neutron porosity index (p.u.) (apparent limestone porosity)

Schlumberger

To use any of these charts, enter the abscissa and ordinate

with the required neutron, density or sonic value. The point
of intersection defines the lithology (mineralogy) and the
porosity, .

4-2

Note that all neutron input is in apparent limestone porosity,

that charts for fresh water (f = 1.0 g/cm3) and saline water
(f = 1.1 g/cm3) invasion exist, and that the sonic charts contain
curves assuming weighted average response (blue) and empirical
observation response (red).
