Description

The capability of determining elemental concentrations through logging measurements has recently been established. Most of the elemental concentrations are determined by thermal neutron-induced gamma-ray measurements. Optimal use of these data requires a knowledge of the statistical uncertainty of each concentration. These uncertainties are presented and verified by comparing log-derived concentrations with laboratory-analyzed cores recovered from logged wells
