Schlumberger

The neutron-density-sonic crossplot charts (Charts CP-1, CP-2


and CP-7) provide insight into lithology and permit the determination of porosity. Chart selection depends on the anticipated
mineralogy. Neutron-density can be used to differentiate between
the common reservoir rocks [quartz sandstone, calcite (limestone) and dolomite] and shale and some evaporites.

Sonic-neutron can be used to differentiate between the common


reservoir rocks when clay content is negligible. Sonic-density
can be used to differentiate between a single known reservoir
rock and shale and to identify evaporate minerals.
