Abstract

Determining a value indicative of hydrogen index. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including obtaining an inelastic count rate and a capture count rate of a first gamma detector for a particular borehole depth, obtaining an inelastic count rate and a capture count rate of a second gamma detector for the particular borehole depth, calculating a ratio of an inelastic count rate to a capture count rate for the first gamma detector, thereby creating a first value, calculating a ratio of an inelastic count rate to a capture count rate for the second gamma detector, thereby creating a second value, calculating a ratio of the first and second values, and determining a value indicative of hydrogen index based on the ratio of the first and second values.
