Abstract

Statistical variations in simultaneous shallow and deep investigation nuclear borehole logs are reduced using digital moving average data processing while maintaining responsiveness to formation changes, by transitioning through a combination of long and short filtered data as a function of the statistical variation of the deep log data differences of the long and short derived averages. Borehole rugosity is also indicated as a function of the difference between the shallow and the deep log indexes of the differences between their respective narrow and wide derived averages.
