Abstract
A method for estimating at least one geological constituent may include obtaining a measured energy spectrum for the at least one geological constituent for a first borehole configuration, generating a calculated energy spectrum for the at least one geological constituent for the first borehole configuration, and generating a calculated energy spectrum for the at least one geological constituent for a second borehole configuration different than the first borehole configuration. The method may further include determining a relationship between the calculated energy spectra for the first and second borehole configurations, and generating an estimated energy spectrum for the at least one geological constituent for the second borehole configuration based upon the measured energy spectrum and the relationship between the calculated energy spectra for the first and second borehole configurations.
