Abstract

Provided are embodiments of systems, computer medium and computer-implemented methods for logging using a customizable logging tool. In some embodiments, the logging tool is capable of being disposed in a borehole formed in a geologic formation. The logging tool includes a source for emitting signals into the geologic formation surrounding the borehole and a plurality of detectors for detecting signals generated as a result of emission of signals by the source into the geologic formation surrounding the borehole. The plurality of detectors are independently repositionable such that a source-to-detector spacing for the detectors is independently variable, to provide optimum signal depending on the characteristics of the target reservoir, the borehole, and the tool source and detectors.
