A method of determining formation density in a cased hole environment
using a logging tool having a gamma ray source, a long spacing detector,
and a short spacing detector that includes developing one or more cased
hole calibration relationships that utilize differences between scattered
gamma rays observed by short spacing detectors and scattered gamma rays
observed by long spacing detectors to determine corrected formation
density values, and using the cased hole calibration relationships and
scattered gamma ray measurements obtained by the long spacing detector
and the short spacing detector to determine the formation density. An
associated article of manufacture and computerized well logging system
are also described.
