ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed herein in a method for determining the lithology of and the types of fluid contained within a subterranean formation. In the prac- tice of this invention, high energy neutrons bombard the formation matrix and formation fluids. Induced gamma rays from inelastic scattering reactions are indicative of the type of fluid in the formation, and induced gamma rays from neutron capture reactions are indicative of the lithology of the formation matrix. Among other things, this technique permits differentia- tion between water-saturated limestones and oil-bearing sandstones. Also disclosed herein is a method for detecting the presence of natural gas within a subterranean formation.
