The spectra so generated may be analyzed and processed to derive parameters indicative of formation and borehole conditions for, example, a parameter sensitivity to borehole geometry and a parameter sensitive to porosity. Certain parameters may be compared as an indication of the presence of gas in a fluid filled …
