Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for estimating parameters of interest of a volume in an earth formation from a response spectrum representing radiation information obtained by a radiation detector in a borehole intersecting the volume responsive to nuclear phenomena in the volume, the response spectrum including spectral distortion resulting i) environmental conditions in the formation, or ii) deterioration of at least one component of the radiation detector. Methods include recovering an enhanced response spectrum estimating the true spectrum, comprising mitigating the spectral distortion by applying at least one contrast sharpening mask to the response spectrum. The at least one contrast sharpening mask may comprise at least a low pass smoothing mask subtracted from a unity mask which when applied to the response spectrum obtains high-frequency data and adds the high-frequency data to the response spectrum. The response spectrum may be a gamma ray spectrum.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15  wherein the further operations comprise at least one of: i) geosteering; ii) drilling at least one borehole in the formation; iii) performing measurements on the formation; iv) estimating at least one parameter of interest of the formation; v) installing equipment in a borehole in the formation; vi) evaluating the formation; vii) optimizing development in the formation; viii) optimizing development in a formation related to the formation; ix) optimizing exploration in the formation; x) optimizing exploration in a formation related to the formation; xi) producing at least one hydrocarbon from the formation.
