Abstract In performing gas-prospecting work by means of neutron and density logging in strata with complicated lithology, one often meets with the trouble of multiple solutions caused by the disturbance of complicated lithology if the difference in neutron and density porosities is used alone to indicate gas zones. The logging gas-prospecting model, the calibration formula, the lower limit value of the gas zone and the criteria for verifying gas zones established in this paper have renewed the neutron and density logging gas-prospecting method and can repress the disturbance resulting from complex lithology, thus eliminating the possibility of multiple solutions. Case studies of logging gas-prospecting given in this paper demonstrate that the renewed method can indicate low porosity gas zones in strata with complicated lithology and improve the resolution, direct perceivability and piecision of this method, thus yielding better gas-prospecting results.
