Well Logging: Gamma Ray Log 2

 By E Kofi Sakyiamah | Reference(s): Harvest Chemical

Well Logging: Gamma Ray Log 2: The Gamma Ray Spectral Log measures the concentration of the three radioactive elements, potassium, thorium, and uranium that make up nearly the total gamma radiation encountered in rock formations. In the right hand tracks, the thorium and uranium concentrations are presented in packs per minute and the potassium concentration in percent. In the left hand track, the total gamma ray activity is displayed scaled in API units.

Ratios of the three elemental concentrations can be used as an indicator of formation properties. The thorium uranium ratio for example, varies with the environment of deposition. It is highest for sediments deposited in continental oxidizing environments and lowest for marine reducing environments. High uranium potassium ratios and shale indicate potential source rock.

The thorium potassium ratio has proved useful in typing clays. The ratio increases from glauconite then to illite to mixed layer clays to kaolinite chloride.
