Introduction
Shale is usually more radioactive than sand or carbonate, gamma ray log can be used to calculate volume of shale in porous reservoirs. The volume of shale expressed as a decimal fraction or percentage is called Vshale. Calculation of the gamma ray index is the first step needed to determine the volume of shale from gamma ray log. All of the prs files are available in the LogMath section of the Hampson-Russell Knowledgebase for copying and pasting into the LogMath window.
