RADIOACTIVITY LOG

GEOLOGICAL LOG

Radioactivity Increases

Gamma Ray Neutron

Shales record to the right on GR, to the

left on NEUTRON curves
GR curve normally moves to the left on
sands. NEUTRON curve indicates
decreasing amount of fluid in ss in
proportion to movement to right from
shale value.

ELECTRICAL LOG

FW

SP

RT
SN

Shale

Shales record as low

values on all electric
log curves

Fresh Water Sand

Fresh water sands

frequently show low
SP and high RES.
Values

Shale

GR curve moves to the left. NEUTRON

curve indicates dense portions as large
deflections to the right, porous portion as
deflection toward shale value.

Limestone

Limestones record
HIGH SP and HIGH
RES. Values. The
difference between
dense and porous
limestones is not
generally indicated on
Elogs.

Shale
GR moves to the left.

Gas Sand

Neutron curve suggest gas/fluid contact

by moving forward shale line.

Water Sand

Materials such as Volcanic ash or black

marine shales may have very high
radioactivity and produce large
deflections to the right on the GR curve
(RED color in column)
GR moves to the left in sands. Neutron
curves suggest decreassing amount of
fluid in sand in proportion to movement to
right from shale value.

Shale

Oil Sand

Gas sands show HIGH

RES and LOW SP
Salt water sands are
characterized by LOW
values of the DEEP
RES. (RT)[BLUE color
on the graph]

Oil sands are

characterized by HIGH
values on all curves,
generally.

Shale

Same as Oil Sand

GR reveals interbedded structure, but

moves toward sand (left) side of log
GR curve deflects to the left. N to right
indicating dense formation

SW

Salt Water Sand

Sandy Shale
Anhydrite
Shale

Salt water sands show

HIGH values on all
curves EXCEPT RT
curve (dotted line)
SP and SN show
interbedded structure.
Dense formation have
high resistivity and low
SP's.
