NATURAL GAMMA-RAY LOGGING

Specialty Definition: NATURAL GAMMA-RAY LOGGING

DomainDefinition

Mining

A process whereby gamma rays naturally emitted by formations traversed by a borehole are measured. A tool containing a radiation detector is lowered into the borehole and gamma ray measurements are transmitted to the Earth's surface. The signals are utilized to produce a record of gamma rays detected in correlation with the depth of the detector in the borehole. The record thus obtained in the form of a curve indicating relative number per unit of time of natural gamma rays at different depths, is a conventional natural gamma-ray log, sometimes simply called agamma-ray log.
