Gamma Ray Log
Gamma Ray Log
The gamma ray measurement device accepts gamma rays from almost a
hemisphere that includes the formation and the drilling mud between the
formation and the sensor. Gamma rays may therefore come from the
formation at any angle from horizontal to almost vertically, and indeed may
come from the drilling mud itself (beware: some drilling muds are very
radioactive!).
The gamma ray log is combinable with all tools, and is almost always used as
part of every logging combination run because of its ability to match the
depths of data from each run
