KuTh Tool

KuTh tools supply information about the mineralogy of formations. The most frequent sources of natural radiation in the formations are thorium, uranium and potassium; the gamma rays generated by different elements or elementary interactions have different energy levels. The spectral gamma ray kut tool can identify the source of a particular gamma ray by measuring their amplitude or energy level. This way the tool can identify the amount of potassium, thorium, and uranium present in the shales and sands.

APPLICATION

• detailed stratigraphic correlation
• marker bed identification
• location of radioactive tracers
• identification of fractures and zones of high permeability
• identification of depositional environments
