Gamma Ray Log Correction Guide

This document provides guidance on applying environmental corrections to gamma ray, density, neutron, and resistivity logs. It discusses checking that borehole corrections were applied and selecting parameters for mud type, weight, tool position, and diameter. For gamma ray logs from the early 1980s without a tool string sketch, it recommends choosing "eccentered". The document also gives standard offsets for tools in a combo string and notes density tools have caliper arms to contact the borehole wall.

Environmental Correction

1. Gamma Ray

Input wireline log: GR and CAL


Correction Parameter:

Check list Borehole correct to ensure the following corrections were


applied
Tool Position: usually using eccentered but check before in well
report
Mud Type: select non barite if the well using non barite mud
Hole Type: select open hole
Mud weight: allows the user to input the weight of mud that was
used about 9 lbs/gal
Tool Diameter: The Outside Diameter of the Gamma Ray tool is required to
make hole size and mud weight corrections on the GR log. In addition to the
OD of the GR tool, you will also need to have a caliper log to make proper
hole size correction for the GR log. The OD of 3.625 inches is for the older
generation Schlumberger GR logging tool. They also have a GR tool with OD

of 3.375 inches. If you don't know the exact OD of the GR tool for your GR
log, you can still use the default OD of 3.625 in the Interactive Petrophysics
software. Since the GR log is usually used for shale volume calculation, it
should be alright, as long as you put in the correct bit size, mud weight and a
caliper log.
Standoff (inc): Usually, for vertical wells the logging tools are run using
standard standoffs and eccentralizers etc. The Induction Resistivity Tool is
usually run with a 1.5" rubber standard off. The neutron tool is run
eccentered with a bow spring, since it needs to be pushed against the
borehole wall. The density tool has a caliper arm which pushes the density
detector pad against the borehole wall. In the standard tool string the
Gamma Ray is eccentered because of the above tools which are run in
combination. The GR is seldom run centralized for the standard supercombo
or triple combo logs.
If your logs were recorded during the early 1980's, you may not have a tool
string sketch on the log. Therefore, you will not know if the GR is run
centralized or eccentered. I would use the option of "eccentered" for the GR
log. However, in the modern day logs which are recorded using computers,
the sketch of the tool string will be shown on the log insert.

2. Density

Input wireline log: RHOB, PEF (optional) and CAL


Correction Parameter:

Check list Borehole correct to ensure the following corrections were


applied
Mud weight: allows the user to input the weight of mud that was
used about 9 lbs/gal
Density Tool (FDC/LDT): allows the environmental corrections for the
correct tool that recorded the data to be applied

3. Neutron

4. Dual Laterolog/Micro Resistivity
