Spectralog A New Way To Find Oil

Presenters

John M. Collins, Dresser Industries, Inc.

The Spectralog is a tool that measures radioactive formations. In the past, all radioactive kicks on a conventional gamma ray have been considered shale. With this new tool, we are able to determine that these radioactive kicks are not all truly shale but formations that are oil or gas bearing in certain areas. We are able to find additional hydrocarbons that conventional logs have missed. This paper will show many examples in which this has happened.
