    What Does the Gamma Ray

    Tool Detect? Natural Gamma Rays

    Energetic form of electromagneticradiation produced by radioactivedecay**Wikipedia

    What ProducesGamma Rays?

    Most common sources: Potassium

    Thorium Uranium - Radium

    Where Are TheseElements Found?

    In zones containing potassiumfeldspars (i.e. granites, feldspathicsands)

    Volcanic and igneous rocks Sands containing volcanic ash

    Clays

    The Gamma Logging Tool:What Does It Do?

    Detector is a thallium-doped sodium-iodide crystal Crystal emits light when it absorbs a

    Gamma Ray Light emissions are counted and

    ultimately displayed as counts persecond (CPS) vs. depth on a graph This graph is then referred to as a

    Gamma Ray Log

    Applications of Combining GammaRay Logs and Boring Logs

    Zone identification Zone correlation Zone content Seal identification Boring log interpretation Potential transport zone identification Potential source zone identification

    Assumptions: Unconsolidated formation (can split-spoon)

    Sand and clay sequence Have field screening values Have cut-off values (OVM value between

    source and non-source interval) Contaminants are volatile organics

    Only natural radioactive sources are present Bentonite has a high K content Other exceptions

    Non-Source Zones When dealing with risk

    assessments, non-source zones

    are: High CPS zones with high OVM values

    Zones with low OVM values

    Semi-Quantitative Analysis forCombined Gamma Ray and

    Boring Logs

    1. Identify bentonite seal

    2. Identify the range without thebentontite seal

    3. Identify potential transport intervals

    4. Identify potential source intervals

    Conclusions: Combining GammaRay and Boring Log Data

    Allows mapping of potentialcontaminant zones Allows mapping of potential transport

    zones Identifies contaminant source zones for

    maps and cross-sections Leads to 3-D delineation models

    idenitifying the area of concern
