Effect of Time Constant
and Logging Speed
on bed resolution
GR Log
The faster the logging speed, the less time the tool can sufficiently react and
properly count the radiation intensity.
Two effects:
1.
The tool response is shifted in the direction the tool is moving. This
lag or critical thickness (hc) is given by hc = n tc; where n is logging
speed (ft/sec) and tc is the time constant (sec).
2.
The log cannot properly respond when h < hc
GR Log
The time constant and logging speed are regulated so that the GR log
is representative of the formation radioactivity.
1. By experience, hc = 1 ft., avoids excessive distortion of the GR
curve.
2. Common combinations are:
n (ft/hr)
3,600
1,800
1,200
900

Borehole effects
Examples:
(1). A GR-CNL-LDT combination is run eccentered. What is the
corrected response if the log response is 40 API units in a 9 hole
with 8.3 ppg mud? ...16 hole ...?
(2). A GR - BHC combination is run centered. What is the corrected
response if the log response is 40 API units in a 9 hole with 16 ppg
mud? ....16 hole....?

Vsh estimation
Vsh is the bulk volume of shale (precisely the volume of silt, dry
clay, and bound water) to bulk volume.
Calculate shale index, IRA , by
RA RA min
I RA
RA sh RA min
where
RAmin is clean zone reading
RAsh is shale zone (max) reading
RA is reading in zone of interest
GR correlations based on:
shale distribution type
age of shale (tertiary or older)
local area
Disadvantage: Contamination from non-shale radioactive sources.
