Determination of radioactive and phosphatic layers by measuring natural γ ray intensities in well logging in the South al-Babter Region in Syria, using numerical methods of analysis

Abstract EN

A new interpretation of the variation of natural gamma rays intensity in well logging, using numerical analysis has been proposed and applied successfully for the lithological description of boreholes.

This approach aims at accurately determining radioactive intensity levels of some lithological units, and their thicknesses.

A model with four main radioactive distributions types (K, H, A and Q), which was earlier suggested and applied in the prospecting region for phosphatic and radioactive deposits in the Syrian Pal-myrides, has been used in the present study of the south Al-Abter region boreholes.

Good correlation has been found between the resulting interpretations and the lithological descriptions of the studied boreholes.
