Crossplots for Porosity, Lithology and Saturation

Mineral Identification from Litho-Density* Log

and NGS* Natural Gamma Ray Spectrometry Log

Chart CP-18 provides clay mineralogy information using NGS Example: Th NGScor = 10.6 ppm
Natural Gamma Ray Spectrometry and Litho-Density measure- UNGScor = 4.5 ppm
ments. Because the porosity and the composition of many clay
K NGScor = 3.9%
minerals may vary, the minerals plot on these crossplots not as
unique points but as general areas. Pe = 3.2
After environmental correction, the appropriate parameters giving Th/K = 10.6/3.9 = 2.7
are plotted to provide qualitative information about the
mineralogy. Plotting these parameters on Chart CP-18 suggests that the
clay mineral is illite.
