About Lithology Interpretation

• Claystone - has large amount of water, and radioactive materials, is denser when it has
less water, is not harder than limestone and is very conductive.

• Sandstone- is less dense than limestone, has less water than clay, contain more water
than limestone except when it is saturated with dry gas, its conductivity is depending on
fluid type it contains, has small to none radioactive fragments.

• Limestone - is harder than both clay and sand, contains least water of the three, very
resistive, it has low radioactivity materials, fast velocity, high density.

• Coal - Normaly low radioactive, rarely radioactive, lowest density and very resistive

About Fluid Interpretation

• High Radioactivity - High GR


• Very Conductive - Low Resistivity
• High Water - High Neutron and Low Resistivity
• High Gas - Low Neutron and High Resistivity
• High Oil - Higher Neutron than Gas, denser
than gas Less Neutron than water,
less dense than water, more
resistive than water, less-
resistive than gas when other
properties are the same
• Dry Gas - Very resistive, largest density
neutron crossover
• High GOR - Larger density-neutron crossover
than oil with low GOR
• Fresh Water - Reservoir filled with high resistive water
