A special radioactivity log that has been developed for open-hole surveying that responds principally to variations in the specific gravity of the formations. It is a contact log (i.e., the instrument is held against the wall of the hole). The logging tool emits neutrons and then measures the secondary gamma radiation that is scattered back to the detector in the instrument. 2, record 3, English, - density%20log
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The density log is recognized as an excellent porosity-measuring device, particularly for shaly sands. It is also called Gamma-Gamma Density Log, Formation Density Log, or Densilog, all of which are trade names. 2, record 3, English, - density%20log
