Improving Wellbore Stability by Leveraging Real-Time Spectral Gamma Ray Logs
Ammar Qatari
Abstract:The objective of this paper is to examine the quantification effect of clay content on wellbore stability. Clay Content is known to have direct impact on hydrocarbon petrophysical modeling. The major factor to quantify clay content is to acquire spectral gamma ray logs. Utility of standalone gamma ray readings provides only qualitative clay content model in a form of clean and clay filled fashion rather than a quantified clay content. Assessing spectral gamma ray logs in real-time can be a potential factor con… Show more
