SP Log Interpretation
Logs: Gamma Ray The SGR (Sum GR) records the total gamma ray count from all sources, while the CGR (Computed GR) results from the subtraction of the uranium contribution from the SGR . Because the CGR is the summation of thorium and potassium sources, this curve is an improved log to estimate clay content, free of perturbations by uranium
