Natural Spectral Gamma Ray

QL40 SGR


The QL40-SGR probe measures the total gamma counts in API as well as the full energy spectrum of the natural gamma radiations emitted naturally from within the formations.

A Full Spectrum Analysis (FSA)1 is performed on the recorded energy spectra. The FSA derives in real time the concentration of the three main radioisotopes 40K, 212 Th and 238U and thus provides insight into the mineral composition of the formations. The QL40 SGR is equipped with a scintillation  BGO (Bismuth Germanium Oxyde) crystal. The BGO crystal has a high scintillation efficiency, good energy resolution and is mechanically strong.

The QL40-SGR is supplied as an inline sub. It can be combined with other logging tools of the QL40 (Quick Link) product line or can be operated as a standalone tool. It is compatible with Matrix, Scout and ALTlogger acquisition systems.
