Using Gamma-Ray Spectrometry with a Germanium Detector for Exploratory Oil and Ore Geology

Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Measurements of gamma spectra allow the ratios of A (U)/A (Th) activity, the masses of U and Th, and mass ratio of U : Th to be determined for studying rocks and oils. Results demonstrate the effect hydrotherms have on rocks of basic and acidic composition. The values of indicators are determined to detect the presence of tuffs in rocks and pathways of oil migration.
