Popis: This review of density logging is primarily a compilation of information presented in the petroleum industry literature. It includes a brief discussion of some of the theory involved in gamma‐ray density logging, various calibration curves, comparisons of density‐log and core data, and comments on density‐log interpretation. Conclusions are that the density log, under good borehole conditions, provides an accurate means for measuring bulk density of the formation adjacent to the borehole. If grain density is known, valid estimates of porosity can also be made. Because of the response characteristics of the system, accuracy in determining porosity is best when formation densities are low and porosities are high.
