ABSTRAK
Log gamma ray adalah alat logging yang merekam tingkat radioaktif dari suatu batuan atau formasi
yang diukur dalam satuan $3, unit $meriFan 3etroleum ,nstitute $lat log ini umumnya berfungsi
untuk menentukan lapisan permeabel dan non-permeabel. Hal ini didasarkan atas fakta bahwa umumnya
lapisan non-permeabel Fenderung memiliki tingkat radioakti¿tas yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan lapisan
permeabel kecuali pada kasus batupasir felspatik. Selain itu, fungsi lain dari alat logging ini adalah
menentukan jenis mineral menggunakan data perbandingan antara Thorium dan Potassium. Percobaan
ini menggunakan alat Spectral *amma 5ay S*5 yang ada di Laboratorium routine core Lemigas.
Kualitas data hasil pengukuran log gamma ray sangat dipengaruhi oleh kecepatan dari conveyor belt.
Berdasarkan hasil percobaan, kecepatan pengukuran sebesar 30 m/jam adalah kecepatan yang optimum
untuk mendapatkan kualitas data yang baik dan e¿siensi waktu dengan jumlah data  titik/meter. Hasil
pengukuran SGR menghasilkan pembacaan kandungan Uranium, Thorium, dan Potassium. Kandungan
Thorium Th dan potassium K dibandingkan dan dilakukan crossplot pada gra¿k 4uirein, dimana gra¿k
tersebut dimodi¿kasi kembali oleh Schlumberger pada tahun . 'engan menggunakan crossplot ini
mampu mengidenti¿kasi kehadiran mineral &hlorite, 0ontmorillonite, Kaolinite, ,llite, 0i[ed layer clay,
)eldspar, 0ica, Glauconite, dll. Pada studi kasus yang dilakukan pada beberapa sumur $, $, $3, $,
$, $ dan $ menunjukkan bahwa hasil crossplot ini memiliki kesesuaian terhadap hasil pengukuran
menggunakan XRD.
Kata Kunci: log gamma ray, spectral gamma ray, kecepatan, identi¿kasi mineral.
