Calibration
The tool measured density, b, has been
experimentally related to the electron density;
b = 1.0704 e - 0.1883
The tool needs to be calibrated in a known
condition.
This condition is fresh water and limestone,
densities, 1.00 and 2.71 respectively.
The bulk density versus the electron density
equation fits for all the common minerals with a
few exceptions:

Example:
The correct reading is at point A.
An increasing mud cake thickness moves
the point to B or C depending on whether
there is heavy material (barite) in the mud
or not.

Density Outputs
The outputs are:
RHOZ/RHOB (b), the corrected bulk density.
DRHO (), the correction that has been
applied to b (LDT only).
RHOZ/RHOB is the main output;
DRHO is a quality control curve (LDT only).

Borehole Effects
The LDT is a pad tool with collimated source and
detectors. It experiences little or no
environmental effect.
In large holes, the curvature of the pad versus
that of the hole causes a minor error that needs to
be corrected.

Interpretation/Uses
The density tool is extremely useful as it has high
accuracy and exhibits small borehole effects.
Major uses include:
Porosity.
Lithology (in combination with the
neutron tool).
Mechanical properties (in combination
with the sonic tool).
Acoustic properties (in combination with
the sonic tool).

Scaling/Porosity
The density tool is usually run with the neutron.
To aid quicklook interpretation they are run on
"compatible scales".
This means that the scales are set such that for a
given lithology the curves overlay.
The standard scale is the "limestone compatible" where
the neutron porosity scale is:
To fit this the density log has to have its zero limestone point (2.7
g/cc) on the same position as the neutron porosity zero and the
range of the scale has to fit the neutrons 60 porosity units hence the
scale is:

Pef Physics
The Photoelectric effect occurs when the incident
gamma ray is completely absorbed by the
electron.
Pef Theory
Pe can be easily computed for any lithology by
summing the elemental contributions.
Measurement is virtually porosity and fluid
independent.
Major use is Lithology identification.
Another way of using it is express it in volumetric
terms as:
U = Pee
This is called the Volumetric photoelectric
absorption index.
This parameter can then be used in a formula for
computing the components of the reservoir.
U = Uf + (1 - ) Uma
