Abstract

The article presents a case study of spectral gamma-ray characterisation of the deltaic Cretaceous Atane Formation in Nuussuaq Basin, Greenland. It states that gamma-ray logs are used for lithology indicator and petrophysical model which are emitted by three elements such as potassium, thorium, and uranium. The case study reportedly fails to resolve the grain-size variation of the formation because of the presence of the elements.
