Abstract
A calibrator is positioned on a logging tool at an angular orientation with respect to the logging tool. The calibrator has a radioactive source of gamma radiation distributed inside the calibrator. A first detector count rate is determined based on a detector in the logging tool detecting gamma radiation. One or more of the calibrator and logging tool is rotated by a first number of degrees. A second detector count rate is determined based on the detector in the logging tool detecting gamma radiation. One or more of the calibrator and logging tool is rotated by second number of degrees. A third detector count rate is determined based on the detector in the logging tool detecting gamma radiation. The first, second, and third detector count rates are averaged to determine a calibration gain factor based on the average detector count rate and a known indication of gamma radiation emitted by the calibrator.
