Abstract
Elemental analysis of an earth formation is obtained using measurements from a gamma ray logging tool. From the elemental analysis, an estimate of the Calcium, Magnesium and Carbon content of the formation is determined. The amount of organic carbon in the formation is estimated from the total Carbon content and the inorganic carbon associated with minerals in the formation. An indication of source rock may be obtained from the Th/U ratio.
