The MicroSlim Litho-Density tool utilizes a Cesium (Cs137) gamma ray source to bombard the formation. Dual detectors measure the
energy spectrum and count rates of returned gamma rays whereby both the bulk density and the photoelectric absorption index are
calculated. A motorized caliper arm is used to ensure pad contact withthe borehole wall, reducing environmental effects while simultaneously providing a hole diameter measurement.
Logging Applications
Determination of bulk density
Formation porosity
Lithology identification
Identification of gas zones
Identification of washouts
