A common gamma-ray log records the total radiation and cannot distinguish between the radioactive elements, while a spectral gamma ray log (see below) can. For standard gamma-ray logs, the measured value of gamma-ray radiation is calculated from concentration of uranium in ppm, thorium in ppm, and potassium in weight percent: e.g., GR API = 8 ...

The formation evaluation gamma ray log is a record of the variation with depth of the natural radioactivity of earth materials in a wellbore. Measurement of natural emission of gamma rays in oil and gas wells are useful because shales and sandstones typically have different gamma ray levels.
Wells is on the southern coast of Maine, surrounded by Kennebunk to the northeast, Sanford to the northwest, North Berwick to the west, South Berwick to the southwest, and Ogunquit to the south. According to the United States Census Bureau , the town has a total area of 73.61 square miles (190.65 km 2 ), of which 57.55 square miles (149.05 km 2 ...
Gamma-ray sensors are also used for measuring the fluid levels in water and oil industries. [17] Typically, these use Co-60 or Cs-137 isotopes as the radiation source. In the US, gamma ray detectors are beginning to be used as part of the Container Security Initiative (CSI). These machines are advertised to be able to scan 30 containers per hour.
In addition to directing the town attorney to draft a moratorium, the Select Board also scheduled a public hearing on the matter for Tuesday, April 16, at the Wells Town Hall at 6 p.m.
