Questions and Answers

How can amorphous silica impact core analysis?

  • It improves gamma-ray interpretation.
  • It results in suppression of resistivity logs. (correct)
  • It enhances the accuracy of porosity measurement.
  • It has no effect on core analysis.

What effect can high-potassium forms of K-Feldspars have on gamma-ray interpretation?

  • Enhance the accuracy of gamma-ray interpretation.
  • Confuse gamma-ray interpretation. (correct)
  • Improve core analysis results.
  • Have no effect on gamma-ray interpretation.

How does dolomitisation of limestone affect crystal volume?

  • Increases the crystal volume.
  • Has no effect on crystal volume.
  • Makes crystal volume difficult to measure.
  • Reduces the crystal volume resulting in higher porosity. (correct)
