Geophysical Methods

Methods: Electrical, Magnetic, Nuclear, Acoustic, Thermal
State of the art and new GSC borehole geophysical probes will measure a number of physical properties that will help interpret the seismic data, as well as to characterize thermal properties, temperature distribution, permeability and bulk clay typing.

Gamma-Ray Spectrometry

Example: Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
Potassic Alteration versus Lithology Signature
