The invention relates to a
gamma energy spectrum-based method for identifying clay shale reservoir and
uranium ore occurrence on the spot, which comprises the following steps that: rock debris in corresponding depth of
drilling fluid is continuously sampled or a core acquired through the core drilling is sampled according to corresponding depths; the rock debris sample or the
core sample is placed into a matched lead tank, and a
gamma energy spectrum probe is used for measuring the rock debris sample or the
core sample inside the lead tank; then counting rates and activity of
uranium (U),
radium (Ra),
thorium (Th) and kalium (K) and a total gamma value are acquired according to the measurement result, so that the real content of U(Ra), Th and K in the rock can be calculated; and finally, a variation curve of the contents of U(Ra), Th and K is drawn according to the calculation results, and the clay shale reservoir and the
uranium ore occurrence are identified according to variation characteristics of the curve.
Gamma energy spectrum measurement and analysis on rock debris or the core which are acquired from the drilling are directly performed, so that the clay shale reservoir and the
uranium ore occurrence can be rapidly identified and evaluated. The method is an economical and efficient method. The
gamma energy spectrum measurement is performed on the drilling site, so that influence of an external environment on the
rock sample can be avoided, and the accuracy of the measurement result can be guaranteed.
