The spectrum of BHGM applications is defined on one extreme by density logging and on the other by remote sensing of structure. The first extreme sometimes focuses strictly on formation and reservoir evaluation questions, while the other extends to basic exploration. Figure 1 is an example of both applications. In fact, the purpose of the survey was to detect carbonate porosity in a reef environment that was missed by the other logs. For this objective, the useful radius of investigation of the measurement is on the order of [[length::50 ft]]. The sharp negative density anomaly observed between 6330 and [[depth::6370 ft]] suggests porosity obscured by near-borehole effects or poor volume sampling. However, the broad departure of the BHGM and gamma-gamma logs over the depth range of the logged section is typical of a structural effect, in this case the edge of the reef complex which is within a few hundred feet.
