ABSTRACT
Three exploratory drill holes (DOE Salt Valley No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3)
were drilled at Salt Valley, Utah, to study the geologic, physical, geochemi-
cal, and hydrologic properties of the evaporite sequence in the Permian
Paradox Member of the Hermosa Formation. The results of these studies will be
used to help to determine the suitability of salt deposits in the Paradox
basin as a storage medium for radioactive waste material.
The following geophysical well-log measurements were made in each of the
three drill holes: (1) density, (2) neutron, (3) acoustic velocity, (4)
normal resistivity, and (5) gamma ray. Widely spaced resistivity and conduc
tivity well-log measurements were made in the deep drill hole (DOE No. 3)
Each of these well-log measurements shows the division of the evaporite se
quence into halite and interbed sections. At the present time the most useful
well-logging measurements for determining the individual lithologies in an
evaporite sequence are gamma ray, neutron, density, and acoustic velocity.
The high resistivity contrast between the drilling fluid (0.5 ohm-m) and
salt (10,000 ohm-m) makes it difficult to obtain quantitative measurements of
electrical properties in an evaporite sequence. Tests of widely spaced elec
trode configurations show that the effects of the brine on the resistivity
measurements can be reduced, and the depth of investigation increased, by
increasing the source-receiver electrode spacing. Tests of a single-coil
induction probe show good resolution of the contrasting electrical properties
of the various interbed lithologies.
INTRODUCTION
During the summer and fall of 1978 three holes were drilled by the U.S.
Department of Energy at Salt Valley, Utah, to study the geologic and hydrolog-
ic characteristics of the evaporite sequence in the Permian Paradox Member of
the Hermosa Formation. The approximate depths of these three drill holes are
as follows: (1) DOE Salt Valley No. 1 (SV1) was drilled to a depth of approx
imately 390 m, (2) DOE Salt Valley No. 2 (SV2) was drilled to a depth of ap
proximately 375 m, and (3) DOE Salt Valley No. 3 (SV3) was drilled to a depth
of approximately 1240 m.
Borehole geophysical measurements were made (using U.S. Geological Survey
borehole geophysical equipment and contract equipment) in each drill hole
before casing was set (at the top of the salt), and in the remaining open hole
after the drilling was completed. These measurements were made in order to
better understand the physical properties of the various lithologies associat
ed with the evaporite sequence. Geophysical well-logging information is
necessary to interpret deep-penetration geophysical measurements (such as
hole-to-surface and hole-to-hole electrical measurements) that can be used to
evaluate the geologic viability of a site without extensive drilling.
GEOPHYSICAL WELL-LOG RESPONSE IN EVAPORITES
A general analysis of the well-log response measurements from drill hole
SV3 was given in a previous paper (Daniels and others, 1979) Some of these
data are repeated in this report.
The evaporite sequence at Salt Valley can be divided into three different
stratigraphic regimes as follows: (1) a weathered caprock, (2) halite sec
tions below the caprock, and (3) interbeds of anhydrite, shale, and dolomite
separating the halite sections. Figure 1 illustrates an idealized geologic
section showing typical evaporites in the Paradox basin. This evaporite
sequence is repeated in a cyclic manner as a result of salinity changes in the
basin during deposition. Previous investigators (Tixier and Alger, 1970;
Nurmi, 1978) have described the basic physical properties of an evaporite
sequence. These general properties, summarized in figure 1, appear to apply
to the Salt Valley evaporite sequence.
A geophysical well-log measurement is a function of the physical proper
ties of the rock framework, the fluid in the formation, conditions in the
borehole (fluid and rugosity), the volume of the rock investigated by the
probe, the vertical resolution of the probe (thin-bed resolution), and the
design characteristics of each individual logging probe. Therefore, the
response measured with a geophysical well-logging probe should always be
considered an apparent, rather than a true, physical-property value. The
response characteristics of individual well-logging probes can be summarized
as follows:

Density
The density probe consists of a gamma-ray source and one or more gamma-
ray detectors. Gamma rays emitted by the source are scattered by the rock
formation as an inverse function of the electron density of the rocks. The
Compton-scattered gamma radiation that is measured at the gamma-ray detector
on the probe is inversely proportional to the electron density of the rock.
When two detectors are used to measure the scattered gamma radiation, the
effects of the borehole conditions (rugosity and fluid density) on the cali
brated density measurement can be compensated, and the computed density is
approximately equal to the bulk density of the rocks. The apparent bulk
odensity of halite is approximately 2.05 g/cm in the three Salt Valley drill
holes. The density of the interbed and caprock lithologies is a function of
the porosity and grain density of the rocks. Clays and shales have low appar-*\
ent bulk densities (2.2 to 2.6 g/cnr), sandstone has intermediate apparent
obulk densities (2.45 to 2.65 g/cm ), and dolomite has a high apparent bulk
odensity (2.7 to 2.9 g/cnr). Potash minerals (carnallite and sylvite) have
overy low apparent bulk densities (less than 2.0 g/cnr).
Resistivity
Resistivity is a measure of the ease that electrical current passes
through a rock and is a function of porosity, fluid resistivity, and grain
resistivity. Laboratory resistivity measurements show a wide range of resis
tivity values for evaporites. The apparent resistivity of clay is usually
less than 10 ohm-m, shale has a resistivity of less than 50 ohm-m, sandstone
has a resistivity between 50 and 200 ohm-m, and dolomite has a resistivity of
more than 200 ohm-m. The DC resisitivy of consolidated halite is generally
greater than 10,000 ohm-m, which contrasts markedly with the resistivities of
the caprock and interbeds in the Paradox basin. In theory, resistivity should
be an excellent indicator of resistivity contrasts. However, conventional
resistivity probes are not designed to operate in holes drilled through evapo-
rites. The resistivity contrast between the drilling fluid and the salt
formation is approximately 200,000 to 1, resulting in a resistivity response
that is dominated by the low resistivity of the drilling fluid. This response
results in resistivity well-log measurements that lack detail in defining
lithologies within the interbeds, as well as yielding apparent resistivity
values that are several orders of magnitude different from the true resistivi
ty of the salt. Conventional induction-logging tools are also inadequate for
measuring the high resistivities found in an evaporite sequence.
Gamma ray
The gamma-ray probe measures the natural gamma radiation emitted by the
rocks surrounding the borehole. The principal natural gamma-ray emitting
minerals in the evaporite sequence are uranium and potassium-40. Halite has a
nearly zero gamma-ray response, shale has a low to intermediate gamma-ray
response, black shale has an intermediate to high gamma-ray response, and the
potash minerals have very high gamma-ray responses.
Neutron
The neutron well-logging probe consists of a neutron source and a neutron
detector located on the probe approximately 0.5 m from the source. The number
of neutrons counted at the receiver is inversely proportional to the hydrogen
content of the rocks surrounding the borehole, and is primarily a measure of
the amount of water and hydrocarbons contained in the rocks. The neutron
response is high in halite, intermediate in sandstone and dolomite, and low in
carnallite and black shale.
Acoustic velocity
The acoustic-velocity probe consists of an acoustic source and two (or
more) acoustic detectors. The interval transit time of a sonic wave emitted
from the source is measured between two detectors. The inverse of the inter
val transit time ( t) times the distance (in meters) between the two detectors
is the acoustic velocity (m/s). Only the p-wave velocity is usually mea
sured. The acoustic velocity is high for carnallite, anhydrite, and dolomite
(approximately 5000 m/s), intermediate for halite (approximately 4500 m/s),
and low for gypsum and shale (approximately 3000 m/s).
INTERPRETATION OF LITHOLOGIES
FROM BOREHOLE GEOPHYSICAL WELL LOGS AT SALT VALLEY
The complete borehole geophysical well-log measurements for the holes
considered in this study are shown in the appendixes as follows: (1) the logs
for DOE Salt Valley No. 1 (SV1) are in Appendix A, (2) the logs for DOE Salt
Valley No. 2 (SV2) are in Appendix B, and (3) the logs for DOE Salt Valley No.
3 (SV3) are in Appendix C.
The response of the neutron, gamma-ray, density, and acoustic-velocity
well logs in the halite, caprock, and interbed sections of drill hole SV3 is
illustrated in figure 2. Halite is easily distinguished from the interbeds
and caprock at Salt Valley. The high gamma-ray response in the interbeds and
caprock is caused by potassium-rich clays and possibly uranium in the shaley
interbeds, whereas the low neutron response indicates a general increase in

water in the interbeds and caprock. The density log shows the relatively high
grain densities of the interbeds compared to the halite, whereas the acoustic
log reflects the low p-wave velocity of the caprock and interbeds. The den
sity, neutron, and acoustic log responses reflect the hydration of anhydrite
to gypsum in the caprock.
An experiment using widely spaced electrode arrays was performed in the
test well (SV3) at Salt Valley. Electrode configurations and the resulting
apparent resistivities are shown in figure 3. Increasing the source-receiver
separation increases the apparent resistivity. The widely spaced configura
tions also show more detail than the conventional long-normal resistivity.
This paradox is a result of penetration of current beyond the invaded zone of
the interbeds. If the electrode separation were increased further, the reso
lution of the interbeds would diminish, and the apparent resistivity would
increase as the ratio of salt-to-interbed thickness increased. The intrinsic
resistivity values of the evaporite layers can only be achieved by removing
the effect of the borehole from the apparent resistivity response by detailed
computer modeling.
High-frequency electromagnetic methods, such as radar, can be used in dry
holes drilled into evaporites, and could be adapted to work in fluid-filled
holes. More experimental work is needed to determine the usefulness of sub-
radar-frequency electromagnetic measurements in salt environments. Figure 4
shows an uncalibrated experimental conductivity log that was made at Salt
Valley by measuring the in-phase self-inductance of a single coil driven at a
frequency of 1000 Hz. The quadrature component of this inductance signal is
normally used to measure magnetic susceptibility and has been described by

Scott and others (1976). The usefulness of this conductivity measurement is
not yet fully established, but the measurements correlate with conductivity
changes that would be expected in an evaporite sequence.
Figure 5 illustrates the well-log measurement response for a typical
halite-interbed sequence from the well logs shown in figures 2 and 4. Carnal-
lite can usually be distinguished from shale by its low density. Anhydrite
can be distinguished from halite by its high density and the nearly constant
acoustic velocity of halite. There are sections of the interbeds where multi
ple lithologies make it difficult to distinguish the mineralogic components of
the section. This difficulty is clearly illustrated for depth intervals 1018
to 1025 m and 1030 to 1040 m. The presence of dolomite in shale and sandstone
complicates the interpretation of geophysical well logs in evaporite se
quences. Halite, shale, potash, and anhydrite can be easily identified by
individual well logs as follows:
(1) Anhydrite has a low gamma-ray count, high neutron response, high
acoustic velocity, high density, and low conductivity.
(2) Most black shales have a high gamma-ray response, low neutron re
sponse, intermediate densities, low acoustic velocities, and high
conductivities
(3) Halite has a low gamma-ray count, high neutron response, low density,
low acoustic velocity, and low conductivity.
(4) The potash minerals at Salt Valley are carnallite and sylvite.
Carnallite has an intermediate gamma-ray count, an intermediate
neutron response, low density, high acoustic velocity, and high

response, low density, high acoustic velocity, and low conductivity.
COMPUTER-ASSISTED INTERPRETATION
To overcome the ambiguity associated with individual well-log interpreta
tion, several well logs must be simultaneously interpreted. A consistent
interpretation of the well logs can be achieved by interpreting the digital
well-log data. Computer-assisted interpretation of well logs involves the
following procedure: (1) input of digital depth-well log response measure
ment data pairs into the computer, (2) assignment of value ranges of one or
more geophysical well logs for a particular lithology,
and (3) execution of the computer program to assign lithologies to depth
intervals where the well-log measurements are within the specified ranges for
a particular lithology. This interpretation procedure is necessarily subjec
tive; it should be considered to be a preliminary interpretation that should
be refined by visual interpretation of the geophysical well logs. A computer-
assisted interpretation of drill hole SV3 is given in Appendix D. The lithol
ogies shown in Appendix D were interpreted using the well-log response value
ranges given in table 2. The well-log response measurements of the Salt
Valley drill holes were digitized at depth intervals of 0.1524 m. Therefore,
beds whose thickness is less than approximately 0.3048 m cannot be detected.
Beds whose thickness is less than approximately 0.6096 m show no response on
the lithologic well logs in Appendix D. However, the list of interpreted
values, shown in Appendix D, does add information to the interpretation for
thin beds.
14
The caprock lithology is complex, consisting of a heterogenous mixture of
sandstone, shale, dolomite, and gypsum. Vertical and horizontal changes in
the stratigraphy are difficult to define. The complex nature of the caprock
is reflected in the geophysical well-log measurements. The gamma-ray, neu
tron, density, acoustic-velocity, and caliper well logs for the caprock depth
intervals in drill holes SV1, SV2, and SV3 are shown in figures 6, 7, and 8,
respectively. The interpreted lithology based upon the well-log responses is
shown below the geophysical well logs. The lithologic well logs were inter
preted using the well-log response value ranges given in table 2. The comput
er was programmed to assign a specific lithology to all depth intervals that
contained well-log response values in a specified value range. The interpre
tation assumes that the only lithologies present in the section are those that
are listed in the table. Other lithologies may be present but have not been
considered in this interpretation. This interpretation should be considered
as a first approximation of the lithology and not a final interpretation of
the lithology. However, the well-log interpretation does indicate the follow
ing:
(1) The gamma-ray well logs indicate the presence of more shale in drill
hole SV1 than in drill holes SV2 or SV3.
(2) The shale at a depth of 121 m in SV1, 103 m in SV2, and 135 m in SV3
may be a single, correlative, lithologic unit.
(3) The neutron well logs indicate that the caprock in drill hole SVl has
a lower porosity than in drill holes SVl or SV2.
Only the neutron and gamma-ray well logs were used in the interpretation. The
caliper log shows that each of the holes has large changes in borehole

CONCLUSIONS
The lithologies present in an evaporite sequence (halite, anhydrite,
potash, shale, gypsum, sandstone, and dolomite) show physical-property charac
teristics that are easily identifiable on conventional well logs. However,
the evaporite sequence at Salt Valley is lithologically and structurally
complex. More work needs to be done to quantitatively identify the mineralog-
ic components within the complex interbed sequences. This is particularly
true for the caprock; at the present time, interpretation of the caprock
20
lithology is little more than an educated guess. The lithology could be
identified by conducting detailed chemical and petrographic analysis of core
taken from the caprock.
The thin beds in the interbed sequence can be better defined by obtaining
very closely spaced digital geophysical well-log measurements (a sample spac
ing of less than 2 cm). However, quantitative identification of mineralogic
components within the interbed sequence may require the development and appli
cation of new borehole geophysical tools. Some tools that are presently used
(such as acoustic velocity, neutron, and density) have been developed for use
in oil exploration and may be redesigned to give the detailed information
required for the nuclear waste program.
Borehole geophysical probes are needed to measure the large contrast of
electrical properties (dielectric constant and resistivity) that are present
between the individual lithologic components in an evaporite sequence. The
single-coil induction probe that was tested at Salt Valley may be useful in

and subradar-frequency electromagnetic borehole probes need to be developed.
