Abstract :
Radioactivity well logging was pushed several strides closer to positive identification and location of oil-bearing formations recently by the first successful test of the world´s smallest “atom smasher” by Well Surveys, Inc., Tulsa, Okla. an affiliate of Lane-Wells Company, one of the Dresser Industries. Perfection of the miniature high energy source is one step in the application of atomic energy to oil field problems begun by the company nearly 20 years ago.
