Generally not...but from what I gather the mineralogy of the Pebbly Arkose is a bit different from the underlying Angwa. The presence of some minerals (eg zeolites) can dick with resistivity readings and in extreme cases prevent calculation of an accurate water saturation. The Pretty Hill Sandstone in South Australia's Ottway Basin is a good example of the latter. The exact mineralogy of the PA would have been deduced from sidewall core petrographic thin section work which would have been done _after_ the initial log interpretation was carried out. This is part of the process of calibration of log data with core data.

Note also that "Arkose" is an old name for what we would now call a felsarenite....a felspathic sandstone. Unless you're running a spectral GR with your LWD/wireline it's often hard to distinguish shaley sands from shales.

Thank you. It's interesting hearing about the Ottway basin.

The explanation provided by Greenocean is encouraging because it implies a mistake has been made in translating the meaning of residual. Let's hope that's the model that emerges. I also hope they will run the Spectral Gamma ray tool.
