A method of radioactive well logging for use in well operations wherein hydraulic fracturing material including, radioactive isotopes, is injected from a steel cased well bore 31 into surrounding earth formations 33. Low energy gamma ray emitting radioisotopes are selected for tagging the liquids phase of the fracturing material and high energy gamma ray emitting radioisotopes are selected for tagging the solids phase. The relative amount of low energy radioisotope material inside the well bore 31 relative to the amount outside the casing 35 is determined to minimize the interfering effects of borehole tracers in determining concentrations of the high energy tracers in the formations. The …
