Borehole logging

A detailed record of every geological formation a borehole passes through — by eye at the core box, and by instrument down the hole.

The two kinds of log

By eye, and by instrument.

Geological logs
Based on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface. Recovered cores are examined by eye and then in detail.
Geophysical logs
Based on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole. Some geophysical logs can be run during any phase of a well’s history — drilling, completing, producing or abandoning.
Core recovery at the drill site
Core recovered and laid out for logging.

What we record

From each core run

  • Lithology
  • Dip and strike
  • Type of weathering
  • RQD — rock quality designation
  • Core recovery
  • Lugeon value

Well logging is performed in boreholes drilled for oil and gas, groundwater, mineral and geothermal exploration, and as part of environmental and geotechnical studies.
