Available data

 

The logging data was acquired by Schlumberger (Run 1) and Welex (Run 2) in LIS format in 1984. The Schlumberger data was originally available on 9-track magnetic tape archived at LDEO-BRG in 1987, when the CP-226 hole was drilled and logged. The Welex logging data below 594 m were manually digitized at LDEO-BRG in1987, from the blueprints produced by Welex. The available dataset does not include any Dipmeter acquired by Schlumberger or Welex or resistivity data acquired by Welex below 390 m. The dipmeter and resistivity data acquired by Welex are available in analog form only.

The available data were reviewed for quality control and formatted for upload onto the LogDB database at the Borehole Research Group of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in March 2021.

The Cajon Pass (formerly Arkoma) Federal 1-26 hole, located 4.3 km from the San Andreas Fault in the San Bernardino Mountains, was drilled by the Arkoma Production Company as a wildcat well. The hole was logged by Schlumberger in February, 1984. The logging suite included DIL/BHC/GR and HDT (High Resolution Dipmeter). After installing a 13 3/8 in casing at 154.5 m, the hole was deepened to a total depth of 1795.3 m and logged by Welex in March 1984. Logging consisted of DIL/GR, CDL and Dipmeter tools. The hole was subsequenly cased to a depth of 400.2 m with a 9 5/8 in. casing.

 

Quality Control

 

The quality of the data is commonly assessed by checking against reasonable values for the logged lithologies, by repeatability between different passes of the same tool, and by correspondence between logs affected by the same formation property (e.g. the resistivity log should show similar features to the sonic velocity log). The data of hole Cajon Pass 1-26 is of good quality.

 

Gamma ray logs recorded through the casing (above 154.5 m) should be used only qualitatively, because of the attenuation of the incoming signal.

 

A wide and/or irregular borehole affects most recordings, particularly those that require eccentralization and a good contact with the borehole wall (CDL). Hole diameter was recorded by the hydraulic caliper on the CDL tool . CP-126 is generally in gauge, showing values in the 8.5-10 in. range, with local enlargements generally not exceeding 12 in. A large washout, up to 22 in in diameter, occurs at 618-658 m, at what the sonic and resistivity indicate as the sediment/basement boundary.

 

A null value of -999.25 may replace invalid log values.
