Data

 

The logging data was recorded by Weatherford Wireline Services under supervision by personnel of RWTH Aachen University, Institute for Applied Geophysics and Geothermal Energy, which is part of the European Petrophysics Consortium (EPC). Data were provided by EPC to Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatoy, which formatted the files for inclusion in the online log database.

Hole M0062D was drilled with a 8 1/2 inch bit. In preparation for logging, the hole was circulated with sea water and the drill pipe was pulled back to 2 m WSF. The first tool string (MAI/MCG), Array Induction and Gamma Ray, reached 10.4 m WSF, where the uplog started. The second tool string, MSS/SGS/MCG, which included Total and Spectral Gamma Ray and a Compensated Sonic Tool, acquired data from 10.4 m WSF upward.

The data was acquired in high resolurtion mode with a sampling rate of 0.025 m.

 

 

Processing

 

Depth shift: A depth shift of 69.31 m was applied to all logs: this amount corresponds to the drilling/logging sea floor depth.

 

Environmental corrections: None were applied.

 

Acoustic data: The data is provided as slowness, expressed in microsec/m and microsec/ft.


 

Quality Control

 

The quality of the data is assessed by checking against reasonable values for the logged lithologies and by correspondence between logs affected by the same formation property (e.g. the resistivity log should show similar features to the acoustic log). The quality of the logs acquired at Hole M0062D is good.

 

According to the logging report, the total gamma ray values from the two runs correlate well. The potassium concentration is often extrememely low, beyond the tool detection capability. The gamma ray signature is mostly due to the Uranium and Thorium concentrations.

No caliper data was acquired at this hole.

 

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