The logging data was recorded by Schlumberger in LDF/DLIS format. All processing, including first arrival picking and stacking, was performed by Schlumberger during Expedition 318. The data was then converted into SEGY format at USIO/LDEO, using tcode developed in house.

Stacks are generally calculated with at least nine good traces.

All the data in the SEGY files are sorted shot by shot (i.e. chronologically).

Additional information about the drilling and logging operations can be found in the Operations and Downhole Measurements sections of the expedition report, Proceedings of the Integrated Drilling Program, Expedition 318.
