Wireline Standard Data Processing

ODP logging contractor: LDEO-BRG

Well name: 661A

Leg: 108

Location: Sierra Leone Rise (tropical NE Atlantic)

Latitude: 9° 26.81' N

Longitude: 19° 23.166' W

Logging date: March, 1986

Bottom felt: 4023.2 mbrf (used for depth shift to sea floor)

Total penetration: 296.1 mbsf

Total core recovered: 235.1 m (79.3 %)

Logging Runs

Logging string 1: DIT/LSS/GR

An attempt to run the LDT/CNTG/NGT logging string failed.

No information available about use of wireline heave compensator to counter ship heave.

Bottom-hole Assembly

The following bottom-hole assembly depths are as they appear on the logs after differential depth shift (see "Depth shift" section) and depth shift to the sea floor. As such, there might be a discrepancy with the original depths given by the drillers onboard. Possible reasons for depth discrepancies are ship heave and drill string and/or wireline stretch.

DIT/LSS/GR: Bottom-hole assembly at ~70 mbsf.

Processing

Depth shift: Original logs have been depth shifted to the sea floor (- 4023.2 m).

Acoustic data processing: The long spacing sonic data were of good quality and did not need further processing.

Quality Control

During the processing, quality control of the data is mainly performed by cross-correlation of all logging data. Log data at hole 661A are of good quality.

Data recorded through bottom-hole assembly should be used qualitatively only because of the attenuation on the incoming signal.

Hole diameter was recorded by the 3-arm mechanical caliper device (MCD).
