Logging Runs

 

Logging string 1: DIT/LSS/GR

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

 

Bottom-hole Assembly

 

                  The logs show the bottom-hole assembly at 121 mbsf. Any discrepancy with the BHA depth given by the drillers onboard may be due to ship heave and drill string and/or wireline stretch.

 

 

Processing

 

         Depth shift: No differential depth shift necessary as only one run was recorded. The original logs have been depth shifted to the sea floor (- 5070.1 m).

 

         Acoustic data processing: Only 23 meters of logs were recorded .The long-spacing (LSS) sonic logs have been processed to eliminate some of the noise and cycle skipping experienced during the recording. Using two sets of the four transit time measurements and proper depth justification, four independent measurements over a -2ft interval centered on the depth of interest are determined, each based on the difference between a pair of transmitters and receivers. The program discards any transit time that is negative or falls outside a range of meaningful values selected by the processor.

 

 

Quality Control

 

         Only 34 meters of logs were recorded open hole in Hole 676A.

         The gamma ray 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.
