ODP logging contractor: LDEO-BRG

Hole: 858F

Leg: 139

Location: Middle Valley-Juan de Fuca Ridge (NE Pacific)

Latitude: 48° 27.369' N

Longitude: 128° 42.527' W

Logging date: August, 1991

Bottom felt: 2426.2 mbrf (used for depth shift to sea floor)

Total penetration: 296.9 mbsf

Total core recovered: 10.2 m (4 %)

 

Logging Runs

 

Logging string 1: DIT/SDT/NGT (2 passes)

Logging string 2: FMS/GPIT/NGT (2 passes)

        

No information available from logging report about use of wireline heave compensator. The second pass of each logging string was recorded at a higher logging speed.

 

 

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/SDT/NGT: Bottom-hole assembly at ~56 mbsf

FMS/GPIT/NGT: Bottom-hole assembly at ~56 mbsf.

 

Processing

 

Depth shift: Original logs have been interactively depth shifted with reference to NGT from FMS/GPIT/NGT pass 1 and to the sea floor (- 2426.2 m). The program used is an interactive, graphical depth-match program which allows to visually correlate logs and to define appropriate shifts. The reference and match channels are displayed on the screen, with vectors connecting old (reference curve) and new (match curve) shift depths. The total gamma ray curve (SGR) from the NGT tool run on each logging string is used to correlate the logging runs most often. In general, the reference curve is chosen on the basis of constant, low cable tension and high cable speed (tools run at faster speeds are less likely to stick and are less susceptible to data degradation caused by ship heave). Other factors, however, such as the length of the logged interval, the presence of drill pipe, and the statistical quality of the collected data (better statistics is obtained at lower logging speeds) are also considered in the selection. A list of the amount of differential depth shifts applied at this hole is  available upon request.

 

Gamma-ray processing: NGT data have been processed to correct for borehole size and type of drilling fluid.

 

Acoustic data processing: The array sonic tool was operated standard depth-derived borehole compensated mode, including long-spacing (8-10-10-12')logs. The sonic logs from pass 1 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

 

null value=-999.25. This value generally appears in discrete core measurement files and also it may replace recorded log values or results which are considered invalid (ex. processed sonic data).

        

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

        

Invalid spikes were recorded with the spherically focused resistivity (SFLU) at 106, 177, and 206 mbsf.

        

Hole diameter was recorded by the caliper on the FMS string (C1 and C2).
