Description
The British Geological Survey Geophysical Logs Database provides an index into downhole geophysical log data from onshore UK boreholes held by BGS within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC). Geophysical log data may be used to understand stratigraphy, aid mapping work, assess resources like groundwater and quantify subsurface variability, so they are critical to many projects across the geoscience sector in the UK, including those which contribute towards net zero objectives such as the assessment of geothermal resources, storage of heat and waste materials, and the identification of mineral resources. The database includes hardcopy records (with digital scans) as well as digital wireline data in lis, las and dlis format. The data are linked to the Single Onshore Borehole Index and may be queried by borehole and spatial location. Hardcopy records are held in NGDC at BGS Keyworth. Some of the digital wireline data are in binary file formats, including .lis, .dlis, .tap and .tif (not an image format), which require specialist logging software to use. The database represents the combination of three historic databases which date from 1985 onwards, and the primary data were…
