Wireline Standard Data Processing

ODP logging contractor: LDEO-BRG

Hole: 848B

Leg: 138

Location: East Pacific Rise (tropical NE Pacific)

Latitude: 2° 59.634' N

Longitude: 110° 28.791' W

Logging date: June, 1991

Bottom felt: 3867.3 mbrf

Total penetration: 93.8 mbsf

Total core recovered: 97.8 m (104.2 %)

Logging Runs

Logging string 1: ACT/GST/NGT

Wireline heave compensator was not used 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, use of wireline heave compensator, and drill string and/or wireline stretch.

ACT/GST/NGT: Bottom-hole assembly at ~86 mbsf.

Processing

Depth shift: No differential depth shift was necessary as only one logging pass was recorded. Original logs have been interactively depth shifted to the sea floor (- 3867.2 m).

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

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.

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