Summary

The BGS Geophysical Logs Database contains downhole geophysical log data from onshore UK boreholes drilled for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and extraction. These wells are regulated by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA; formerly known as DECC – Department of Energy and Climate Change and OGA – Oil and Gas Authority) and deeply penetrate the crust (often over 1 km deep) under the UK mainland, making the data collected from them useful for a variety of purposes. This dataset is a subset of the BGS Geophysical Logs Database.
