Digital Geophysical Borehole Log Index (RECALL database)

The Geophysical Borehole Log index provides details of all digital geophysical logs available to BGS. The database provides the borehole metadata related to logging and metadata for the logging itself and log data stored in a proprietary hierarchical database system (PETRIS RECALL). Contains most digital geophysically logged bores known to BGS National Geological Records Centre. Scattered distribution of boreholes, locally dense coverage, relatively few logs from Scotland & Central Wales, increasing data density on UK continental Shelf.

Supplemental Information: The data is updated when new data becomes available. Contains most geophysically logged bores known to BGS NGRC. Relatively few logs from Scotland and Central Wales. Scattered distribution of boreholes - locally dense coverage. Inconsistent, but improving quality dependent on the quality of the data on the borehole log header sheets and improving internal understanding of log data quality.
