Title

Map based index (GeoIndex) boreholes with geophysical logs

Abstract

This layer of the map based index (GeoIndex) shows the location of onshore UK boreholes known to BGS that have digital or paper geophysical borehole logs. The details given for each borehole are, the name of the borehole, the grid reference and the format, ie. paper or digital. Scattered distribution of boreholes, locally dense coverage, few logs from Scotland. The GeoIndex is updated at regular intervals but more information may be available than is shown at any one time.

Lineage

The data for this layer of the GeoIndex is taken from the BGS Geophysical Borehole Log Database. Information for this database was gathered from boreholes drilled by BGS and external organisations, mainly related to hydrocarbon , coal exploration or water wells.
