Logging Software
Well and borehole logs result in data that requires software to produce professional illustrations suitable for reports. Subsurface investigations, environmental site assessments, engineering investigations, and groundwater supply exploration result in test borings, monitoring wells, microwells, and water supply wells. For data analysis and report preparation the field data is usually converted into professionally prepared well logs and well construction drawings. A number of software programs are available to for producing professional quality logs of all kinds. Geologic Resources sells Golden Software, Inc.'s Strater program. Strater is a well log and borehole plotting software program that imports data from a multitude of sources (database files, data files, LAS files, ODBC, and OLE DB data sources). Typically we include the following types of log on one page:
