Glasgow Mine Water Borehole Logs and Samples from 2019-2020

Borehole information pack from the UKGEOS Glasgow GGA07 site, drilled between June and December 2019 to a depth of 56.9 meters. The British Geological Survey release includes wireline logs, optical camera data, archived rock chips, and a descriptive report. Data collection includes cased hole logging in January 2020 and hydrogeological testing in February 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze wireline log data to characterize subsurface geology and hydrogeological properties at the borehole site.
• Use optical camera data from the cased borehole to visually inspect geological formations and mine workings.
• Study archived rock chip samples to perform petrophysical or geochemical analysis of the drilled strata.
• Correlate BGS and Drillers’ logs with hydrogeological test results from February 2020 to model mine water flow.

Strengths

• Includes multi-modal data: wireline logs, optical imagery, physical rock samples, and descriptive reports.
• Documents a specific, instrumented borehole drilled to a known depth of 56.9 meters.
• Covers a defined operational timeline from drilling in 2019 through logging and testing in early 2020.

Limitations

• Data is specific to a single borehole (GGA07, site 03), limiting statistical or spatial generalizability.
• Sample data and column structure are unavailable, complicating assessment of data structure and machine-readability.
