Downhole Services
Geophysical Logging
Eliminate all uncertainty and guess work from your bedrock investigations using Endeavor’s full suite of downhole geophysical logging tools. We provide a complete set of quantifiable, precise, and repeatable data. The final product is neatly presented as an easy-to-interpret log composite which will leave you fluently understanding the geology of your site. Log composites are accompanied by formal summary reports, professionally composed with scientific descriptions and analysis of all field observations.

Applications of borehole geophysical logging include:
Identify zones of hydraulic activity from zones of stagnation
Pinpoint inflow zones and outflow zones
Measure the direction and magnitude of flow within an open borehole
Quantify sudden or gradual changes in water chemistry in relation to depth
Accurately measure the depth and thickness of stratigraphic units
Cross-hole correlate stratigraphic index layers across a site
Establish the exact depths of geologic contacts or changes in lithology
Visibly observe sudden or gradual changes in formation color
Detect subtle changes in density, grain size, and mineral composition
Identify impermeable confining layers such clay lenses or igneous sills
Determine the strike, dip direction, and dip angle of bedding and fractures
Visibly observe all fractures, voids, cavities, breakouts, and washouts with high-resolution acoustic and optical imaging
Characterize fracture orientation using feature traces, and dip tadpoles
Classify each observed fracture by its aperture, continuity, and degree of mineralization
- Recognize structural trends in the rock fabric using rose plots and polar plots
- Evaluate the orientation of principal stresses on the rock
Map borehole deviation in 3 dimensions
Accurately measure borehole diameter
Select discrete zones to be packer tested
Identify intervals of borehole wall conducive to creating packer seals
Confirm casing depth and well construction
Assess casing-bedrock interface
