What is BS 7022 - Geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes about?
BS 7022 is a European standard that discusses geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes. BS 7022 outlines the factors which need to be considered and the measurements which need to be made when logging boreholes. There can, however, be no definitive “standard” logging procedure because of the great diversity of objectives, aquifers, groundwater conditions, available technology, and legal contexts.
Geophysical logging of water boreholes is an evolving science, continually adopting new and different techniques. Every application poses a range of problems and is likely to require a particular set of logs to gain maximum information.
BS 7022, therefore, provides information on-field practice, with an indication of how variations may be made to take account of local conditions. BS 7022 deals with the usual types of logging carried out for water resources assessment, water supply purposes, groundwater quality studies including saline intrusion, landfill investigations, aquifer contamination, well or borehole construction and condition, and geological (formation) information.
Note: Interpretation of the data collected during logging is referred to in BS 7022 only in a general way. For full details of the analysis and interpretation of geophysical logs, reference should be made to specialized texts.
Who is BS 7022 - Geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes for?
BS 7022 on geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes is useful for:
- Hydrogeological laboratories
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS 7022 - Geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes?
Geophysical logging of boreholes, wells, and/or shafts (hereafter described as boreholes) provide a measurement of various physical and chemical properties of formations penetrated by a borehole and of its contained fluids.
Sondes measuring different parameters are lowered into the borehole and the continuous change in a measured property is presented graphically as a geophysical log.
BS 7022 assist you with units of measurement, the purpose of geophysical logging, planning, formation logging, fluid logging, construction logging, and log presentation of geophysical logging of boreholes for hydrogeological purposes.
With obedience and compliance to BS 7022:1988, you can properly measure various physical and chemical properties of formations penetrated by a borehole. In addition, ensure reliable results from geophysical logging of boreholes for groundwater studies.
