Notes

Density and electrical resistivity data were important to calibrate structural models based on surface surveys. Fluid flow appeared to be concentrated beneath the detachment within an interval in which some mud losses occurred while drilling, and shallow-reading resistivity logs recorded much lower values than deeper-reading logs suggesting that resistivity log separation may be useful to identify permeable zones.
