As a result of a suggestion that electric logging might be employed successfully in coal exploration, a Geophysicist from Melbourne visited Field Headquarters, Muswellbrook and ran electric logs in holes which are being drilled in this district. The equipment consisted of a Widco Logger with one movable electrode capable of measuring Resistivity to a depth of 500 feet. An adaption has been made to this equipment to enable Self Potential to be measured. The details of work done are listed in Table 1 and the results of the logging as compared with the usual method of core-logging are summarized briefly hereunder.
