GAEA Technologies is pleased to announce the release of WinLoG Validation & QA/QC, included in WinLoG version 10 at no additional cost, bringing automated data-quality checks to borehole and well logging workflows.
Reliable logs depend on reliable underlying data. Missing sample identifiers, inconsistent measurements, and conflicting observations can be difficult to spot during routine review. WinLoG Validation & QA/QC helps identify these issues before logs are issued and documents the findings for technical review.
Check Individual Values and Related Data
WinLoG applies domain-specific, completeness, and cross-dataset rules to structured borehole and well information. These checks evaluate both individual entries and the relationships between lithology, samples, laboratory results, groundwater, and construction records.
Key capabilities include:
- Range and relationship checks to identify invalid values and inconsistent measurements
- Completeness checks to flag missing information
- Cross-dataset validation to compare related evidence
- Errors, warnings, and informational findings to help prioritize review
- Validation status, completeness, quality, and confidence indicators to summarize results
Findings identify the affected datasets, fields, and depth intervals. Detailed reports record the rule, severity, expected condition, and actual value, helping reviewers locate and assess each issue.

Practical Examples Across Subsurface Investigations
The WinLoG Validation & QA/QC Example Library includes eight examples showing how automated checks apply to different investigation types.
Geotechnical and transportation examples demonstrate checks involving SPT N-values, sample recovery, soil classification, laboratory results, pavement, and subgrade data.
Rock-core examples examine core-run intervals and relationships between recovery, RQD, SCR, and TCR.
Environmental and groundwater examples address sample identifiers, field screening, laboratory criteria, well-component depths, and water-level observations.
Mineral exploration examples highlight missing assays, conflicting results, and relationships between mineralization and sampling. Oil and gas examples examine formation boundaries, hydrocarbon shows, staining, and related observations.
Each example provides a practical way to explore findings in the context of a log and its supporting data.
Support Professional Review
Automated validation helps reviewers focus their attention, while interpretation remains the responsibility of qualified professionals. A warning may indicate an unusual but valid condition that needs an explanation rather than a correction.
Existing structured WinLoG records can also be evaluated when the applicable data, fields, and template context are available. This allows teams to use validation when reviewing suitable historical records as well as new logs.
