The Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake (1995.1, MJMA=7.2) activated the Nojima fault in the northern part of Awaji Island, southwest
Japan and a surface rupture appeared more than 10km long. After the earthquake, the Hirabayashi NIED borehole was drilled
penetrating through the fault zone to a depth of 1838m from a point about 302m SE from the surface trace of the Nojima fault.
In the borehole, physical well logging was done from 251m depth down to the bottom. At the same time, cores were collected
from 1000m depth with an almost 100% recovery rate and remarkable fractured zones containing cataclastic rocks were
confirmed at three depths, around 1140m, 1300m and 1800m.
Gamma ray logging survey indicates that the intensity of natural gamma ray changes abruptly within the interval of intrusive
rocks. Matching values of depths at the boundaries between intrusive rocks and host rocks, the calibration equation was
obtained between "core depth" and "logging depth"; "core depth" is measured by adding up lengths of drilling pipes and
"logging depth" is measured by the total length of the cable taken down a logging tool.
Results of well logging show that, in the depth interval of host rocks, normal resistivity is from several hundreds to
several thousands ohm m, micro resistivity is several tens ohm m, P wave velocity is 5 - 6km/sec, density is about 2.6g/cm3
and neutron porosity is several %. On the other hand, in the depth interval of the fracture zone, those properties decrease
down to several tens ohm m, several ohm m, 2 - 4km/sec, 1.5 - 2.0g/cm3 and increase up to several tens %, respectively.
Investigating correlations between physical properties measured by well logging in the Hirabayashi NIED borehole, three
fracture zones are characterized. In fracture zones, neutron porosity is beyond 10%, P wave velocity is less than 5 km/sec.
The decreasing rate of density is higher and the logarithm of normal resistivity increases more gently with the increase of
neutron porosity than in the depth interval of host rocks. The correlation between neutron porosity and P wave velocity is
not clear and normal resistivity does not obey the Archie's relation in the fracture zones. The fracture zone at a depth of
1800m indicates some different characters from other two fracture zones; P wave velocity, density and neutron porosity appear
to change gently contrasting to a remarkable decrease of normal resistivity.
