Dataset of Boreholes Drilled in the Coalfield of Wucaiwan Area in Eastern Margin of Junggar Basin, Xinjiang

Junggar Basin in Xinjiang is an important home to reservoirs of energy and mineral resources such as oil, gas, and coal in China. In this paper, a dataset of 20 boreholes drilled in the coalfield of Wucaiwan area that lies in the eastern margin of Junggar Basin (also referred to as the Dataset) was established based on secondary development and exploitation of existing borehole  materials.  In  other  words,  the  Dataset  was  established  by  extracting  important information  from  existing  materials  of  the  boreholes  such  as  coordinates  and  elevation  of boreholes,  thickness  and  color  of  strata  discovered,  and  data  from  interpretation  of  logging curves. It consists of Excel database files of 20 boreholes. Each database file is comprised of 10  worksheets,  namely Basic information of boreholes, Lithological beds based on logging interpretation, Beds based on geological record histogram, Beds based on comprehensive histogram, Lithological beds of boreholes, Names and codes of strata, Colors of beds, Configuration oflogging curves, Data from logging curves, and Data dictionary. The data in the  Dataset  can  be  read  using  software  developed  by  Xi'an  Shiwen  Software  Co.,  Ltd.  (also referred to as Shiwen software) to plot 3D stereograms of stratigraphic sedimentary. This will help  achieve  a  more  intuitive  understanding  of  the  spatial  distribution  and  3D  geological structures of sandstone bodies in Wucaiwan area and thus is significant for the research of the sedimentary environment in this area.
