This paper makes a brief review of the development of logging andborehole geophysical prospecting work conducted by various units affiliated toMinistry of Geology and Mineral Resources in the past 40 years, especially inthe last 10 years. In methnds and techniques, the collection system has deve-loped from semiautomatic and automatic analog recording to digital recording,the methods and borehole instruments have increased from several sorts totens of sorts with the gradual realization of seriation and combination, andthe graduation technique has growll out of nothing, indicating that our workhas entered the stage of digitization. In method application and softwaredevelopment, the logging has successfully extended its application flom coalfi-eld to more than twenty types of ore deposits, the borehole geophysicalprospecting has expanded its utilization from metallic deposits to the fields ofhydrological engineering and environmental geology and thus yielded goodgeological effects and economic benefits, and the software development hasgrown from its first-step work to the in-situ operation and management, datacollection, interpretation and mapping as well as indoor further proccessing,interpretation and mapping and imaging in combination with the CT techni-que. All these achievements demonstrate that our work has possessed somecharacteristics of modern borehole geophysical techniques. finally, the paperpredicts the prospects of the work.
