This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. The code
CIMQ is a unique identifier to recognize this particular log and can be found in any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The acronym stands for
'Medium conductivity quadrature'. This log is not often acquired after (or during) drilling a well. The values of this log represent the conductivity, made by an induction log, which represents a measurement made approximately two to three feet into the formation.
So basically this is a measure of the conductivity which represents a measurement made approximately two to three feet into the formation; generally considered to measure the formation where it contain fluids which are a mixture of mud filtrate, connate water and possibly hydrocarbons.This log usually has the unit
'Conductivity'. This is the quantity of electricity transferred across unit area per unit potential gradient per unit time. In isotropic material, it is the reciprocal of Resistivity. Sometimes called Specific Conductance.
Data for this log is produced by a tool that uses a induction logging technique and can be used to investigate the conductivitty of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
