SITE SUMMARIES
Site : LORI-13A

Proposed Site:	LORI-13A
Priority	1
Position	7°39.45’N, 144°37.80’E
Water Depth	1070m
Sediment Thickness	450m
Target Depth	480m
Approved Maximum Penetration
Seismic Coverage	Deep Penetration seismic reflection Primary Line(s): UB 0103 airgun Location of Site on line SP 246 Crossing Lines(s): AWI 91091
Parasound Coverage	High resolution seismic reflection Primary Line(s): AWI Parasound
Objectives	1. Drill and sample the most complete stratigraphic pelagic sediment section to meet the paleoceanographic objectives for understanding the paleo Arctic Ocean circulation, its relationship with global climate, and changes in sediment flux to the basin. 2. Penetrate and sample acoustic basement to meet the tectonic objectives.
Drilling Program	Drill and sample 2 APC/XCB holes to 450 mbsf and 1 APC/XCB/RCB hole to 480 mbsf. Triple APC to refusal, XCB 30 m into basement and log.
Downhole Logging Program	Ice conditions permitting, the aim is to log at least one hole. At a minimum, formation density, porosity, resistivity, velocity, and gamma-ray spectrum will be logged.
Nature of Rock Anticipated	Sediments: Silty clays, clays, siltstone, claystone Basement: Continental crust rock: lithology is not known, but could range from volcanics to carboniferous rocks.
