Objective:
|
Objectives of this site include characterization of
pore water chemistry and gas chemistry (headspace and voids)
core physical properties
gas hydrate occurrence (distribution, concentration)
An additional objective is to determine the nature of the BSR reflection and the thickness of the free gas zone (if any) underneath the BSR by wireline and LWD logging.
|
Drilling and Logging program
|
APC to refusal; XCB; PCS and HYACINTH (pending funding) pressure cores
|
Logging program
|
LWD, triple combo, FMS-sonic, multiple use of APCT, DVTPP
|
Nature of rock anticipated:
|
Interlayered silts and clays, some authigenic carbonates possible
