Objective
(see text for full details):
|
Determine splay fault history and nature of prism below basin
sediments
Preparatory site for deep (~5.5–6.0 km) riser drilling
|
Drilling, coring, and downhole measurement program:
|
Chikyu Expedition 314 (LWD):
• Hole A - MWD/LWD
• 9-5/8 inch casing to 1000 mbsf as required
|
Anticipated lithology:
|
0–1039 mbsf: slope basin sediments; rapidly deposited
sand/silts/clays
~420 mbsf: bottom-simulating reflector
1039–1400 mbsf: older accreted prism
