Site summaries (continued)

Proposed Site CB-04A
Priority:
Alternate for CB-04B
Position:
44°56.0933´S, 172°01.1532´E
Water depth (m):
340
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
1270
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
1270
Survey coverage:
EW00-01-60 (CDP 2072), EW00-01-19a (CDP 3147)
• Track map (Fig. AF1)
• Seismic profile (Fig. AF9)
• Location map (Fig. F3)
• Dip profile EW00-01-60 (Fig. F9)
Objective (see text for details):
Sample slope facies of progradational sequence boundaries, particularly Unconformities U7–U9 (middle/late Miocene to early Pliocene), U11, and U13–U19 (Pliocene to Holocene)
Drilling, coring, and downhole measurement program:
Hole A
• APC/XCB to refusal (APC core orientation)
• Wireline log (triple combo, FMS-sonic)
• VSP with VSI
Hole B
• Drill without coring to APC refusal depth
• RCB coring to 1270 mbsf
• Wireline log (triple combo, FMS-sonic)
• VSP with VSI
Anticipated lithology:
0–1270 mbsf: Terrigenous siltstone and silty mudstone with intervals of fine-grained sand and mud
