Site summaries (continued)

Proposed Site CB-04C
Priority:
Alternate for CB-04B
Position:
44°57.8052´S, 172°03.6799´E
Water depth (m):
713
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
1500
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
Pending approval
Survey coverage:
EW00-01-60 (CDP 1338), no crossing line
• Track map (Fig AF1)
• Seismic profile (Fig AF11)
• Location map (Fig. F3)
Objective (see text for details):
Sample slope facies of progradational sequence boundaries, particularly Unconformities U6–U9, U11, and U13–16 (Late Miocene to early Pliocene)
Sample Marshall Paraconformity (Oligocene) and top of Amuri Limestone (late Eocene)
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 depths
• RCB coring to 1500 mbsf
• wireline log (triple combo, FMS-sonic)
• VSP with VSI
Anticipated lithology:
0–1282 mbsf: Terrigenous siltstone and silty mudstone with intervals of fine-grained sand and mud
1282 mbsf (or slightly shallower)–1500 mbsf: Limestone
