Notes: Seafloor depth = prospectus water depth plus 11.0 m adjustment from water line to rig floor (i.e., drillers depth). Honolulu port call is assumed to be only 4.0 days. Expedition is expected to end on the morning of 23 June 2009 (49.0 operating days). Site PEAT-8C is only planned as a single hole with logging. Time permitting, additional holes could be drilled. Logging times include hole preparation, rig-up/down, etc. Actual wireline times are shown in parentheses. APC = advanced piston corer, XCB = extended core barrel, APCT = third-generation advanced piston corer temperature tool, DVTP = Davis-Villinger Temperature Probe, triple combo = triple combination tool string, FMS-sonic = Formation MicroScanner-sonic tool string.
