Priority: Contingency
Position: 8.488790°N, 84.128218°W
Water depth (m): 2000
Target drilling depth (mbsf): 800
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf): 980

• Track map (Fig. AF1)
• Seismic profile (Fig. AF4)
• Location map (Fig. F2)
Objective: Alternate for Site CRIS-2B. Penetration of décollement at shallow level, fluid flow regime, oceanic crust.
Drilling and logging program: • APC to refusal, then XCB to 500 mbsf.
• RCB from 490 to 980 mbsf.
• Conduct wireline logging or LWD/LWC.
Nature of rock anticipated: Sediments: mud and silt, mud-supported breccia, and basaltic flows
