Site summary

Site U1309

Priority: 1
Position: 30°10.12′N, 42°7.11′W
Water depth (m): 1645
Target drilling depth (mbsf): Not applicable, reoccupy existing hole, no new penetration
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf): Not applicable, reoccupy existing hole, no new penetration
Survey coverage (track map; seismic profile): Primary line: Meg 4, CMP 4145 closest, ~400 m to east Crossing line: Meg 10, ~1.8 km north (Track map Fig. F1, Seismic profiles Fig. F2)
Objective(s): Borehole logging in existing Hole U1309D:
Undisturbed temperature profile
Assess condition of hole for future wireline reentry and seismic work
Sonic logging and zero-offset VSP
Magnetic susceptibility logging
Drilling program: Not applicable, reoccupy existing hole, no new penetration
Logging/downhole measurements program: Triple combo including MTT to determine borehole condition and temperature, and to identify intervals for positioning VSI.
Order of following tool strings to be determined by timing of operations, so that VSP is conducted during daylight hours.
Sonic tool string
VSI tool string for zero-offset VSP
MSS tool string, time and temp permitting
Nature of rock anticipated: Not applicable, reoccupy existing hole, no new penetration
