SITE SUMMARIES (CONTINUED)

Site: BT4-1B
Priority:
Secondary
Position:
27.36771232°N, 94.35774732°W
Water depth (m):
1405
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
300
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
300
Survey coverage:
• Rudder 2-D dipline 3020
• Shotpoint 284.00
• Rudder 2-D crossline 3019
Objectives:
Hydrodynamic analysis of a passive margin. Brazos-Trinity Basin #4 sites are to serve as a reference location to establish basic rock and fluid properties over a range of effective stresses in a normally pressured section.
Drilling program:
APC to refusal with drillover and XCB
Wireline logging program:
Triple combo, FMS-sonic, VSP
MWD program:
GVR, ADN, APWD
Nature of rock anticipated:
Hemipelagic mudstone with some unconsolidated turbidite sand
