SITE SUMMARIES (CONTINUED)
Site: URS-1B
Priority:
|
Primary
|
Position:
|
28.07974007°N, 89.13930517°W
|
Water depth (m):
|
1057
|
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
|
612
|
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
|
612
|
Survey coverage:
|
Morgus HR line 150
Morgus HR trace 1100
|
Objectives:
|
Hydrodynamic analysis of a passive margin. Ursa sites will test the flow-focusing model by drilling to 612 mbsf (20 m above the predicted top of the Blue Unit) in an overpressured region where overburden is thick (URS-1B) and where it is thinner (URS-2C, URS-3C).
|
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 interbedded levee sands
|
