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

Site: URS-2C
Priority:
Primary
Position:
28.09124346°N, 89.07252124°W
Water depth (m):
1262
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
358
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
358
Survey coverage:
• Morgus HR line 150
• Morgus HR trace 2170
Objectives:
Hydrodynamic analysis of a passive margin. Ursa sites will test the flow focusing model by drilling to 358 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).
