SITE SUMMARIES (CONTINUED)

Site: URS-3C
Priority:
Primary
Position:
28.09937740°N, 89.02520153°W
Water depth (m):
1321
Target drilling depth (mbsf):
238
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
238
Survey coverage:
• Morgus HR line 150
• Morgus HR trace 2928
Objectives:
Hydrodynamic analysis of a passive margin. Ursa sites will test the flow focusing model by drilling to 238 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:
None
MLWD program:
GVR, ADN, APWD
Nature of rock anticipated:
Hemipelagic mudstone

Site: URS-4A
Priority:
Secondary
Position:

237
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):
237
Survey coverage:
• Morgus HR line 150
