Survey coverage: |
Multichannel seismic data collected by the Ewing (EW-0102) in 2001 using a 10-gun array with 3100 in3 (51 L) capacity. Shot spacing = 37.5 m. The 6 km streamer had 480 channels, and data were sampled every 4 ms. (See Fig. F6) |
|
Objectives: |
Core through basalt carapace overlying detachment fault. Continue through fault zone as deep as possible. |
|
Drilling program: |
• Install hard rock reentry system to • Rotary core to • Advanced diamond core to • Open hole and install casing to • Core as deep as possible through detachment fault See "Primary Site: Proposed Site AMHW-01A" |
|
Logging program: |
Three logging runs: • Triple combination tool string • Formation MicroScanner/Dipole Sonic Imager tool string • Ultrasonic Borehole Imager |
|
Nature of rock anticipated: |
Basalt, fault gouge, serpentinized peridotite, gabbro |
