		Pressure						
Core	Depth (mbsf)	Expected (psig)	Observed (psig)	Hydrostatic (%)	Cutting shoe	Core recovered (cm)	Manifold design	Total gas released (mL)

164-996A-								
7P	47.5	3253	3328	102	Push-in	0.2	PCS-M4	5415

164-996D-

"Notes: The water depth at Holes 996A, 996D, and 996E is 2170 m. Expected pressure is the hydrostatic pressure, assuming a pressure gradient of 1.467 psi/m. "								
"Observed pressure is that first recorded at the PCS sampling station. * = although no core was observed, there must have been a core recovered to release 8100 mL of gas (see text)."
