Bottom-hole assembly (BHA)









Coring: bit, bit sub, outer core barrel, top sub, head sub, 10 each 8¼-in drill collars, tapered drill collar, two stands of 5½-in drill pipe, cross-over Fishing: overshot with bit sub as required, 10-ft 8¼-in drill collar pup, 2-8 each 8¼-in drill collars, tapered drill collar, two stands of 5½-in drill pipe, cross-over Logging: reentry clean out bit, two each 8¼-in drill collars, landing/saver sub with modified landing ring for VSP, tapered drill collar, two stands of 5½ in drill pipe, cross-over
(Note: A total of three sets of drilling jars were used [placed in BHA with two collars above] until the units developed cracks and were taken out of service.)









Downhole tools/measurements (Orientation, temperature, water sampler, etc.)









Phase I of logging was conducted to 492 mbsf prior to coring. The BHA was placed at 49 mbsf and three tool strings were deployed: (1) natural gamma (NGS), accelerator porosity (APS), hostile environment lithodensity (HLDS), dual laterolog (DLL) and temperature tool; (2) NGS, dipole shear sonic imager (DSI) and Formation MicroScanner (FMS). This run was aborted due to data acquisition difficulties; (3) NGT, general purpose inclinometry tool (GPIT), and DLL. After drill pipe failure, Phase II logging went to 595 mbsf. This consisted of four tool string deployments with the following tools: (1) HLDT, caliper, APS, and HNGS; (2) NGT, DSI, GPIT, and FMS (same problem as before with FMS data); (3) NGT, GPIT, and DLL; (4) Schlumberger VSP-ASI.
