Peten-Itza Scientific Drilling Project
3-FEB-2006: Yesterday, the platform GLAD800 anchored at the first site
PI-2. Today, the first core was on deck at 2:28 PM (20:28 GMT).
21-FEB-2006: This night we scored a hat-trick with the completion of the
third site, PI-3. Wendesday morning the barge will be towed to PI-4, our deepest
site.
11-MAR-2006: The Peten Itza Scientific Drilling Project has finished the
last hole and site of the project. Without enough time to move to an additional
site, the team finished drilling today with 1327 meters of core in the reefer.
Demobilization will begin shortly. We would like to thank everyone involved in
the project for their support. Each of you has helped make this project
successful.
Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure Drilling Project
15-SEP-2005: The drill rig is now in
operation at the ICDP-USGS Eyreville corehole site near Cape Charles, Virginia!
The first sediment cores were produced at 4:19 p.m. local time on Thursday,
Sept. 15, 2005. Site geologists described the first core as upper Miocene
shelly clay-silt with lots of shells. Recovery is good.
5-OCT-2005: Coring continued today below a depth of 2,850 ft (869
m).
6-NOV-2005: The drill bit passed a depth of 4,200 ft (1,280 m),
still in granite.
13-NOV-2005: The corehole section has become increasingly interesting, as we
are now drilling in suevite below a depth of about 1.4 km.
23-NOV-2005: The drill bit passed below the mile mark (5,280 ft, 1,609 m)
in the early afternoon of November 23 as coring continued in lithic breccia
and larger lithic clasts. Additional drilling funds have been received by
the
Project from ICDP, USGS, and the Solar System Division of the NASA
Science Mission Directorate. Coring is now expected to continue into
the early days of December.
4-DEC-2005: Coring ended at about 8:00 a.m., local time, on December 4 at
a final depth of 5,795 ft (1.1 miles, 1.77 km). Geophysical logging began soon
after the end of coring.

San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth
(SAFOD)
11-JUN-2004: The SAFOD main
hole has been spud in successfully.
06-OCT-2004: Phase 1 of the SAFOD main
hole drilling has been finished successfully.
06-JUN-2005: The rig up for Phase 2 of the SAFOD main
hole drilling has been completed successfully.
03-AUG-2005: Yesterday, August 2nd, at about 18:35 PDT, we drilled through a
very significant fault zone located about 100m SW of the San Andreas surface
trace ...
28-AUG-2005:
Phase 2
of SAFOD comes to a close following the successful completion of last night’s
hydraulic fracture test. Phase 3 (continuous coring of multi-laterals) will get
underway during the summer of 2007.

Lake Qinghai Drilling Project
17-JUL-2005: Today is an important day for LQDP, because the
GLAD-800 has been built and a ship is going to drag it to the drilling site.
24-JUL-2005: Drilling started at site 2.
07-AUG-2005: The crew began a new hole LQDP-1A on site 1. They
have got cores about 16 meters.
05-SEP-2005: The drilling project is near the
end. They tow the barge to the dock today.

Lake Malawi Drilling Project
24-FEB-2005: Preparation of the Viphya barge in Chipoka before
the cruise on Lake Malawi.
20-MAR-2005: OSG downhole logging has been completed sucessfully.
15-APR-2005:
Press release - long
cores recovered from Lake Malawi.

Scientific Drilling Project HSDP-2b
01-NOV-2004: The HSDP-2b phase started with the necessary
remedial work to prpepare the hole for the next coring section.
15-DEC-2004: At the end of the
day today, we recovered our first run of core! We drilled it in the morning, but
had to try twice to latch onto the core barrel at the bottom of the hole. Our
current depth at the time of this report is 10,205.4 feet. Now that coring has
begun, we have switched to nonstop drilling operations to maximize that amount
of core we can recover before we take a break for the holidays. Stay tuned for a
report of tomorrow's activities...
23-FEB-2005: The bottom of the hole
is currently 10,958 feet. The drilling operation has been stopped.
