Summary
Abstract: Measurement of the downhole velocity of the CIROS-1 drillhole after the completion of drilling by lowering a hydrophone down the drillhole was unsuccessful due to equipment failure. Determination of the dip, faults and strong reflectors in the geologic structure in the immediate vicinity of the CIROS-1 drillhole was conducted using seismic reflection techniques. Testing of various seismic ... View entire text
