All right, you know the drill, people. Scatter formation.

Report templates are published through a reporting web portal so that users may either utilize the fixed format reports, drill through to detailed transactions to perform analyses or customize and publish their own reporting formats.

Deep-sea drilling remains the best way to sample the subsurface, but it is costly and there is a risk of contamination of the results from retrieved samples.57 However, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology's vessel “Chikyu”, with its blowout prevention system similar to those used on high-pressure oil wells, will maintain environmental safety against oil or gas spills while recovering sediment and rock cores.58 The Chikyu will be a state-of-the-art scientific drilling vessel equipped with 10,000 metres of drill string to allow the vessel to drill more than 7,000 metres beneath the sea floor, at a depth of 2,500 metres.59 A riser drilling system will make it possible to drill through formations that have been difficult to drill using current conventional scientific drilling methods.
