Description
Summary:Project: Exploration drilling of the hole Raddedalen-1 (Edge Island, Spitzbergen Archipelago).Area of drilling: Edge Island, Svalbard Archipelago, area of the outcrop of Permian silicified limestone on the western shore of the river Kroks.Reasons for drilling:1. Study of geological-geophysical section of the hole.2. Obtaining information for regional geological reconstructions and for interpretation marine geophysical materials.3. Comprehensive study of properties, composition and lithologic-facial features of sedimentary rocks from the geological section.Technical results:The hole was drilled from 02.04.1971 till 10.07.1971. It has penetrated the section of 2823 m and stopped in Ordovician - Early Silurian deposits.Scientific results:1. Comprehensive lithologic and paleontological studies of drill samples from the hole have allowed to reveal lithologic features and to carry out detailed lithologic and stratigraphic sequence from Early Silurian - Ordovician to Late Permian sedimentary rocks.2. The hole has ...
