Rotary Drilling and Coring in Permafrost. Part III. Deep Core Drilling, Core Analysis and Bore Hole Thermometry at Cape Thompson, Alaska

Two holes were successfully drilled and cored to depths of 1000 ft and 1200 ft in the frozen mudstone of the Tiglukpuk formation at Cape Thompson, Alaska. Permafrost extends to a depth of approximately 1000 ft. The hole walls were successfully stabilized, even in zones of very weak rock, by the use...
