Since 1968, when the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) began its worldwide scientific drilling and coring operations aboard the D/V GLOMAR CHALLENGER, the Project has been at the forefront of deep ocean technology exploring the geologic history of the earth. In August, 1975, DSDP accepted a new challenge, the International Phase of Ocean Drilling (IPOD). Crucial to this new deep-ocean challenge was the refinement of the Project's deep-water re-entry hardware to permit penetration of the volcanic basement underlying the ocean floor. This paper covers the analysis, design, and operation of DSDP's deep water re-entry cone/dual casing hanger system developed in 1975.
