The report discusses the first continental offshore stratigraphic test (COST) well drilled in the Navarin Basin. The well was drilled to determine the hydrocarbon potential of the area covered by OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) Lease Sale 83, held in April 1984. The report covers drilling operations, shallow geology and geohazards, paleontology and biostratigraphy, lithology, velocity analysis, seismic stratigraphy, the bottom-simulating reflector, well log analysis, abnormal pressure, geothermal gradient, organic geochemistry, and environmental considerations. The report synthesizes the regional geology and basin evolution in light of the subsurface data available from this large potential petroleum province.
