Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6241143

Boyles Brothers Drilling Company was the successful bidder on Contract SA-248 for the Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company. This contract was to core glaciofluvial sediments and Ringold formation down into the first basalt flow. Six wells were completed in this manner, and two wells were terminated early due to drilling problems. Core recovery was 71 percent of all formation drilled, and total footage drilled was 2,292 feet. The basalt flows encountered at the bottom of the six holes were geologically identified.
