Geological and operational summary, southern California: deep stratigraphic test OCS-CAL 75-70 No. 1, Cortes Bank area offshore southern California
The southern California deep stratigraphic test OCS-CAL 75-70 No. 1 was drilled on the northeast flank of Cortes Bank in projected Block 7N-54W of the southern California Outer Continental Shelf. The well was located in 348 ft of water about 50 miles southwest of San Clemente Island and 85 miles west of the southern California mainland coast. The well was drilled as a deep stratigraphic test to acquire further information on the stratigraphy, structure, and geochemistry of this unexplored area of the southern California Borderland. Well data, electric log interpretation and rock characteristics, stratigraphy, paleontology, geophysics, organic geochemical analysis of cores, and environmental considerations are discussed. (LK)
