New drilling technologies revolutionize scientific ocean exploration and discovery.
New technologies in scientific ocean drilling are crucial for achieving research goals. These advancements allow for drilling in wider and deeper water areas, obtaining various samples from rocks to fluids, and improving core recovery. The use of new coring technologies and tools like LWD provide real-time information from the subseafloor. Additionally, new measuring tools are being developed to meet the demands of downhole measurements, and long-term observation tools are in the works to minimize drilling disturbances.
