kISMET Core Photos and Descriptions
These core photos and descriptions were taken from the five boreholes that were drilled as part of the kISMET SubTER project conducted at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. The boreholes are subvertical in orientation, and were drilled on the 4850 level of SURF on the West Drift, about 450 feet from Governor's Corner. The well heads for the five wells are in a line, but the outer two wells (k001 and k005) were deviated to form a five-spot configuration at 50 m depth. Four of the five boreholes have a nominal depth of 50 m and have HQ core - the fifth, located in the center (k003) was drilled to a depth of 100m and has NQ core. The central borehole was used for stress and hydraulic fracturing - the other four boreholes were used for monitoring purposes. Core logging was conducted by Paul Cook (LBNL), Bill Roggenthen (SDSMT), and Drew Siler (LBNL). All core consists of rocks from the Poorman Formation. Some of the core photos are missing. These have been documented in the included spreadsheets labeled with the well name and the word missing. The locations of the boreholes are documented on the included map and spreadsheet.
