... South East of St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada (Figure 1). Terra Nova is situated 40 lulometres South East of the I-hbema platfbrm. Water depth in the area is approximately 95 metres. Terra Nova has estimated recoverable reserves of up to 650 d l i o n barrels of od in three distinct fault blocks...

... capillary flow in all sediments except coarse sands. Increases in water depth cause an increase in the gas column height because gas density increases as pressure increases. However, as this effect is very small, the precautions required for operations in shallow gas areas on the continental shelf apply...

... wall gravity core sampling. A series of special tests have also been carried out where sampling in 1500 m water depth have been simulated in the laboratory. Based on these test series it has been possible to quantify the amount of disturbance caused by thick wall tube sampling, and the also by large...

... problems and premature ageing on the pipe. For the purposes of thls paper we are defmng 'medium deepwater' for water depths between the break in the continental slope (approx~rnately 200111) to 700m water depths. 'Deepwater' is defined as water depths greater than 700rn. Deepwater areas tend to be further...
