Abstract:
The oceans and their underlying sediments and rocks act as natural laboratories that record the Earth's dynamic processes from past to present. Scientific deep-ocean drilling, sampling and borehole measurements collected during the past 40 years are enhancing our knowledge of the Earth, giving clues to the distribution of mineral resources, to global climate change and to potential natural disasters. While some technologies used in the oil and gas industry are deployed for scientific research, other methods and tools developed specifically for deep-ocean drilling are also finding applications in the energy industry.
