Engineering report on drilling in the Owens Lake area, California
Description
The Owens Lake Drilling Project was conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation in support of the Department of Energy's (DOE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. This project consisted of eight drill holes ranging in depth from 420 to 3.500 feet (128.02 to 1,066.80 m). A total of 19,205 feet (5,853.68 m) was drilled, of which 135.5 feet (41.30 m) were cored. The purpose of the Owens Lake project was to test the uranium potential of the Coso formation, Pliocene (upper) and Pleistocene (lower) in areas downdip from known zones of mineralization. This project started on June 22, 2979 and continued until February 21, 1980. Restoration and seeding started on February 22, 1980 and was completed on March 1, 1980. Engineering details, statistics, individual borehole histories, and geophysical logs of the eight holes drilled in Owens Lake, California drilling program are presented
