Objective
The purpose of HYACINTH is to put the HYACE system, developed for the sampling and study of gas hydrates, to operational use. Participation in two scientific drilling operations is planned: (a) Leg 204 of the Ocean Drilling Program in summer 2002, (b) On a small geotechnical drill ship in European waters in summer 2003 or 2004. Techniques for the preservation of hydrate cores will be explored. Continued engineering development will be carried out in order to provide the means of sub-sampling the cores under pressure. Sub-samples are needed for chemical, microbiological and petrophysical study, Uncontaminated sub-samples will be provided for the study of the deep sub-seafloor biosphere, opening up the possibility of studying barophilic microorganisms. Improved techniques will be developed for the resistivity imaging of hydrate cores under pressure.
