  • the invention relates, but is not limited, to automatically actuating subsea downhole logging tools that may be used to determine downhole lithology.
  • seafloor drilling particularly in fairly deep bodies of water (e.g. 1 ,000m to 3,000m+), is a relatively complicated, time consuming, and expensive operation.
  • Remotely operated seafloor systems typically connected * to a surface vehicle or platform by an 'umbilical' line, with a seafloor drilling rig have been known to be used for such drilling operations.
  • a seafloor drilling rig typically includes a frame that provide support for various components such as a drill head support structure which would usually include a drill string capable of drilling a borehole in the seafloor.
  • One aspect of seafloor drilling that is identified as being particularly onerous is in determining the lithology of the seafloor deposits.
  • the lithology is determined by drilling, obtaining, and analysing core samples.
  • a core barrel on the end of a drill string is used to obtain a core sample.
  • the core sample from the core barrel must then be retrieved. Typically this involves the retrieval of the entire drill string each time a core sample is recovered. The time and cost associated with recovering the core samples in this manner renders core drilling impractical for deep bores.

  • This time delay can be significant, and introduces a substantial inefficiency in understanding the characteristics of a borehole.
  • One result of the time delay is that boreholes are often drilled past an optimum 'end of hole' (EOH) depth during drilling operations. This results in wasted drilling time and resources.
