Core-hole drilling and coal analysis report for nine holes drilled during 1977 in the Nucla coal field, Montrose County, Colorado

Sample material from shallow core hole drilling (187 core samples) and outcrops (more than 200 surface samples) were collected on Disko, Nugssuaq and Svartenhuk Halvø during the summer of 1976 in a joint field programme between GGU and the Research Group for Organic Geochemistry of the Nuclear Research Establishment (KFA), Jülich, Federal Republic of Germany (Schiener & Leythaeuser, 1978a). The samples have been studied in the laboratory both by organic geochemistry and by reflected light microscopy. The main objectives were the appraisal of the folIowing parameters: (1) Richness in organic matter. (2) Maturation. (3) Type of organic matter.

Logistic Support

As a continuation of the special investigations carried out in the Nûgssuaq embayment up to 1975 (Schiener, 1976), a joint field programme between GGU and the Petroleum & Organic Geochemistry Research Group (EOG) of the Nuclear Research Establishment (KFA) Jiilich, West Germany, was embarked upon in 1976. The programme was supported by a grant from the Danish Natural Science Research Council (SNF) and a contribution by KFA/EOG. It constitutes an essential part of a project within the SNF sponsored research in energy related topics (Organic Geochemistry, West Greenland). Overall coordination of the group was handled by E. J. S. who also carried out most of the surface sampling. A drilling party of four was led by D. L. Logistic support was provided by the GGU motor cutter K. J. V. Steenstrup with Andreas ViOstein as skipper and by an Agusta Bell Jet Ranger II, chartered from Greenlandair Charter A/S. The operations were conducted from the old GGU base at Marrait on Nugssuaq.
