2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2015 SWDWH JLYHV OSU FRUH VDPSOH FROOHFWLRQ By HILLARY BORRUD Capital Bureau Oregon State University researchers re- ceived an unusual gift in July — nearly 20 pallets of rock and sediment samples drilled at sites around the state. The core samples came from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Indus- tries, which researches geologic hazards such as earthquakes and also regulates min- ing and drilling . Of¿ cials looking for Eudget savings decided to seek a new home for the rock and sediment samples, which state ge- ologists had collected over decades of reg- ulating . Scientists at the agency and Oregon uni- versities said it was an important step to pre- serve geologic records for future research and mineral exploration. The University of Oregon paid the cost to move the core samples from $lEany to the core sample warehouse at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Mark Reed, a professor of geology at the University of Oregon, researches ore deposits and geothermal energy. Reed said he would Ee particularly interested in the samples drilled Ey companies exploring for geothermal energy. ³I¶d Ee thrilled to have access to a core like that,” Reed said. SLJQL¿ FDQW LQYHVWPHQW Clark Niewendorp, industrial minerals geologist at the Oregon Department of Geol- ogy and Mineral Industries, said drilling core samples is a signi¿ cant investment. “An oil well costs a couple hundred thou- sands of dollars to drill,” Niewendorp said. “(A core sample) has value in the future of just a storehouse of geologic information. It’s Moratorium lifted today on ColumEia River sturgeon ¿ shing The Daily Astorian a shame to throw that stuff out the door.” Reed said the cost to produce a new core sample can range “from hundreds of thou- sands into several millions, depending on how deep the hole and what the setting is.” “As scienti¿ c specimens, core is really valuaEle in that sense,” Reed said. “Now the question is, would anyEody ever want to look at it again? If the answer is no, then you’re wasting your time storing it.” Nick Pisias, emeritus professor of ocean- ography at Oregon State University and for- mer director of its core laEoratory, said there is signi¿ cant demand from researchers who want samples of the cores. The university’s core warehouse — which historically held mostly samples from Eeneath oceans and lakes — is funded Ey the National Science Foundation. “In a good year, we’ve given out 15,000 samples,” Pisias said. “We have samples that were taken in 1966, so they’re 50 years old plus or minus and people still are using these samples. So it’s a resource for people who are asking scienti¿ c questions aEout the environ- ment and aEout the earth.” &ROOHFWLRQ KDV JURZQ Since 1972, Oregon mine reclamation reg- ulations required operators to suEmit a well record “that included coring cuttings as they were gathered,” Niewendorp said. The materi- als remain con¿ dential for four years if they are from oil and gas well, and ¿ ve years if they are from geothermal wells. For example, Niewen- dorp said cores from geothermal exploration at NewEerry 9olcano in central Oregon will soon Eecome puElic records if the company that drilled them offers them to the state. The Capital Bureau is a collaboration be- tween EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group.
