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.

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

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.”

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.
