A core sample catcher for a coring tool includes at least one flap catcher member movably coupled to an inner barrel of the coring tool. The at least one flap catcher member is configured to move between a first position and a second position. A passageway extending through the inner barrel is at least substantially un-occluded by the at least one flap catcher member in the first position and at least partially occluded by the at least one flap catcher member in the second position. The core sample catcher also includes a piston member located and configured to retain the at least one flap catcher member in the first position. The piston member is sized and configured to release the at least one flap catcher member as the piston is forced upward within the inner barrel by the core sample. Components are provided and assembled to form core sample catchers. |

A core sampler that complies with European Standard BS EN ISO 22457-1 and takes Class 1 samples, while being able to withstand forces associated with sonic drilling. The core sampler includes a smaller diameter, thin-walled sampler shoe portion that transitions to a larger diameter, thick-walled tube at a specific distance along the longitudinal axis of the core sampler. The smaller diameter shoe portion allows for an undisturbed sample, while the larger diameter tube imparts sufficient strength to the core sampler such that the core sampler can handle forces associated with sonic drilling techniques. Optionally, the larger diameter tube can provide the thickness needed for a liner. |

Test equipment is deployed from a floating vessel or the like, the test equipment comprising testing apparatus for determining geotechnical, geophysical, geochemical, geological characteristics, and soil penetrator which forms an exploratory hole. The testing apparatus also includes at least one sensor or sampler. The test equipment being deployed by coiled tubing or the like, the one end of the coiled tubing being attached to the vessel. The test equipment is of sufficient weight to keep itself and the coiled tubing above it substantially vertical. The test equipment is also kept correctly orientated by a structure resting substantially on the seabed. A heave compensatior, such as one or more winching lines at a constant load tension which are attached to and support the coiled tubing. A casing can be attached to the test equipment and introduced to the exploratory hole by the soil penetrator. Such test equipment can be deployed at two separate locations simultaneously from the same vessel. |

The invention comprises an improved self-contained, environmentally isolated, multi-parametric measuring apparatus and method for sampling and determining the dynamic loading characteristics of a soil bed. The apparatus is specially adapted to withstand the extreme pressures of deep water applications. In operation, a drill string presses the apparatus of the invention into a soil bed at an uncontrolled rate resulting in a variable penetration rate. The apparatus has a self-contained data acquisition system that measures and records, as a function of time, the force exerted on the sampling apparatus and the depth of penetration as the drill string presses the sampling apparatus into the soil bed. Data is provided that enables the user to determine the static soil characteristics (e.g., shear strength and stress-strain characteristics) and the dynamic loading characteristics of the soil bed. The apparatus captures a sample of the soil for laboratory analysis. The data collected provides information on the quality of the sample and location of defects in the sample which would affect laboratory test results. The apparatus is self-contained and operates independently of surface telemetry. The method of the invention may be performed in less time than known systems and can be advantageously performed from a floating platform, because the apparatus of the invention is self-compensating and not adversely affected by variable sea states. |
