Diagramatic concept of the offset drilling method for the Newark Basin Coring Project (NBCP) cores. The sites are selected so that coring is spudded in a known stratigraphic marker bed and then proceeds to another mapped unit near the bottom of the hole. The next site is picked to spud into marker bed encountered near the base of the previous core hole. The sites were planned so that there was about 25% overlap between stratigraphically adjacent cores.
