본 연구에서는 통가 해역 라우분지의 열수 광상 가능성이 있는 해산들에 대하여 자력탐사가 수행되었다. 그 중 TA 09 해산에 대하여 심해견인 자력탐사가 실시되었으며 심해견인 자력탐사는 정밀한 탐사를 위하여 해저면에서 약 50 ~ 60 m 고도를 유지하며 자력계를 견인하였다. 탐사지역의 총 자력 성분은 Overhauser Proton Magnetomer (모델 SeaSPY 300(해상자력계)m, SeaSPY 6000(심해견인자력계))를 이용하여 측정되었다. 탐사 해산들 중 해상자력탐사와 심해자력탐사가 같이 수행된 TA 09 해산과 주요 열수 광상 유망 지역으로 분류되는 TA 12, 26 해산에 대해서만 측정된 지자기값을 이용하여 자기이상도를 구하였으며 자화역산법을 이용하여 자화이상도를 제작하고 분석하였다. TA 09 해산과 TA 26 해산에서의 해상 자기이상도는 쌍극자 이상형태의 단순이상을 보이며 TA 12 해산에서는 정상부에 고이상이 나타나고 그 주변으로는 저이상대가 분포하고 있다. TA 09 해산에서의 해상자력계에 의한 자기이상치와 심해견인자력계에 의한 자기이상치를 비교하여 보면 거의 10배 이상의 해상도 차이를 보여준다. 연구지역 탐사해산들의 해저지형과 비교하여 보면 열수분출대의 가능성이 높은 저자화이상대들은 주로 해산의 정상부 및 정상부 칼데라와 그 칼데라 주변부에 주로 위치하고 있는 모습을 나타내고 있다. 향후 타 탐사 해산들에 대한 자기이상에 대한 정밀처리/분석 후 탄성파 탐사결과, 암석샘플의 결과 및 지화학결과 등과 비교하여 열수광상의 존재 여부 및 위치 추정 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The shortage of proven hydrocarbon reserves has resulted in exploration progressing from the offshore into progressively deeper water of the continental shelf. Despite the success of seismic acquisition at ever greater depths, there are marine geological terrenes in which the interpretation of seismic data is difficult, such regions dominated by scattering or high reflectivity that is characteristic of carbonate reefs, volcanic cover and submarine permafrost. A marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) method has recently been applied to the oil and gas exploration thanks to its high-resistivity characteristics of the hydrocarbon. In particular, this method produces better results in terms of sensitivity under the deep water environment rather than the shallow water. Only in the last five years has the relevance of CSEM been recognized by oil companies who now use it to help them make exploration drilling decisions. Initial results are most promising and several contractors now offer magnetotelluric and CSEM services.

Cruiser Dmitri Donskoi was constructed in 1895. During the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), she was damaged in an attack by Japanese destroyers at the battle of Tsushima, and scuttled in the east sea of Ulleungdo, Korea Peninsula on the 29th May 1905. In 2003, Dmitri Donskoi was found at the distance of 2 km off the east coast of Ulleung Island and at the depth of 400 m. Archival research was performed as the preliminary study for investigating the sunken ship.

We conducted magnetic survey using IBRV (Ice Breaker Research Vessel) ARAON of KORDI (Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute), ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) of Oceaneering Co. and three components vector magnetometer, at Apr., 2011 in the western slope of the caldera of TA25 seamount, the Lau Basin, the southwestern Pacific. The depth ranges of the survey area are from about 900 m to 1200 m, below sea level. For the deep sea magnetic survey, we made the nation's first small deep sea three components magnetometer of Korea. The magnetometer sensor and the data logger was attached with the upper part and lower part of ROV, respectively. ROV followed the planning tracks at 25 ~ 30 m above seafloor using the altimeter and USBL (Ultra Short Base Line) of ROV. The three components magnetometer measured the X (North), Y (East) and Z (Vertical) vector components of the magnetic field of the survey area. A motion sensor provided us the data of pitch, roll, yaw of ROV for the motion correction of the magnetic data. The data of the magnetometer sensor and the motion sensor were recorded on a notebook through the optical cable of ROV and the network of ARON. The precision positions of magnetic data were merged by the post-processing of USBL data of ROV. The obtained three components magnetic data are entirely utilized by finding possible hydrothermal vents of the survey area.

General aspects of deepwater petroleum exploration and production were identified and related technical challenges were addressed. Historical perspectives, insight, processes, and engineering applications are reviewed to enhance the design capability of the domestic offshore industry. The technical challenges and unique aspects of deepwater exploration and production were identified. The assessment of deepwater exploration, drilling, and production systems is a key stage for performing the front end engineering design (FEED). The global trends in deepwater development, including the feasibility for Korea, were reviewed.

Dmitri Donskoi, the Russian cruiser launched in 1883, is known to have sunk near Ulleung Island (East Sea, Korea) on May 29, 1905, while it was participating in the Russo-Japanese War. In order to find this ship, information about its possible location was obtained from Russian and Japanese maritime historical records. The supposed location of the ship was identified, and we conducted a five-year geophysical survey from 1999 to 2003. A reconnaissance three-dimensional topographic survey of the sea floor was carried out using multi-beam echo sounder, marine magnetometer, and side-scan sonar. An anomalous body identified through the initial reconnaissance survey was identified by a detailed survey using a remotely operated vehicle, deep-sea camera, and the mini-submarine Pathfinder. Interpretation of the acquired data showed that the ship is hanging on the side of a channel, at the bottom of the sea 400 m below sea level. The location is about 2 km from Port Jeodong, Uleung Island. We discovered 152 mm naval guns and other war materiel still attached to the hull of the ship. In addition, the remnants of the steering gear and other machinery that were burnt during the final action were found near the hull. Strong magnetic fields, resulting from the presence of volcanic rocks in the survey area, affected the resolution of the magnetic data gathered; as a result, we could not locate the ship reliably using the magnetic method. Severe sea floor topography in the gully around the hull gave rise to diffuse reflections in the side-scan sonar data, and this prevented us from identifying the anomalous body with the side-scan sonar technique. However, the sea-floor image obtained from the multi-bean echo sounder was very useful in verifying the location of the ship.
