The boreholes for the PSG experiment were drilled in January 2004. The core material from the injection borehole was found to be completely homogenous matrix to a depth of around 1.3 metres. The cores from the injection borehole are shown below.

Sections from the cores were sent to Finland for lab based porosity measurements (see the Support of in-situ test section).
