penetrate the Domanic deposits

...which will allow to penetrate the Domanic deposits
Peer comment(s):

disagree Christine Tomei (X) : "allow to penetrate" is poor collocation, should be "allow penetrating"
6 mins
Is 'poor collocation' a sufficient reason to disagree HERE? Now,you really made my day :-) This question is not about grammar, it's about a technical term and I believe I provided the right one.
neutral Cornelius Gillen : allow the Domanik sediments to be penetrated. (note correct spelling of Domanik (this is a rock formation)
18 mins
Like I said, it's NOT about collocation or spelling. // See that? The correct spelling is DOMANIC :-)
neutral Jack slep : Domanic? Didn't know Russian had a "c" (cee) except "c" (ess). Google Google again for Domanik as related to shale,etc.

expose, penetrate

This well will be drilled to a minimum target depth which makes it possible to expose deposits of Domanic formation

thank you!
disagree Cornelius Gillen : i have to disagree - the spelling according to international sources is Domanik - this name was given to the formation by the Scottish geologist Sir Roderick Murchison when he worked in the Urals; the rock formation consists of black bituminous shales etc

could you please google Domanik and Domanic and see what happens

v: to penetrate the productive formation after the casing is set and cemented on top of the pay zone. Dominik, Dominik beds, suites, formation, Upper Devonian, named by Murchison, Verneuil, and Keyserling, 1845, after the local name of dark clay and calcarious-clay bituminous/oil shales on S. Timan. It is also called the Chut Suite (Likhareva, 1931, obsolete) after a river of that name, a tributary of the Ukhta River, S. Timan.

Note to Congillen: Thanks for the update. However,
the 2 vol. Russian Geologicheskii Slovar' (Izd. Nedra, Moscow, 1973 gives long, entirely different definitions of svita (suite) and formatsiya (formation), close to ours. In any event, it's Domanik deposits (otlozheniya) here. Google it and also "Images for Domanik Suite formation."I think translators/others hesitate to use "suite" because of its nongeological meanings.

Congillen, at age 85 and 65 years as a R>E translator regulary,daily of 70 different scientific/technical journals (finally retired in past August!), I've found that at least 75% of words now used didn't exist at the start. In Geology, the Moscow, 1960 Stratigraphic Classification and Terminology, R>E, devoted 3 pages to "suite," prec eded by "seriya" ("serIes") and followed by "pachka" ("packet")," and also "gorizont" (horizon"); then of free use: "kompleks" ("complex",) "tolshcha" ("group of strata"),
again "gorizont" (without its own geographical name), "sloi" (beds without its own geo. name); "pachka" (without numerical and alphabetical indication) and "plast" (stratum in stratigraphy) Special stratigraphic and temporal terminology is used for ingneous and Precambrian formations. I don't agree with some of the English geological translations of stratigraphic/lithostraigraphic terms therein. Language lives, evolves, but geological terms used for ages are set--should a rock be called a rockstar? LOL. Excuse misspellings: at 85 I'm happy to see the keyboard, remember the alphabet, that one axon can find a dendrite for intercourse--oops, synapse.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Cornelius Gillen : I repeat that the correct term is Domanik Formation (not Dominik and not suites, certainly); also, calcareous not calcarious

Yes, excuse misspellings. See 1280 page Stratigraphic Dictionary of the USSR, Moscow, 1956, wherein is Domanik Suite, suite being a collection of rock specimens from a single area, or of a single kind, or a succession of associated sedimentary strata.
agree svetlana cosquéric : ... formations, в вопросе автора нет слова "Доманиковые", :), оно только в контексте

Thank you, Svetlana
neutral Vlad_econ : "pachka" ("packet") ... International Stratigraphic Guide - An abridged version (1994) introduces "Пачка" as "Member—named lithologic subdivision of a formation" (Chapter 5, C. Kinds of lithostratigraphic Units). Is it a reliable source?
6 days
Member is the correct translation, being a lithostratigraphic unit of subordinate rank, comprising some special developed part of a formation

доманиковая свита (доманик, доманиковые слои, доманиковый горизонт) Domanik Formation (Beds, Horizon) (L. Frasnian, U. Devonian; goniatite facies (Manticoceras, Timanites, etc.), black oil shales alternating with dark bituminous limestones; Timan, West Urals, Novaya Zemlya, East Russian Platform, complete section in Ukhta region, Komi Republic; name first proposed by Murchison in 1845; ‘domanik’ thought to be German modification of ‘доманит domanite’, i.e. producing smoke (dym дым), since the oil shales produce a lot of smoke when burned; also, found in R. Domanik, S. Timan)

note to Jack - thanks very much; however, Suite is used in Russian texts (svita свита), but the international English term is Formation, as can be found in the more recent Russian stratigraphic code (2003 VSEGEI) by Zhamoida, and the English original and Russian translation of the short international code (Murphy & Salvador, 2002) all free to download from internet

and another note to Jack, if I may ! Have you consulted the 2010-2012 version of the Russian Geological Dictionary (3 volumes, VSEGEI, St Petersburg - and it is online, by the way), and the other 3-volume work, the Russian Encyclopaedia of Geology (2010-2012also VSEGEI, but not online unfortunately)? - there is a lot of discussion about svita/suite and formatsiya/formation. And I agree, there is a lot of confusion in English and Russian about suite (a suite of rocks) and formation, since they can be used in formal and informal senses. Both words were borrowed by Russian, but can be used in quite the opposite sense from their original meanings. Language is like that, i guess ?

agree El oso : Instead of going on a disagreeing spree, why don't you just post your own answer and get this over with? :-) // That wasn't very hard, was it? :-) I tend to disagree with the 'expose' part, though. Cheers!

This well will be drilled to the minimum target depth, which will make it possible to expose deposits of the Domanik Formation.
disagree Inga Velikanova : Kinda respected but not reliable source. PLEASE PLEASE google geological sources

Google is not always reliable. River Domanik, hence Domanik Formation. I now offer this: This well will be drilled to the minimum target depth, which will make it possible to reach deposits of the Domanik Formation
neutral Vlad_econ : "Suite is used in Russian texts ...". Not only. International Stratigraphic Guide, abridged version, states that "the term “suite” ... has been commonly used for associations of comagmatic intrusive igneous rock bodies of similar or related lithologies"
7 days
Agreed; but in the case here, the Domanik Formation is made of sedimentary rocks; in English we do use suite for igneous rocks; and agree with your other point, Member is the unit below Formation in the hierarchy; yes, the Int. Guide is reliable
