Many offshore operations take place partly above the waterline – like installing foundations for offshore wind farms or transporting heavy cargoes. However, through our subsidiary Gardline Limited, we also perform work deep below the surface: subsea drilling.
Taking boreholes in an offshore wind farm or in an oil and gas field is necessary to map the seabed for our clients, so that they can further develop their plans. We recently did just that with our geotechnical survey vessel Horizon Geodiscovery in the North Sea. In a large oil and gas field, we drilled a total of 43 holes with an average depth of about 40 meters. With a total drilled depth of 1,800 meters – a record for Gardline on a single oil and gas project – we were able to present a total data set to the client.
We thank the client for their trust and the Horizon Geodiscovery crew and Gardline’s project team for their hard work.
