TDI-Brooks International Completes G&G Campaign Off Equatorial Guinea

The site survey work was performed off the R/V Proteus, a research vessel owned and operated by TDI-Brooks.

The goal was to assess seabed conditions prior to the emplacement of a drilling rig at three proposed locations (previously drilled) together with reconnaissance survey work at two additional platforms and along a number of proposed cable/pipeline routes. Survey objectives included the following:

• Undertake a Debris Clearance Survey (DCS) at each of the locations.

• Identify and establish areal nature of the previous spud can footprints.

• Establish the nature of the shallow soils, within the top 5m and to a depth of >20- 25m.

• Acquire deep CPT data >20m at two locations.

• Acquire representative data at nominal proposed Relief Well Locations (RWL).

• Reconnaissance of existing platforms and along proposed routes (single lines).
