The Geoquip Seehorn is due to be deployed in July to the Anning and Somerville fields within the Seaward production licence P2607 in the Southern Gas basin.

As part of geotechnical survey, Geoquip will validate the seabed and sub-seabed soil conditions to finalise the design and installation of the offshore facilities. This will help to ensure the safe location of the jack-up drilling rig at the two fields.

The survey will cover one 50m borehole at the jacket centres and one 30m borehole at each jack-up location leg centroid.

Geoquip will undertake in-situ geotechnical investigation and laboratory testing of seabed samples collected from selected preferred platform and jack-up drilling rig locations at the fields.
