TDI-Brooks International, Inc. has completed a geophysical and geotechnical (G&G) campaign for Trident Equatorial Guinea off the coast of Equatorial Guinea in the Elon Field. The site survey work was performed off the R\/V Proteus, a research vessel owned and operated by TDI-Brooks.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Undertake a Debris Clearance Survey (DCS) at each of the locations.
\n\u2022 Identify and establish areal nature of the previous spud can footprints.
\n\u2022 Establish the nature of the shallow soils, within the top 5m and to a depth of >20- 25m.
\n\u2022 Acquire deep CPT data >20m at two locations.
\n\u2022 Acquire representative data at nominal proposed Relief Well Locations (RWL).
\n\u2022 Reconnaissance of existing platforms and along proposed routes (single lines).<\/p>\n

In addition to a site survey, TDI-Brooks completed gCPT measurements at two proposed drill sites. The purpose of the TDI-Brooks Gravity CPT (gCPT) tool is to transport a precisely calibrated memory cone penetrometer down to the seabed to gather dynamic PCPT cone data from the mud line to 10+ m BML. In addition to its 1,800lb driving head with lifting bale and trigger, the rig comprises a self-contained PCPT cone penetrometer that measures tip resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and pore pressure (u2) using standard ASTM dimensions and protocols for its 15-cm2 cone.<\/p>\n
