COLLEGE STATION, Texas – TDI-Brooks has completed a geotechnical site investigation for Beacon Exploration & Production LLC (BOE) at the Shenandoah field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
The project consisted of ‘heavy’ geotechnical coring/cone penetration testing (CPT) with the company’s research vessel the Gyre. The project included the acquisition of 20-m (66-ft) Jumbo Piston coring, 40-m (131-ft) CPT-Stinger samples, and 40-m Shelby-tube Stinger samples. Other piston, box core and gravity CPT samples were acquired.
The Shenandoah field development project is in the Walker Ridge (WR) area in water depths ranging from 1,768 to 1,920 m (5,800 to 6,300 ft). It will be developed as a subsea tieback from a drill center in WR-51 to a new build floating production system in WR-52.
The company said it worked closely with BOE and BSEE in expediting the permit. Following completion of the geotechnical coring campaign, TDI-Brooks shipped the soil samples back to its certified soil testing laboratory in College Station, Texas, for the post-survey onshore testing and completion of a factual testing report.
