Benthic’s PROD2 (portable remotely operated drill) executed the geotechnical work scope from theMMA Valour in 4Q 2018. The PROD2 collected geotechnical borehole samples and cone penetration test (CPT) to 100-m (328-ft) penetrations, seismic probes to 40 m (131 ft), and a range of 40 m of CPTs in water depths ranging from 700 m to 1,040 m (2,297 ft to 3,412 ft).
