2020 programme

Shallow boreholes on the Fåvne, Gnitahei and Mohns Treasure deposits on the Mohns Ridge in the Norwegian Sea.

The seabed topography was very challenging and water depths exceeded 3000 m.

The assignment was realised very fast as a result of extra appropriations from the Government in connection with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
