HOUSTONTechnipFMC has contracted Acteon subsidiary Benthic to perform a geotechnical and geophysical survey program for the deepwater Golfinho gas development offshore Mozambique.

The subsea system will be tied back to an onshore liquefied natural gas plant under construction by Total and its partners.

For the first time, Benthic is deploying two portable remotely operated drill (PROD) units for fieldwork.

The PROD1 with tracks (TracPROD) is being used in the shallow-water geotechnical locations from Solstad’s Nor Captain anchor-handling tug supply vessel, while the PROD2 unit will be used in deepwater geotechnical locations from the MMA Valour multi-purpose platform supply vessel.

Both will collect geotechnical borehole samples and conduct in-situ piezocone penetration tests at various locations across the planned development.
