Summer 2013, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (OD), henceforth referred to as the Awarding Authority, plans to conduct core drilling at the Jan Mayen ridge (south of the island Jan Mayen) where the objective is to increase the knowledge of the geology in the area. The plan includes drilling of shallow holes (less than 200 m below the seabed at Jan Mayen). The Awarding Authority expects drilling of approx. 6 drilling holes with an operation period of 40 days.
The water depth in the area varies between approx. 550 and 1 800 m. The drilling locations are selected by the Awarding Authority’s geological professionals. The Awarding Authority requires an external scientific coordinator connected to the technical implementation of the drillings (selection of technical systems, participation in the drilling mission). The Awarding Authority uses Mercell Sourcing Service in this tender procedure.
