EGER is drilling again!
EGER is drilling again! Last Friday the S4 Bazina Liba Borehole started coring in Czechia. After 46 m the borehole diameter was switched from 140 mm to PQ. Core recovery is very high bringing good quality cores to deck. On Wednesday evening a drill depth of 74 m was reached. - (inserted: 03.12.2021 08:47)
