Supported by Chevron and Statoil, Geoprober is developing innovative deepwater exploration drilling system, combining the technologies of casing drilling and coil tubing drilling, deployed from a monohull vessel.

Slimming the well architecture significantly reduces the size and weight of the equipment thus reducing size and cost of the deployment vessel. The resulting system provides a low cost alternative to drilling with 5th and 6th generation drillships and semi-submersibles.

The company has adapted some of its technology for other uses, such as deep water well intervention with a riser, a sub-mudline shut-off system for the Arctic and a well abandonment system for the North Sea .
