Geotechnical Site Investigations of Akçakoca Natural Gas Exploration & Production Projects of TPAO

*Name of Project*	TPAO Akçakoca Geotechnical Site Investigations
*Place of Project*	Akçakoca – Düzce / TÜRKİYE (Western Black Sea)
*Working Dates*	August 7, 2007 – August 28, 2007
*Organizations Involved*	§ TPAO Turkish Petroleum Corporation (Employer) § GEOS Geoteknik ve Sondajcılık Ltd. § ENAR Mühendislik, Mimarlık ve Danışmanlık Ltd. § AY-ER Harita, İnşaat, Bilgisayar, Turizm, İth., İhr., San. ve Tic. Ltd. § İstanbul Denizcilik ve Sörvey Hizmetleri § ITU Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Soil Mechanics Laboratory
*Scope of Works*	This project was carried out with the cooperation of GEOS and ENAR and the following operations were carried out: § .Geotechnical site investigations were done until the depth of 120 m below seabed at predetermined locations in order to obtain geotechnical data and laboratory analyses of the soil samples were carried out. § .Geotechnical investigation was performed for gathering required data for the design of Akçakoca Offshore Platform to be constructed at 95 m depth. § .Soil samples were taken at every 3 m interval by drilling pipes and sent to the Soil Mechanics Laboratory of ITU Faculty of Civil Engineering to be analyzed. § .The drilling operations were finished on 14^th of August. § .Drilling operations were conducted on our flat barge Seka Ak-2 having 5 mooring anchors. Tugboats Reis-6 and Vega 3 were also used in the operations. § .Seka Ak-2 was located 14 km away from the shore, accurately and bathymetric map of the site was prepared. § .Shell and auger boring and rotary boring methods were applied. § .After completing the site investigations and laboratory analyses, a detailed Geotechnical Report including following items was presented on 28^th of August: ® General geological structure of the area & that of the investigation site ® Soil condition of the site ® Lithological-Geotechnical properties of soil layers ® Soil parameters ® Pile diameter and length ® Seismicity of the site
