Avalon Borehole Test Facility
AVALON CORNWALL
Avalon Sciences has acquired the ABB Offshore System borehole facility at Rosemanowes Quarry, Penryn in Cornwall, UK. The acquisition of the 871,200 square feet quarry allows testing of borehole equipment within a controlled environment.
This provides ASL with an additional means of proving new products within real onsite conditions, allowing us to provide a better understanding of problems that may develop in other locations. Facilities and wells on the site are available for hire along with field crew. The facility can also be used as part of our ATC field engineer training course.
Avalon Borehole Test Facility Brochure
Avalon Cornwall, Rosemanowes Quarry, Herniss, Longdowns, Penryn, Cornwall, TR10 9DU We also have a shallow 200m cased vertical borehole (with wireline winch) at our Somerton HQ facility.
The quarry was a UK Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Research site, offering access to one of the most comprehensively logged well systems in the world. The boreholes are located within a fresh water filled granite environment, thus providing an excellent location for academia and industry to prove research and hardware.
The site provides an ideal training facility for trainees to learn how to maintain, assemble and deploy ASL tool systems on site. A comprehensive training itinerary has been developed such that a complete field engineer and maintenance course can be carried out over a period of days. There is also an opportunity for trainees to carry out onsite VSP surveys to gain real time experience with ACQ acquisition software, with an option to carry out processing training of the collected data set with VSProwess. Please refer to our ATC training brochure for more details about these courses.
