Every time an election is held for any office, the subject of ANWR Drilling, America’s dependence on petroleum and the politics of oil and gas eventually comes up in discussion. To understand the debate the overall issue of Anwr and the impacts of drilling there must be clearly understood.
 Why? Because the issue of climate change, oil exploration and the future of the United States and the world are at stake. What are the real pros and cons of drilling in ANWR? ALASKAN OIL DRILINGANWR is the name given to 19 million acres on Alaska’s North Slope – the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

When deposit exploitation is concerned, the Offshore Petroleum and Gas industries are interested in characterizing the first few dozens of meters of sediment,
essentially for:Assessing the installation risks of operating infrastructures, wells, pipes, etc. breakages in slopes, the detection of gas pockets, etc.The detection of gas hydrates. The precision of the soac-logs reduces the number of direct measurements needed for the geotechnical survey of a zone: in a favorable situation, the number of direct measurements can be reduced by a factor of 4 to 5: to find out more, discover the NĂ©ris performance data sheet
