In the same hole, PROD can switch between diamond bit rotary drilling, piston sediment sampling and in situ testing at the dictate of the sea bed geology or the clients' data requirements.

PROD provides sample and data quality that is far superior to ship-mounted heave compensated drilling equipment or sea bed CPT frames. PROD's data acquisition capability exceeds existing in situ testing equipment that lack capacity to penetrate past 20m or drill through obstructions.

Key components of the PROD system are protected internationally by patents,
patents pending and patent applications.
