Thales Geosolutions, Australia: Vibracoring program along pipeline route, eastern Bass Strait.

University of Sydney/University of Newcastle, Australia: An ARC funded geological investigation of low sea level deposits on the NSW and southern Queensland continental shelf. Some 40 vibracores up to 6.5m in length were collected, in water depths of up to 140m, from the CSIRO RV Franklin in November-December, 1998. QR co-ordinated drilling and core processing and assisted in the selection of samples for TL and radiocarbon dating.

Cockburn Cement Ltd, Western Australia:  Alternative Marine Shell-sand Resources Project. The preparation of detailed geological advice on the alternate shell-sand resources on the Rottnest continental shelf ( Western Australia ) suited to production of quicklime and cement prospects. QR was responsible for undertaking two marine drilling (vibracore) programs, co-ordination of the core sample analyses, and reporting of the results. A total of 180 cores were recovered. All field data and log analyses were consolidated into a GIS database using Mapinfo and MS Access/Excel.  

RACAL Survey, Malaysia:  Geological investigations in the Bay of Bengal for Cairn Energy. The project involved vibracoring to 7m, and core logging at well head sites and bay-shore pipeline routes.

Western Mining Corporation, Australia:  Geological investigations in Exploration Licences within the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The program of coring was successfully completed with high quality vibracore samples collected for stratigraphic interpretation, correlation with the seismic data set, and testing.
