Several of these techno The coordinated use of core samples, drillships, logical developments, especially those that allow real-time and mission-specific platforms has resulted in a borehole monitoring, have provided additional safety and community- and facility-oriented approach and a hazard assessment tools that permit riserless drilling in dif concentration of effort by a diverse group of sci ficult environments.
