The drilling was carried out on 22-23.07.2023. The bedrock is built up by siltstone and sandstone. At the drilling site, they are covered by thick-bedded beach sediments. During the drilling, a depth of 7 meters below sea level was reached, and with no further drilling progress, a decision was made to install a string to the depth obtained.
