Abstract
Abstract A subsea tunnel across the approx. 6-km-wide and 375-m-deep Hjeltefjorden strait was planned to be part of STATOIL's concept for transportation of crude oil to the Mongstad refinery (GULLPIPE). The planning and engineering geological investigations were carried out in three phases from May 1983 to May 1984. This article deals with the different engineering geological investigations made, the results obtained, the evaluation and the recommendations made in connection with this subsea tunnel. Of particular importance were refraction seismic investigations of the seabed at depths of more than 350 m. Also, core drilling at such depths was carried out for the first time.
