The SINDRI Group used to be a part of the stipulated work programmes for licensees within the Faroese area. The SINDRI Group was during operation comprised by oil companies that used to operate in the Faroese region.
The main objective of the SINDRI Group was to carry out joint projects of relevance to the future investigation of the Faroese continental shelf.
Below you can find the extensive work that was done under the SINDRI regime.
