between 1983 and 1990, beaudril's mobile drilling units drilled a total of nineteen exploratory wells in the canadian part of the beaufort sea with the support of "miscaroo" and other icebreaking vessels: nine with the mobile arctic caisson "molikpaq" and ten with the conical drilling unit "kulluk". twelve wells alone were drilled in the amauligak prospect, the most significant oil and gas field discovered in the region, but the high expectations for the beaufort sea were not met: the area was characterized by a large number of small, widely scattered resources. "molikpaq" was mothballed after completing the last well in 1990. however, "kulluk" was used to drill a total of four wells in 1992 and 1993 for arco alaska on the american part of the beaufort sea before being cold-stacked at tuktoyaktuk.
