Description This project was a Joint Industry Project with six industry participants, the Minerals Management Service and the Canada Oil and Gas Lands Administration (COGLA). The objective of this project is to obtain full-scale measurements of global ice forces acting on the Gulf Canada arctic caisson `Molikpaq` and determining local ice pressures over areas from 75 to 200 square meters. Gulf Canada has deployed the Molikpaq at the Amauligak F-24 site in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. This site is in the sheer zone of polar pack where the platform is subjected to incursions of multi year ice.
