There is a road going from the main settlement to the drilling sites, starting here:

At Carbon bay, the road turns upwards:

And here is the actual drilling site:

The VO team is monitoring the drills closely, looking for any sign of hydrocarbon fuel deposits...

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.
