Dutch term or phrase: RKK ingelaten en gekernd

Nog steeds over de weekboorraport. Wat is RKK en wat betekent gekernd? Is het "taking samples"?

RKK lowered and samples taken

Explanation:
I think RKK probably refers to a brand of oilfield exploration or production equipment that is being used (RKK PRODUCTION COMPANY, see below). 'Kernen' does indeed appear to refer to taking soil samples by drilling (see the pooljaar.nl references below). I'm not a specialist in this field, however.

** Het ‘kernen’, oftewel boren in de zeebodem ** Ondanks de nodige materiaalpech die er altijd lijkt bij te horen, verloopt de tocht niet slecht.

Jack, thank you very much for the answer. Actually the link provided by WIDIC has helped me a lot. Apparently the English term for "kernen" is "coring" which is taking samples through the core of the drilling equipment.
