Armed with detailed interpretations of surface and subsurface properties, we apply appropriate field development methodologies and determine any additional support resources with confidence. You can count on us to provide a complete package of integrated disciplines, expertise and technology.
Using vessel mounted sensors and AUV technology, our seabed surveys provide data of the highest resolution, presented in user-friendly digital formats suitable for field development design. Our geo-consultancy expertise and geotechnical investigation capabilities support development of efficient engineering solutions in the design and installation of platforms, pipelines and other field infrastructure. Our shallow target, ultra-high resolution geophysical survey techniques identify geo-hazards and other subsurface features while our oceanographic measurements reduce uncertainty about processes affecting equipment in the water column.
We screen, assess and model data, before evaluating the results and simulating scenarios. We manage risk and provide a complete suite of services that inform the economic evaluation of both the field and required development assets, such as:
- Regional geohazard screening
- Geoconsulting services
- Metocean studies, forecasts and monitoring
- Environmental surveys and impact assessments
- Petroleum Operations Notices
- Oil pollution emergency planning
