Transforming oil and gas projects through advanced Geo-data insights
Jump to
Our view
The global energy landscape demands oil and gas projects that are safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible while meeting growing energy needs. Fugro delivers cohesive and actionable insights from Geo-data for onshore, nearshore, and offshore oil and gas projects. Our advanced technologies and expertise offer comprehensive metocean, environmental, geological, geophysical, geotechnical, and positioning surveys. We collect and interpret high-quality data to determine subsurface, surface, oceanic, atmospheric, and structural conditions. Through expert consulting and management, we tailor solutions to meet specific project requirements. Our approach optimises resource management, reduces project risk, and ensures regulatory compliance.

How do desktop studies support early site selection and screening for oil and gas projects?
Desktop studies analyse geological, environmental, and logistical factors to identify optimal locations for exploration and development. These assessments enable data-driven decisions early in the project life cycle, minimising delays and reducing unforeseen risks.
How do metocean and environmental surveys support site selection?
Early site assessment is important for understanding site-specific conditions that impact project feasibility. Metocean surveys measure winds, waves, currents, and other variables to verify location suitability, while environmental surveys assess air/water quality, biodiversity, and other factors to mitigate ecological impacts and ensure regulatory compliance.
How do geophysical and geotechnical surveys support exploration and development?
Geophysical surveys map the physical properties of the subsurface to provide detailed information about geological structures and conditions. Geotechnical surveys test soil and rock properties to assess their suitability for construction. This data unlocks insights to reduce exploration uncertainties, optimise design, and prevent costly setbacks during development.
How does Geo-data support facility development?
Detailed insights on atmospheric, oceanic, subsurface, and surface conditions enable informed planning and engineering of oil and gas facilities. This optimises resource allocation while addressing environmental and geological challenges.
What positioning services ensure accuracy during installation and construction?
Advanced GPS, GNSS, and photogrammetry provide precise positioning throughout construction. Our services enhance safety and operational efficiency, supported by remote operations centres for real-time monitoring.
