Transforming oil and gas projects through advanced Geo-data insights

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Real-time tracking of metocean variables enables adaptive management of production activities. This data helps manage production processes and mitigate operational risks. Continuous monitoring ensures that operations adapt to environmental variations, maintaining safety and efficiency.

Comprehensive site characterisation during the exploration and development phases lays the groundwork for regulatory adherence. Ongoing asset integrity inspections and monitoring ensure compliance with legal standards. Detailed reports facilitate transparent and accountable production practices.

When decommissioning oil and gas sites, we prioritise ecological preservation. Thorough site assessments and remediation plans guide decommissioning activities. Established protocols ensure responsible and sustainable decommissioning of infrastructure, including well intervention and removal. By addressing environmental concerns, Fugro ensures responsible and resilient decommissioning practices through advanced consulting and services.

We deliver essential Geo-data and insights about the Earth and oceans to optimise oil and gas projects. Our advanced technologies and expertise provide insights to minimise risks, maximise productivity, and ensure resiliency.

Our key services include:

• Seabed surveys: Gathering detailed information about the seabed to help safely place oil rigs, pipelines, and other infrastructure

• Environmental studies: Monitoring the environment to ensure compliance with regulations

• Offshore positioning: Using advanced technology to guide ships and equipment during offshore operations

• Pipeline and structure inspections: Checking underwater pipelines and platforms to ensure they are safe and working properly

• Remote and autonomous operations: Using robots, remote systems, and our global network of remote operations centres to deliver fast, accurate Geo-data while reducing risk.

By integrating cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge, we support oil and gas field development from exploration to maintenance and decommissioning. This approach prioritises safety, efficiency, and resiliency at every stage.
