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.
