Fugro wins UAE survey contract

Fugro has won a site characterization services contract to support one of the largest long-term oilfield development projects in the United Arab Emirates.

The Netherlands-based company will conduct a series of offshore surveys, including geophysical, geotechnical and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) inspections supported by engineering and geological consultancy studies, to help inform the front-end engineering design (FEED). The project included an assessment of approximately 600 kilometers of pipeline routes, including 800 intersections, 49 jacket surveys and offshore island surveys.

Using Fugro’s remote data management solutions, a near real-time understanding of surface conditions is gained, enabling clients to reduce uncertainty related to surface conditions, make timely and informed design decisions and generate significant capital expenditure savings throughout field development projects , Fugro said.

Tim Lyle, Group Director, Middle East and India, Fugro, said: “This major award will enable Fugro to support our customers’ vision and sustainability goals, while reinforcing our commitment to domestic value by working closely with local supply chains.”
