Fugro starts survey work offshore India

Fugro, a Dutch provider of offshore and onshore geotechnical and survey services, has started integrated survey work offshore India for the country’s multinational oil and gas company ONGC.

The work is being done under a three-year contract valued at approximately $7.7 million.

The contract, awarded to Fugro for the third consecutive time, calls for engineering surveys in field developments off both western and eastern shores of India, the survey company explained on Tuesday.

The scope of the work includes bathymetric surveys, seabed mapping, shallow seismic profiling and well head investigation.

Deploying its dedicated survey vessel, Fugro Mapper, from September 2017, Fugro is performing surveys in water depths ranging from 10 metres to 100 metres.

“We have been supporting these field developments offshore India with our marine site characterization services for more than two decades,” commented Mike Dravitzki, Fugro’s Regional Director.

“It is very satisfying to win this contract for a third consecutive time.”
