Fugro has completed a geophysical site investigation for TotalEnergies off the north-west coast of Paramaribo in Block 58 of the Guyana-Suriname Basin.
Fugro has completed a geophysical site investigation for TotalEnergies off the north-west coast of Paramaribo in Block 58 of the Guyana-Suriname Basin.
The project sits approx. 150 km offshore in water depths ranging from 60 m to 2100 m and involved acquisition and analysis of geophysical data and geotechnical soil samples. Fugro will use this information to characterize site conditions and identify potential geohazards.
The nearly seven-month field programme was accomplished from the vessel Fugro Brasilis using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for most of the geophysical data collection as well as piston and box corers for the seabed soil sampling. To streamline project delivery and reduce the carbon footprint, Fugro performed initial data processing and laboratory testing onboard the vessel.
‘This work represents one of Fugro’s largest site characterization programmes in the region in recent years,’ said Brian Hottman, Fugro’s director for the Caribbean and Pacific South America.
