Fugro has won multiple contracts for offshore and onshore surveys in the UAE, which will support two long-term field development programs.

This month, the company will mobilize its geophysical and geotechnical uncrewed surface vessel (USV) and environmental expertise as well as the company’s GroundIQ technology to assist the client’s FEED process.

Work scopes include surveys for pipelines, cables, artificial islands and offshore structures. Fugro will deliver near-real-time insights into ground conditions via its remote data management solutions.

In its latest results statement, Fugro highlighted other new contract awards, including a high-resolution shallow seismic ocean-bottom node survey for bp at two platforms offshore Trinidad and Tobago (to support geohazard assessment and well planning) and an integrated site characterization program for RWE and TotalEnergies’ Windbostel offshore wind projects in the German North Sea.
