HOUSTON -- Fugro GeoServices Inc.'s newbuild survey vessel Fugro Enterprise is mobilizing for the first of three deepwater surveys in the Gulf of Mexico.
The vessel carries a suite of high-resolution geophysical survey equipment including Echo Surveyor II, a Hugin 3000 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, as the primary system. The AUV is equipped with multibeam echosounder, side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler sensors capable of working for up to 60 hours continuously in water depths of 3,000 m (10,000 ft).
Survey data can be processed onboard and is available from the vessel in near real-time, via broadband connection to Fugro's and/or clients' offices.
