Fugro Middle East Marine Geophysics director Gerard Ferreira said: “Continuing from previous projects for Qatargas’ North Field Production, this latest project benefits from more efficient processing and in-country mobilisation of assets, demonstrating how we constantly strive to improve our services for clients such as Qatargas to provide sustainable solutions in an ever-changing industry.”
In October 2018, Fugro secured a five-year deal with Qatargas for underwater inspection, geotechnical, and geophysical services in Qatar.
Last month, Fugro secured an inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) contract from Seamec to support the latter’s asset management project for India’s ONGC.
In April this year, Fugro secured a contract to support subsea well decommissioning performed by the semi-submersible Well-Safe Guardian.
