After securing a contract from Oil and Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC), Fugro said it will begin geotechnical investigations in the KG-DWN-98/2 Block offshore India in third-quarter 2016.

The contract, valued at about $26 million, involves site investigation work to gather geotechnical and geohazard data at the field, Fugro said in a news release. The information will support the design and installation of wellheads, manifolds, platforms, FPSO anchors, umbilicals, pipelines and flow lines.

Fugro will deploy deepwater geotechnical vessel Fugro Voyager for the job in water depths ranging from 50 to 1,500 meters. The company said the fieldwork will be followed by laboratory testing, data analysis, interpretation and integration with other data acquired.
