Fugro has been awarded a contract by Ophir Equatorial Guinea (Block R) Ltd. for the provision of survey services for the development of assets and infrastructure offshore Equatorial Guinea, according to a news release.
Under the contract Fugro will deploy three of its specialist vessels—Fugro Searcher, Fugro Scout and Fugro Frontier—to perform autonomous underwater vehicle surveys as well as geotechnical, environmental and metocean surveys, the release said.
The survey program will take place at the Fortuna Project west of Bioko Island, where Ophir is planning a large FLNG installation and associated subsea structures. With the surveys beginning in November, the offshore operations are scheduled for completion in January 2016, according to the release.
