Netherlands-based company Fugro has started conducting geophysical and geotechnical surveys for Artelia, as a part of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (ADNOC) Hail and Ghasha gas development.

Situated off the Arabian Gulf, the Hail and Ghasha gas development form an important part to ensure sustainable and economic gas supply to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Survey contracts were awarded to Fugro through a competitive bidding process.

Fugro has already mobilised specialised equipment to the Ghasha field such as self-elevating platforms for geotechnical work and crew accommodation.

At Hail field, the company will deploy amphibious buggies to conduct surveys. The field is situated in an inter-tidal shoal area.

The marine geophysical and bathymetric surveys in the deeper water will be carried out by its Fugro Proteus vessel.
