Bespoke Marine Seismic Solutions

A wealth of experience gained in the geophysical industry AquaGeo is a British all-female led geophysical project management company, offering a range of niche-market services and experienced project personnel to the specialist sector of the marine exploration industry. Services include: Transition zone / amphibious Outfitting and project mobilisation Design and fabrication Survey vessel management and acquisition services Technical solutions for geophysical industry suppliers Experienced project personnel Niche market means that we do not compete with the larger seismic contractors. Our objective is to compliment or collaborate with larger contractors and deliver a professional and seamless service. A common prohibiter in business is the inability to remain nimble. AquaGeo can react swiftly to our client s requirements, scaling operations in emerging areas where bespoke solutions are essential. We work in unity with our client to deliver a reliable and cost effective project. We can share our experiences gained in the larger areas of the industry with companies that require a bespoke or smaller scale operational package. AquaGeo is well established in the oil and gas service sector to assist with the implementation of specialised seismic and marine management niche market services.

Amphibious mud buggies Personnel within AquaGeo have designed and outfitted a number of different swamp buggies and amphibious vehicles for seismic exploration in transition zone areas worldwide. This activity has a particular focus on projects where there is a need to fill the data gap between the limits of traditional marine and land seismic survey methods. In collaboration with the Wetland Equipment Company, USA-based market leaders and manufacturers of amphibious equipment, we offer a complete service in respect of providing a seismic platform outfitted for all aspects of drilling and geophysical survey operations in the challenging transition zone environment. Transition zone AquaGeo has entered into an exclusive collaboration with Yuzmoreneftegeofizika (YMG) located in Gelendzhik near the Black Sea, to deliver to the global oil and gas sectors a costeffective solution in today s market. Our objective is to help clients acquire seismic in marshland, transition zone and shallow water locations. On behalf of YMG, AquaGeo conducted a feasibility study to specially adapt a mud buggy for operations in very difficult areas of swamp. The project progressed into assisting in the development of Teledyne Bolt s borehole seismic source, which has been adapted to function in drilled boreholes and muddy areas of operation.

Outfitting and project mobilisation Seismic doesn t always have to be big to be successful. We outfit and mobilise vessels of opportunity for use in difficult or remote areas not accessible to existing survey ships. We provide cost effective geophysical vessel design, outfitting and mobilisation. AquaGeo has been contracted to work on a number of projects assisting with the provision and implementation of customised solutions. Services range from the outfit of multi purpose geophysical vessels, or vehicles customised to work in transition and tidal survey areas. Design and fabrication We are a provider of bespoke in-water handling systems for seismic source and recording equipment and the temporary installation of portable solutions on a variety of vessels and platforms. As a solution provider for challenging projects, this usually results in equipment being adapted and tested to the limits of its design criteria. This can lead to helping manufacturers with the ongoing development of their products and R&D. We recognise that our suppliers are a valuable asset to the company in ensuring we deliver a successful project to our clients.

Survey vessel management and acquisition services Technical solutions for geophysical industry suppliers AquaGeo staff have a long history in managing and operating a variety of seismic vessels around the world. Project examples range from all aspects of oil and gas exploration, through to support of scientific survey vessels. We can bring the necessary experience and industry interface to provide vessel owners and investors with the ability to have vessels gainfully and safely employed directly with oil and gas industry clients. These services are usually provided with AquaGeo as the designated vessel manager with such management including all aspects of both the marine and survey operation, thus avoiding any unnecessary duplication of services or personnel. Marine industry seismic manufacturing companies will from time-to-time require an interface between their product and the seismic operation. Requirements normally range from installation and upgrade through to equipment testing and operational training in the field. This can be very demanding on the supplier, taking away valuable resources when it enters into business with new customers. With extensive knowledge in niche-market marine activities, we have installed and operated a large variety of marine seismic products and equipment on a wide range of vessels and amphibious equipment. We have the resources to provide the necessary level of both in-house technical support and skilled personnel.

Experienced personnel for marine seismic operations Our major asset is in our own team of experienced project leaders and key offshore personnel. The backbone of our service, providing us with the ability to cover all aspects of any marine geophysical operation that we are contracted to either undertake or to manage. All our personnel are provided with the correct certification/visas/hse training/medical insurance and we coordinate the logistics of all field crew members arrival and departure between home and the work location.
