Oil And Gas Sector

  • Fugro expanded its services for the offshore oil and gas sector with the addition of high resolution subsea laser scanning specialist technology that can be applied to a wide range of subsea services including metrology, field mapping, structure mapping, change detection and integrity management. Fugro’s Marine Construction Survey group recently used subsea laser scanning in a number of projects in the Gulf of Mexico, including metrology and asset mapping. With subsea laser scanning, companies have an opportunity to gather high resolution 3D point clouds of subsea assets which are used to obtain accurate point-to-point measurements.
