Enviros was contracted by Premier Oil to perform a major integrated geophysical and environmental site survey at locations within North Falkland Island Basin. The site survey scope of work comprised three areas in total each approximately 5km x 5km. The primary objective was to acquire geophysical and environmental data to assist in the planning of future operations at two areas and the acquistion of environmental baseline data only at a third area. Geotechnical seabed samples comprising vibrocore and grab samples were recovered as part of the environment scopes of work and within the ice scour and ice pit regions.
Geophysical seabed / shallow sediments and environmental habitat survey scopes of work were performed from MV Poseidon utilising multi-beam echosounder (MBES), pinger and ultra high resolution (UHR) technicques to image shallow channels up to 30m below seafloor. Additional analogue lines were requested to delineate shallow channels features observed as part of the geophysical scope of work across the site. Enviros were repsonsible for the ground model desk study of the locations to support and complement the data acquired during fieldwork operations.
Project Organisation
Enviros were responsible for performance of all pre-mobilisation, mobilisation, fieldwork, demobilisation and associated data processing, interpretation and reporting. A senior Enviros Project Manager with >15 years relevant offshore site survey / investigation experience was appointed on contract award and responsible for each project phase and Client liaisons throughout. The Enviros Project Manager was appointed an experienced Enviros Offshore Project Manager for all fieldwork operations.
The Project Manager had the role of managing day-to-day issues relating to the project, based onshore in the Enviros head office based in United Kingdom. The Offshore Project Manager was responsible to ensuring that the project is completed in accordance with Enviros procedures and to Client specifications. Responsibilities include, but not limited to being the immediate point of contact for any Offshore Client Representatives, ensuring project QHSSE procedures are adhered to during all offshore operations; this is to include mobilisation, field calibrations and checks, project tasks, post project calibration checks and demobilisation; and the production or approval of all necessary field reporting.
