Current Expertise

Prior to Rig Arrival Deployment

  • Seabed mounted so reduced risk of 3rd party interference
  • Maximum profiling range approximately 500m (deeper on request)
  • Satellite tracking beacon in case of accidental surfacing
  • Dual acoustic releases for redundancy

Deploying current meters at the earliest stages of exploration drilling (the site survey) provides the knowledge to:

  • Build the current model based on scientifically derived and seasonally accurate information
  • Build cuttings dispersion models with accurate current data over the entire water column
  • Determine the impact of cuttings discharge before rig arrives
  • Optimise rig and spud placement in environmentally sensitive locations
  • Generate an accurate current and therefore spill model before moving on location
 
Additional Benefits
  • Early and seasonal understanding of currents for field development and construction requirements if discovery
  • Contribute to NCS database of current information
  • Complete understanding of current strength and direction for accurate rig placement when running conductor and riser analyses
  • Current information and accurate mapping can be sent to skimming boats en route to location
  • Improved clean up strategy
  • Dedicated marine current expertise to assist in event of oil spill from both CLS and StormGeo on a 24/7 coverage if needed
