Ocean Infinity has announced that it has been awarded a contract by Woodside Energy Limited to provide data in support of the Scarborough field development. The Scarborough field is located 375 km west-north-west of the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia.
The contract involves a deepwater geophysical pre-engineering route survey, extending approximately 300 km from the Scarborough subsea field in 950 – 1400 m water depths up the scarp break towards existing onshore LNG processing facilities on the Burrup Peninsula.
Ocean Infinity will deploy multiple AUVs simultaneously from the 115 m vessel Seabed Constructor to collect the data required for Woodside’s route engineering design.
Ocean Infinity has invested to ensure it has an unrivaled technological advantage, based not only on the economies of scale of deploying multiple AUVs simultaneously to increase coverage and reduce operating time but also the computing power to deliver results to facilitate virtually real-time information to be presented to the client.
The deepwater geophysical survey project will commence in mid-June 2018.
