Services

State-of-the-art bathymetry and seabed surveys are executed for clients in the oil, gas, marine construction, naval and ports authority industries including pre-dredge and post-dredge surveys, buoy mooring and channel surveys. We employ swathe and mono-beam echo sounder suites in addition to sidescan sonar solutions to difficult hydrographic challenges.

Hydrographic solutions include tidal monitoring, current profiling, meteorological analysis, siltation studies, seabed classification etc and other metocean services when required.

Brone undertakes geophysical surveys for pipeline route, cable route and drilling locations. Information on the sediment layers and soil stratigraphy within the seabed is acquired by using equipment with different penetration levels and energy outputs depending on client specifications and project requirements. Also, equipment can be deployed to identify debris, unconformities, salt diapers, stratigraphic faults, subsea channels, existing man made structures and other possible hazards to field development activities.

Soil investigations are often required by clients in the oil, gas and construction industries to solve civil engineering and offshore construction problems as soil formation is considered in engineering designs. Brone undertakes geotechnical investigations on soil types, soil classification, shear strength, porosity, permeability and engineering properties of soils to determine their strength and foundation properties.

Equipment used include gravity corers, jumbo piston corers, drilling rigs, CPT and PCPT equipment.

Personnel, positioning & navigation equipment and advanced positioning software are available to position drilling rigs precisely on to new and existing drilling locations. In addition, tracking systems have been developed for the positioning of anchor handling tugs and other ancillary vessels. Brone also provides assistance with the installation of platforms, jacket sections and templates in offshore hydrocarbon provinces. Surface and sub surface positioning data is integrated to generate graphics for clients to make informed drillung decisions
