GeoForce Hooks Geotechnical Survey for Shetland Subsea Link
testing, providing data to support route optimisation and installation design. The work is intended to improve understanding of subsurface conditions and reduce engineering risks ahead of cable installation.The contract builds on an existing relationship between GeoForce and Reach Subsea on offshore site investigation projects.“GeoForce provides specialist geotechnical expertise that will play a key role in the success of our campaign with SSEN Transmission. Their capabilities complement our integrated project delivery onboard our vessels and will help ensure we acquire the high-resolution

ability to execute integrated geophysical and geotechnical projects, where the geotechnical component is derived from geophysical data that is efficiently processed on board,” Argeo said in a statement.To remind, in December 2024, Argeo signed a five-year frame agreement with TotalEnergies for offshore site investigation services, which could be extended for additional two years.Argeo Inks Five-Year Offshore Site Investigation Agreement with TotalEnergie
Geoquip Marine Adds Retrofitted Vessel to Its Geotechnical Fleet
;Expanding our fleet with this new vessel, complete with our flagship GMTR150 drilling rig, gives Geoquip even more capacity to deliver high-quality site investigations in varied weather conditions.“The Geoquip team can look forward to working on a vessel that’s been purpose-built for offshore site investigations and which will include a new accommodation block, ample office and meeting facilities, and an offshore laboratory to gather fast and accurate data for clients,” said Rune Olav Pedersen, Geoquip’s incoming CEO
Argeo Inks Five-Year Offshore Site Investigation Agreement with TotalEnergies
Norwegian energy services firm Argeo has signed a five-year frame agreement with TotalEnergies for offshore site investigation services.The agreement has a fixed five-year term, with two optional one-year extensions, allowing for a total duration of up to seven years.The agreement with TotalEnergies will take effect immediately and is designed to streamline and accelerate global procurement processes, enabling Argeo to respond to project requirements and opportunities and deliver work on both short-term and long-term engagements.“This agreement marks a significant step forward in our partnership
World's Deepest Offshore Wind Foundation Installed in Scotland
Italian energy services firm Saipem has installed what has been described as the world’s deepest offshore wind turbine foundation at Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm – Seagreen.Last Friday, Seaway 7 transported the jacket foundation on a barge to the offshore site it was met by the semisubmersible crane vessel Saipem 7000 which is used to lift each of the 2,000-tonne turbine foundations into place."The installation of the jacket means Seagreen has now topped its own record from October 2022, when a previous foundation was installed at a depth of 57.4 meters (approximately

This is a valuable experience for our development team and it gave us plenty of data points to work with and prepare for our summer validation pilot of the beta system. We are currently looking for the industry partners to work with us in our next funded phase of the roadmap that shall kick-off
