“Geohazard Investigation or Survey is performed throughout a well life cycle from

exploration, development, production, monitoring and decommissioning. The purposes
of geohazard investigation are to identify, map and evaluate or quantify the impact of
geohazards on planned activities and well operations. Hence, costly stability problems
and dangerous accidents during offshore drilling activities due to various geohazards
can be prevented.

The term geohazards refer to features of the geologic origin or human-made, on and/or
beneath the seafloor, that poses a threat to engineered structures. The main devastating
effects of geohazards are loss of lives, rig sinking, pipeline burst, environmental
pollution, or structure collapse. The less harmful impacts have severe financial
consequences as well as significant project delays.”

This webinar will elaborate on

- Survey design for geohazard investigation, method, and tools.
- Geophysical survey, followed by geohazard assessment case studies.
- Geotechnical survey, including geohazard on jack-up leg penetration case studies.
