LEIDSCHENDAM, the Netherlands – KrisEnergy has contracted Fugro for geotechnical investigations for the Apsara oil field project in block A offshore Cambodia.
Apsara will provide the first ever production from the Khmer basin in the Gulf of Thailand.
Fugro will use the drillship Fugro Mariner to conduct shallow gas pilot-hole drilling and cone penetration tests and to drill geotechnical sample boreholes, all related to the design and installation phases of the Apsara Mini Phase 1A development.
The company supported the field’s previous operator Chevron in 2006, when it supported drilling of the initial exploration wells that led to the field’s discovery.
Vladimir Lavie, senior geophysicist for KrisEnergy, said: “We’ve already completed our geophysical surveys, and Fugro’s geotechnical investigation will provide the final set of geomechanical information needed to de-risk the design, installation, and operation of our project.”
