LEIDSCHENDAM, the Netherlands Fugro has signed a strategic framework agreement (SFA) with dCarbonX for decarbonization exploration projects that support the development of offshore geo-energy resources in the UK and Ireland.

The SFA will enable the companies to collaborate on decarbonization and share relevant data, technological insights and operational scheduling.

Fugro will apply its consultancy mindset to help progress opportunities, and its geo-data acquisition, analysis and advice will provide dCarbonX with critical information to characterize sites and support decision-making at the project concept stage.

Fugro’s consultancy services in the SFA will include comprehensive desktop studies to derisk ground conditions, recommendations on the survey or ground investigation data required, baseline environmental, geochemical and bathymetric surveys, and geophysical and geotechnical site investigation campaigns.

As projects progress, the two companies will also collaborate on monitoring methods to ensure that operations are performed safely, efficiently, and in an environmentally responsible manner.

Laura Hughes, Fugro Country Director UK, said: “Fugro is deeply committed to accelerating the energy transition by developing geo-energy resources such as CCS, hydrogen storage and geothermal energy, which have the potential to transform the way we live and interact with the planet.”
