Fugro’s Offshore Wind Experience in Europe
Fugro has provided the Geotechnical, Geophysical and/or Met-ocean Services
for more than 80% of the European Offshore Wind Developments.
We have provided such services for more than 120 OWF developments.

Fugro - Investigates Planet Earth
• Has been a primary supplier of our services to: • The offshore Oil & Gas (O&G) industry in the Gulf of Mexico (since the late 1940s) • The offshore O&G industry world-wide • The European offshore wind industry since its inception
Fugro Offshore Experience: • Six decades of experience in O&G • Decades of experience in
all O&G areas around the world • 15+ years for northern Europe OW industry • BOEM/MMS studies and standards/guideline committees

Understanding the Importance of the Subsurface
• It costs significant €’s (or $’s) to define and understand the geologic conditions beneath the ocean • Open ocean surveys and investigations require large vessels, sophisticated equipment, and experienced personnel • This is often the 1st major investigative expense of an OWF project

Understanding the Importance of the Subsurface
The consequences of inadequate or untimely subsurface definition: • Bad assumptions during design • Possible delays in obtaining permits • Problems during construction
• This was a major Lesson Learnt as the OW industry developed in Europe!

• Regional Survey Grid Widely-spaced survey lines across WEA
• oriented for optimum definition of subsurface geology Grid to be extended to include Section 238 Demonstration Lease Grid to include “tie lines” to CLT, CBBT and potential cable route landing
locations
• Survey Systems - all systems appropriate per BOEM Guidelines for geohazards evaluations Multi-beam bathymetry Side Scan Sonar Magnetometer Sub-bottom profiler (Chirp) Mid Penetration Seismic Reflection
• Multi-plate boomer source • Multi-channel, post-processed hydrophone array
• Activities conducted using systems and methods that “protect & minimize harassment” of marine mammals

Appropriate Vessels for Offshore Survey, Investigation, & Tool Installation
The potential resource areas are not where there has been historic offshore energy development
Vessels will need to be mobilized or local vessels (likely inadequate) will need to be used
Not having proper vessels, equipment & staff is penny wise, pound foolish …………. and is certainly NOT safety 1st
These are tools of the trade
www.fugro.com
To date, most efforts have focused on: – Identifying wind resources – Where and how to deliver energy to the
grid In contrast, the engineering aspects of siting,
investigation, design and installation have been underappreciated
Fugro provides experience and solutions
