Life as an Offshore Surveyor: The Gulftide Experience Every morning at Gulftide is a new adventure. Imagine standing on an oil rig platform, 80 meters above the deep blue ocean. As the sun rises, we gear up for the day’s work—surveying the ocean floor, gathering data, and ensuring everything runs smoothly beneath the surface. Project scope in this case: A gas pipeline leak has been detected and reported on the seabed. So we have been tasked with the responsibility to find it. I will talk about the process from vessel mob, to calibrations, the challenges faced and then the actual survey in my next post. So let's continue, shall we? The real thrill begins when we climb into a zodiac boat, which is lowered from the platform by crane. Suspended above the water, I always feel a mix of excitement and awe as we slowly descend, the waves below gently welcoming us. Once we hit the water, the real work begins—navigating the unpredictable sea to collect vital information. NOTE: I used to have sea phobia, but how all these disappeared still remains a misery till date. It’s a job that tests your skills, patience, and resilience. But there's something about being out here, in the middle of the ocean, that keeps me coming back. Every day is a reminder of how vast and powerful the sea is—and how rewarding it is to be part of a team working in harmony with it. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. How about you, do you enjoy what you do? Let's talk about it in the comment section #offshoresurvey #hydrography #oilandgas #adventure #oceanlife #surveyor #engineeringlife

JACKSONVILLE, FL / Port Everglades has been the focus of an economic and environmentally sensitive project for the US Army Corps of Engineers for nearly three decades. The goal is to deepen and widen the harbor to remain a competitive seaport while also responding successfully to mitigation and minimization of environmental impacts of the project.   Within this complex project, LG2 (LG2 Environmental Solutions, Inc.) has supported environmental assessments, and provided data management, analysis, and reporting. LG2, along with CSA (Continental Shelf Associates) and Pinnacle Ecological, conducted rapid visual assessment surveys at reef enhancements sites and used that information to guide the mapping and characterization field work. Potential mitigation sites were mapped and their current condition documented. Potential hardbottom/coral reef sites were also assessed for restoration or enhancement as compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts from the Port Everglades Deepening Project. Within the project, the data helped define boundaries of discrete assessment areas and determined the most suitable aquatic community type(s) to be used as framework for each assessment area.   Oneida ESC Group of companies' LG2 is an Organizational Member of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) and adheres to diving safety standards.

OP-TIER COMPRENHENSIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR INLAND MARINE PROJECTS. The secret to the success of an operation and a good project is in the details. That's why the devil gets into the details of any project. We know better than anyone how to remove the devil from your high-performance inland navigation projects.

Guice Offshore (“GO”) support vessels are a necessary and critical part of the offshore #oilandgas exploration and production (E&P) environment, and are utilized in almost every phase of the #offshoreoil extraction process, from survey and drilling to production and abandonment. Guice Offshore maintains a strong presence in the northern #GulfofMexico E&P sector. Our vessels are most often employed in support of Platform and Pipeline Operations (production activities, logistics, diving, ROV, inspection, maintenance, repair, plug and abandonment). We also participate in certain early phases of #oilandgasexploration like surveying. Below, Guice Offshore's mini supply vessel GO Freedom returns to shore with a load of #offshoreoilandgas equipment.🫡 To read about the other industries we serve, click here: https://lnkd.in/eTqcJMnu #oilandgasindustry #offshoreengineering #offshoreoperations #offshoredrilling #offshoredevelopment
