expertise continues to shape the future of offshore energy development in one of the

world’s most dynamic markets.

1. How does Fugro’s expertise in subsea pipeline consultancy and design contribute to
the development of offshore energy projects in the Middle East?

At Fugro, we take a comprehensive approach to supporting offshore energy projects, in the

Middle East, always keeping safety, efficiency, and the environment at the forefront. In the
Middle East, our expertise in subsea pipelines plays a pivotal role during every stage of a

project, from initial site assessment and understanding of the environmental impact to
designing the pipelines and positioning installation.

By providing these services, we support informed decision-making, cost reduction, and risk
minimisation for our clients in the Middle East, aligning with global sustainability goals and

2. What are the unique challenges Fugro faces in designing subsea pipelines for the
deeper offshore exploration areas in the Middle East?

Our extensive experience and localised knowledge are vital in addressing regional
challenges. Fugro’s ability to innovate, integrate Geo-data effectively, and tailor solutions to
the distinctive conditions of the Middle East’s areas are essential for the success of ambitious

deep exploration endeavours.

The Geological Complexity related to deeper offshore exploration areas often present more
complex geological conditions. Variability in soil composition, geohazards such as faults or

unstable formations, and uneven seabed terrain can pose challenges in designing stable and
secure subsea pipelines. Our focus on Geo-data ingenuity requires efficiently integrating
diverse geospatial information collected from surveys and investigations. Ensuring seamless

integration of data related to seabed conditions, bathymetry, and geophysical characteristics
is crucial for accurate design and decision-making.

3. How does Fugro ensure the environmental sustainability of their subsea pipeline

projects in the ecologically sensitive regions of the Middle East?

Our team of experts provide guidance to our clients, ensuring their projects are
environmentally sustainable and respecting the delicate ecosystems where they operate. Our
