Scouting your survey area
You need expertise to thoroughly scout your new exploration block before preparing the Tender or the Contract. In some country or areas you will also need a serious security assessment. Toulven Consulting will provide you the best Geophysical Consultants for your license block scouting including a certified Security expert having years of experience in the oil and gas industry.
Preparation of Tender documents and Contracts
Most of the recent seismic acquisition contracts I recently supervised were totally confusing and inadapted to the real field conditions. Equipment and personnel lists were vague and reimbursable items list covered almost anything. The chargeable stand time for weather or other field impediment had no limit and the items were not clearly defined. That can be avoid by the analysis and review of your tender document and contract by an experimented Consultant. We can also help you in the selection of your contractor.
