14 Seabed Surveys what hazards are we looking for? How flat is the seabed? How hard is the seabed? Obstruction or debris Shallow Gas

15 Exploration and Appraisal Drilling Mobile rigs comprise two types Jack-up rigs - shallow water < 100m. Semi-submersible rigs - used in deeper waters

16 Semi Submersible Rig Move 1km - 3.5km long

41 CONCLUSIONS Surveyors play a small but critical part of the oil & gas industry. Definitely not a dying industry increasingly Global. Plenty of new technology being introduced. Can be interesting work with responsibility at a young age. Must be a teamplayer & able to inspire confidence Employment prospects are good - presently a skills shortage with an ageing workforce job security. Career progression prospects, training & development are good. Salaries are better than other Geomatics options.
