Company Profile
Fugro Survey (Middle East) Ltd. Corporate History
Fugro Survey (Middle East) Ltd. has operated in the Middle East since 1978.
In 1979, a consortium of three companies - Intersite, Geomex and Wimpol - was formally established and named IGW. This consortium was awarded the positioning and survey contract by ZADCO for their Zakum Field development programme, which by 1984 had some 84 platforms and 250 wells in place.
During the course of the late 80's, IGW Surveys Ltd. (as the consortium was by then called) came under the full ownership of Oceonics Group plc. In 1993, Oceonics (Asia-Pacific) Ltd., also a fully owned Oceonics Group Subsidiary, purchased IGW Surveys and became the operating company for the group in the UAE.
Subsequent to this, in 1997, Oceonics was purchased by the Fugro Group and was renamed Fugro Survey (Middle East) Ltd. The company has continued to expand, and following the acquisition of Thales Geosolutions in late 2003 now comprises some 250+ personnel.
