Sediment monitoring on offshore oil and gas fields

Akvaplan-niva is a market leader in offshore sediment monitoring. Since 1989, we have undertaken more than 40 extensive monitoring and baseline surveys for major oil companies in Norwegian,  Faeroese and Danish offshore areas.  Samples for biological, chemical and geological analyses are processed at our in-house accredited laboratories and in accordance with Norwegian State Pollution Control Authority guidelines. The majority of  offshore sediment monitoring has been carried out around oil and gas installations in the North Sea, as this is the centre of gravity for the Norwegian O&G industry. 

In addition to monitoring, Akvaplan-niva offers a range of environmental services to the petroleum industry, and assist authorities worldwide in developing guidelines and manuals for risk assessment, monitoring and  oil spill clean-up
