Arctic and Extreme Cold

Offshore – Harsh Climate Conditions and Remote Locations Experience

The easy oil and gas has been found. Today’s field development projects are in isolated locations lacking infrastructure or established means of product export, and are frequently complicated by delicate or hostile environments. Despite these challenges, the pressure for accelerated project schedules is greater than ever.

• Remote from tidewater, with the constraints of land transport logistics and cost
• Isolated locations with extreme terrain (mountain, jungle, swamp, desert, arctic)
• Narrow weather windows
• Civil and structural design concerns, such as ventilated and insulated foundations, for arctic conditions including permafrost
• Absence of local work force or infrastructure
• Emergency weather condition and location considerations, such as cyclones or icebergs
