NEAR REAL-TIME OFFSHORE AND SEAWATER QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM

NEAR REAL-TIME OFFSHORE AND SEAWATER QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM

Agip KCO is responsible for the first phase of development of the giant Kashagan field which holds some 35 billion barrels of oil beneath the Kazakhstan section of the north Caspian Sea.

Golder Associates was contracted to develop an air and water quality monitoring program for extremely challenging conditions:

• extreme heat and cold, • shifting pack ice, • high sediment load, • busy maritime traffic and commercial fishing, • unreliable shore power, and• infrequent maintenance.

We designed and built an experimental seafloor monitoring station that provides near-real time data management and has performed well through 11 months of testing.
