RPS began work in 2016 for ExxonMobil in Guyana to characterize the region for development of their Liza field. The project started off with a surface met buoy and four full column current moorings in water depths ranging from 1500-2800m. The success of the initial program led to several extensions and expansion of measurements at various depths in the development area, in the nearshore area along a proposed pipeline route, and onshore meteorological stations. RPS has completed over 50 successful deployments in the region for ExxonMobil and continues to provide critical data for development of their production facilities. Overall data return for all deployments from 2016 to present is 97%.

RPS has also been the sole provider of current measurement systems for ExxonMobil’s drilling and production platforms in Guyana. Installation and maintenance of six systems has been performed since the start of exploratory operations in 2016. Systems are comprised of a surface current meter, mid-column current meter, and a seabed deployed current meter all reporting in real-time. Data is assimilated and displayed using RPS’ proprietary software. RPS web display, automated reports, and other analytical tools are also available to the client to utilize the data.
