RPS has designed and implemented numerous offshore environmental baseline surveys in the remote waters of the North West Shelf for Santos, including for the Keraudren and Dorado projects.
RPS has supported Santos’ offshore energy exploration activities by undertaking environmental surveys for potential offshore development sites. The baseline information supported assessment of impacts and risks and fed into their project approvals process under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act (OPGGS Act).
Santos engaged RPS’ Marine Science team to design and implement the baseline surveys for water and sediment quality, infauna, and benthic (seabed) fauna habitats and communities, at several offshore sites.Â
The survey areas are in Commonwealth waters more than 100 kilometres offshore and the program required detailed planning to complete the surveys safely and efficiently. RPS applied its well-established procedures for safe work in offshore environments to deliver the baseline survey projects without incident or downtime.
Our consultants managed all spatial data and produced maps of the distribution of fish assemblages, pearl oysters and marine habitats, while collecting water, sediment and infauna samples for analysis by appropriately certified laboratories.
