Offshore Positioning Services
a
The development of oil and gas fields in the offshore industry necessitates both the establishment of new production phases and the ongoing maintenance of existing ones. This ongoing activity requires specialist and maintenance personnel to be present in offshore regions for extended periods. To accommodate these personnel, vessels equipped with specialized facilities and ample space are employed. Sunrise Marine Geosiences Ltd Company, as a pioneer among middle east companies, has established itself as a leader in positioning barges for deployment and anchoring operations, and continues to excel in this field.
SUNRISE MARINE GEOSIENCES LTD’s Capabilities in Executing Offshore Positioning
SUNRISE MARINE GEOSIENCES LTD Company offers comprehensive expertise in all types of surface and subsurface offshore positioning operations, providing a full suite of services to employers.
Our company maintains a state of complete readiness by ensuring all necessary equipment and highly skilled personnel are prepared for immediate deployment to designated projects. The following examples illustrate the diverse applications of our services:
- Anchor and Mooring Operations: We provide real-time monitoring and positioning of barges and tugs during anchoring and mooring procedures.
- Pipe-laying and Cable-laying Operations: We ensure accurate positioning of pipe-laying and cable-laying vessels throughout their operations, followed by the generation of detailed reports.
- Drilling Rig Positioning: Our services guarantee precise positioning of drilling rigs, ensuring proper alignment with the target location and maintaining a safe distance from platforms and seabed obstacles.
- Subsurface Positioning: We offer comprehensive subsurface positioning solutions for diving operations, underwater robot deployments, and Controlled Flow Intervention (CFI) activities. This includes the installation and positioning of various underwater structures, including alarms, pipeline spools, open-hole corrections, and seabed cable trenches.
Precise positioning of the barge is crucial during operations. Navigation software continuously monitors the vessel’s real-time position and azimuth, with any changes reported to the onboard marine team.
During anchoring, the positioning team guides the support float and barge anchor based on the predetermined anchoring pattern. This ensures accurate placement away from potential hazards like underwater pipelines and cables.
The team also continuously monitors anchor positions, particularly during unfavorable weather conditions, to report any changes.
Furthermore, the positioning team plays a vital role in guiding the pipe/cable laying float along the pre-defined route. Accurate positioning is critical to minimize deviations between the planned and actual installation path. Sunrise Marine Geosciences Ltd.’s successful completion of numerous such projects demonstrates our expertise in this area.

The precise positioning of drilling rigs during relocation and wellhead operations is a critical activity in the offshore industry. Sunrise Marine Geosciences Ltd provides this essential service, ensuring accurate rig placement throughout the drilling process, from initial movement to wellhead positioning.

SUNRISE MARINE GEOSIENCES LTD also offers a range of offshore positioning services for employers in the industry, including the installation of structures such as jackets, topsides, tripods, and bridges. During these projects, SUNRISE MARINE GEOSIENCES LTD utilizes a combination of methods to ensure precise positioning: guiding the installation float, performing accurate measurements using mapping devices positioned on the structures or the float, and deploying a high-precision positioning package to verify the final location of the installed structure. This comprehensive approach minimizes any deviation from the pre-determined installation position.
