The Netherlands-headquartered geo-data specialist Fugro has been awarded a contract to run a comprehensive site characterisation programme for an Eni operated development of a deepwater gas project in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Fugro informs that the geo-data survey for the Italian oil and energy major Eni is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2025.

This signed contract is an important survey campaign for Fugro in the region, supporting the ambitions of the Republic of Cyprus to become a regional gas producing and exporting country, as the company states.

The project will draw on Fugro’s comprehensive offshore and deepwater geophysical and geotechnical expertise, as well as the company’s environmental services.
