Fugro signed contract for Greater Sunrise and Bayu Undan pipeline survey programme in Timor-Leste

The survey programme will support the planning and development of critical offshore energy infrastructure associated with the Greater Sunrise and Bayu Undan developments, two strategically important projects that underpin Timor-Leste’s future energy ambitions.

Under the contract, Fugro will undertake an extensive offshore site characterisation programme, including geophysical, seismic and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) surveys across a challenging offshore environment. The survey area includes deepwater areas with water depths exceeding 3,000 metres.

The programme will provide comprehensive seabed intelligence and geotechnical insights to support pipeline routing, engineering design, geohazard assessment, and the safe execution of offshore operations. Fugro will integrate advanced AUV technology with real-time support from its Remote Operations Centres to enhance operational efficiency, data quality and project oversight.

Survey data will be processed and quality-controlled through Fugro’s regional data centres in Kuala Lumpur and Perth, enabling streamlined project delivery and the timely provision of high-quality insights to support informed decision-making throughout project development.
