Ocean Floor Geophysics Inc. (OFG) and Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) have announced today the signing of a cooperation agreement under which the two companies agree to work together on various projects to promote the use of marine CSEM technology. http://www.oceanfloorgeophysics.com///ofg-emgs-cooperation

"CSEM: Back from the Brink" by Dr. Lucy MacGregor and Richard Cooper of OFG Multiphysics was published in GEOExPro magazine. Past, present and a bright future: https://www.geoexpro.com/magazine/vol-17-no-5

Royal Canadian Navy Embarks with OFG on the Demonstration of a Mobile Range with AUVs for Warship Signature Management OFG will deploy its Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) non-contact integrated Cathodic Protection (iCP) system and Self-Compensating Magnetometer (SCM) systems for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) for a demonstration of a mobile magnetic signature range. OFG is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to test SCMs and its Underwater Electric Potentia...l (UEP) system on an AUV to measure and model the magnetic and electric signatures of a non-combatant training vessel provided by the RCN. These systems are already deployed commercially by OFG as part of its AUV non-contact integrated Cathodic Protection (iCP) inspection system for subsea pipeline and structure inspection by AUV. The results of the tests will be used to evaluate several scenarios to complement and extend current vessel signature measurement capabilities. Some scenarios contemplated by OFG include taking the range to the ship instead of the ship to the range, ranging for deployed unit to avoid costly detours and delays, and quick looks for suspected faults in degaussing systems, and the potential for use as part of an automated ship signature management system. The data will be collected by OFG sensors integrated with the SOLUS-LR AUV, a long range AUV capable of long-range port to port missions, built by Cellula Robotics Ltd. The contract was awarded by Innovative Solutions Canada and will be executed under the supervision of the RCN. Matthew Kowalczyk, CEO of OFG stated Adapting our industry proven SCM and iCP systems from AUV non-contact cathodic protection pipeline inspection to a warship signature management program is a great example of OFG’s expertise in marine magnetic and electric field measurement systems. http://www.oceanfloorgeophysics.com//20/9/21/rcn-signature

OFG Acquires CSEM Capability From PGS: PGS and Ocean Floor Geophysics, Inc (OFG) have today signed an agreement under which OFG has acquired the exclusive rights to use the hardware, software and intellectual property associated with the PGS towed streamer CSEM system. The towed-streamer CSEM technology developed by PGS is a state-of-the-art system, which allows for the acquisition of high-quality marine CSEM data in a fast and efficient manner. The system complements existing CSEM technology to permit a broad operating envelope.

Many thanks to XOCEAN and their client for including OFG and our Self-Compensating Magnetometer (SCM) systems on this interesting project in the Gulf of Mexico. Magnetic processing for the real-time identification of the buried pipe location was provided remotely by OFG from Vancouver a first with the XOCEAN Unmanned Survey Vessel!
