Benthic Geotech Pty LTD profile is an Australian company operating in the oil and gas
exploration sector as a provider of offshore geotechnical services. According to Australian
Securities & Investments Commissions (ASIC) Benthic is a private company limited by shares.
This class of institutions has the following words "proprietary Limited" in its name, abbreviated

(http://www.benthic.com/). For management The projects globally Benthic positioned teams,
offices and bases of operations in locations such as Houston, Australia, Singapore and Brazil.
Its innovative remotely operated portable drill (PROD), providing highly efficient and reliable
data at depths of up to 3,000 meters. What highlighted Benthic as the world leader in the
efficient execution of high quality geotechnical survey in offshore environment.
Performance
In general, the sector has recorded an increase in demand in the last 3 to 5 years. This increase
results from the enormous potential of new oil and gas exploration projects in deep and ultra-
deepwater (European Oil and gas). Hence the Benthic business has grown significantly, since
its experience in the PROD deployment allows it to operate with maximum flexibility and cost-
benefit to meet customer development needs and schedules (http:/ /www.benthic.com/), as an
example of growing of its business we have the opening of the office in Houston in the year
2017. The increasing demand for Benthic services results from the fact that it has a system that
has been shown to be the most productive for the collection of geotechnical data. In particular,
no other system is able to offer the productivity of PROD in deep and challenging water
conditions, including extreme slopes of the seabed beyond 20 degrees.
Challenges/ successes
In 2014, the PROD presented an excellent performance in the ultra deepwater geologies of
Mozambique, which give him opportunities to carry out other successful projects for Anadarko
in 2015 (Greg Fyffe, vice president of operations of Benthic; apud Oil Review Africa) and in
2018 has been awarded with another contract (www.benthic.com &
www.offshoreenergytoday.com). Also, according to Benthic's site, in February 2017 to Benthic
Brazil Ltd, the subsidiary of Benthic Geotech Pty Ltd, concluded ahead of schedule and in the
highest standards of quality and safety the offshore phase of a geotechnical investigation in the
Libra Consortium. This proved the improved capacity, the quality of the data and the efficiency
of the PROD system in the Brazilian market, Benthic is confident in a bright future in Brazil.
Benthic is building a new generation of PROD Technology to significantly expand the
capability to drill deeper into the seaside. For the next few years Benthic plans the following
(apud European Oil & Gas):
• Remain active in the entire range of the geosciences business,
• Joint ventures or cooperation agreements with various engineering companies
specializing in the oil and gas industry, aiming to provide a growing range of services
to our customers
