Benchmark provides personnel to field operations, local office and management centres for Geophysical Exploration activities world wide.
The focus of all our services is Project Management and Loss Control - Profit Enhancing Activities.
Estimations of the losses attributable to accidents varies between industries and nations but there are three common agreements:
- These losses run in billions of dollars.
- These losses do not get accurately identified in the vast majority of cases until after failure.
- These losses can be prevented by a continuous system of establishing good working practices, monitoring and review.
Estimates of the losses attributable to inefficient data acquisition on seismic surveys, positioning errors and poor data integrity equally run into vast sums and are well known. However, these are seen as the responsibility of each commercial entity and do not have the common knowledge platform striven for in HSE. This is where consultant services again provide exceptional value.
Benchmark can help to cut the potential for losses far more efficiently than you can invest in your business to achieve a growth in market share that would produce extra profits equivalent to those losses.
The Geophysical Industry has had its share of fatalities, from the Arctic Explorer on the 3rd of July in 1981 with 13 lives lost; through deaths from explosions, drowning and RTA's continuing right through to this day. Some may not be reported or acknowledged but their cost is still no less.
The Geophysical Industry has had significant material losses and these also continue to this day with two flagship seismic vessels lost during the early years of this century. In hindsight the root causes of all could have been identified, challenged, removed or mitigated.
Significant losses in the E&P Industry could be atributed to inaccurate seismic data or unnecessarily poor data quality. Such losses can arise when project management and Quality Control is not applied in the correct manner or the availability of such tools is ignored.
Let us help you improve and protect your profits and make the industry a better one to work in without taking the fun out of it.
