Sample interview questions: Can you describe any experience you have with offshore geohazard assessments?
Sample answer:
-
Singapore Offshore Geohazard Assessment Project (2021):
-
Conducted a comprehensive geohazard assessment study involving geophysical investigations (seismic reflection and multi-beam bathymetry), geotechnical surveys, and laboratory testing for a proposed offshore oil and gas development project in the Gulf of Thailand.
- Led a team of engineers and geologists to interpret the collected data and assess the potential geohazards, including submarine landslides, shallow gas, and faults.
- Identified and evaluated the risks associated with each geohazard, taking into account the geotechnical properties of the soil and the specific design requirements of the project.
-
Developed mitigation measures and recommendations to address the identified geohazards, considering both engineering feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
-
West Africa Offshore Geohazard Assessment Study (2019):
-
Conducted a geohazard assessment for an offshore pipeline project in the West African region, involving desktop studies, geophysical data analysis, and geotechnical investigations.
- Assessed the potential geohazards along the pipeline route, including seabed stability, scour, and geomagnetic disturbances, considering both natural and anthropogenic factors.
- Evaluated the potential impact of the geohazards on the pipeline integrity and design, considering various load scenarios and failure mechanisms.
-
Developed detailed recommendations for pipeline design, construction, and monitoring to mitigate the identified geohazards and ensure the long-term integrity of the pipeline.
