ARGAS, standing on the commitment to be a leading provider of geophysical exploration services, has announced the acquisition of the first permanent helicopter-borne Time Domain Electromagnetics (TDEM) system in Saudi Arabia. This significant investment marks a major milestone in the Kingdom’s geophysical exploration capabilities, offering unparalleled access to cutting-edge technology for a wide range of industries.
The newly acquired TDEM system will be fully available to all companies operating within Saudi Arabia. This accessibility will significantly enhance exploration efforts across various sectors, including:
- Oil & Gas: Precisely mapping subsurface structures to identify potential hydrocarbon reservoirs.
- Mining: Locating and delineating mineral deposits with greater accuracy.
- Groundwater Exploration: Identifying and characterizing aquifers for sustainable water resources management.
- Geotechnical Engineering: Assessing subsurface conditions for infrastructure projects, such as bridges, tunnels, and buildings.
- Environmental Studies: Investigating subsurface contamination and monitoring remediation efforts.
“We are thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art TDEM system to the Saudi Arabian market,” said Moath Al Rawi. “This investment underscores our commitment to advancing geophysical exploration capabilities within the Kingdom. By providing accessible access to this cutting-edge technology, we aim to support the growth of various industries and contribute to the sustainable development of Saudi Arabia.”
The TDEM system utilizes electromagnetic fields to generate detailed subsurface images. Its high-resolution data provides valuable insights into the electrical conductivity of the subsurface, enabling geologists and geophysicists to accurately map geological structures, identify potential hazards, and optimize exploration and development plans.
ARGAS will offer a comprehensive range of TDEM services, including:
- Data Acquisition: Utilizing experienced crews and state-of-the-art equipment to collect high-quality TDEM data.
- Data Processing & Interpretation: Employing advanced software and expert interpretation to generate accurate subsurface models.
- Project Management: Providing end-to-end project management, from initial planning and design to final data delivery and interpretation.
This acquisition further solidifies ARGAS’s position as a leading provider of geophysical exploration services in Saudi Arabia. By investing in cutting-edge technology and providing accessible solutions, ARGAS continues to play a vital role in advancing the Kingdom’s energy, mining, and infrastructure sectors.
