Overview of projects and operations – February 2025
February saw a continuation of service operations – some nearing completion and others still ahead of us. We recover CPODs, deploy signal buoys and AWAC profilers, and continue UXO and hydrochemical surveys. We are looking forward to the upcoming challenges and the launch of surveys for the next projects. We are monitoring the weather, keeping our fingers crossed for optimistic forecasts.
Desk-based analyses are in progress, with seismic data handed over to the Client, while further reports, MBES data and SSS data are ready for submission. The heroic struggle with project documentation is also underway.
The Seismo Team has been preparing the ground for new projects, developing QC project templates for the SBP and SCS campaigns to ensure compliance with all MEWO standards and procedures on a ‘plug and play’ basis – without having to set up and fine tune the parameters each time. We also managed to compile the documentation for QC projects – a multi-page study in the form of a manual, with descriptions of all parameters and processes, currently ready for SBPs and SCSs, with documentation for processing and MCS QC projects also on the horizon. As for the MCS QC, the team is beginning intensive QC and processing training on internal test data – we are rolling up our sleeves and getting prepared for the next major seismic projects.
Our leaders & change
A sizeable group of MEWO managers took part in a two-day training course on ‘Change – People, Emotions, Development’, discussing different aspects of change.
Why it sometimes ‘hurts’, resistance to change, a flexible approach to change, a cognitive approach to stress, and stress in the context of change.
There are plans to cover these topics with another group of leaders.
Our experts sharing their know-how
Many of our most experienced experts share their knowledge through workshops and training sessions. One of these, addressed to a group of surveyors, focused on mobilising test and measurement equipment.
2 EXPO HR
Our HR Department Manager participated in an HR conference where, in addition to networking, she attended various lectures and workshops.
She gathered knowledge on optimising the recruitment process, stress and loneliness statistics, non-wage benefits, as well as HR challenges in a three-generation work environment.
29.01.2025 Equinor Marine Safety and Sustainability Seminar 2025 – Stavanger
On 29 January, our HSE Superintendent Marek Grzegorzewski represented MEWO at the 2025 Equinor Marine Safety and Sustainability Seminar. MEWO has been a part of this event for the past 3 years.
The organiser invites its Contractors to the seminar to share experiences on HSE issues encountered during Equinor projects – they are presented and discussed by both Contractors and Equinor on a ‘case study’ basis.
We are honoured to be a member of this community thanks to our pre-investment environmental surveys. The credit goes to all of us – both the Surveyors and Engineers at sea, and the team managing projects from the head office.
MEWO’s charity initiatives
Encouraged by our Fleet Manager and supported by our Logistics Department, we collected food from a vessel that had been stocked for longer than needed. On 6 February, the food was distributed to children’s homes supervised by the Social Innovation Foundation.
