The R/V Miss Emma McCall has recently joined the TDI-Brooks’ fleet of offshore research vessels. The Miss Emma is a multi-use oceanographic research vessel outfitted for a wide variety of oceanographic research duties for operations in the Northern/Southern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), US East Coast and elsewhere in the Americas.

The Miss Emma is equipped to acquire geophysical surveys for offshore hazard/site clearance assessments, pipeline/cable routing, seafloor mapping, port and channel conditions, fisheries habitat mapping and burial assessment studies. She is also well suited to perform geotechnical sediment and seabed coring/CPT for wind farm and LNG port facilities, pre/post excavation dredging. The Miss Emma McCall encompasses satellite communications (voice, fax, and email), differential GPS, geophysical survey gear and two (2) A-frames with high-speed winches.

The Miss Emma McCall was recently mobilized to Mexico to complete two (2) EPOS projects in Mexico for TOTAL in Blk. 2 (Perdido) and Capricorn Energy Mexico (CAIRN) in Blk. 9 (Sureste Basin). The Block 2 EPOS program was in deep-water (~3,300 m) offshore northern Mexico, while the CAIRN project was a shallow water project in the Gulf of Campeche. These were the first EPOS programs completed in Mexico in this COVID work environment.

In the past 3 years, TDI-Brooks has acquired nineteen (19) EBS or EPOS programs in Mexico for eight (8) major Oil & Gas firms all safely and efficiently without any incidences. TDI-Brooks remains focused on the planning, acquisition, post-drilling and analytical components of these ASEA required EBS/EPOS projects. We team with Maxon Consulting who provides the regulatory and interpretative reporting components.
