I SURVEYING
IN SHELL
Call 070-776165 for more information
The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies uses a great
variety of survey techniques for their world-wide activities. The
topographical departments in the group companies work
together with teams of geophysicists, geologists and engineers
to conduct exploration surveys and carry out engineering
projects for the development of oil and gas fields.
The extension of these activities in increasingly difficult and
hostile environments makes it necessary to continuously exploit
new survey techniques.
For our offshore work we use the whole range of radio-
positioning and underwater acoustic systems, satellite Doppler
positioning and laser ranging. On land we make extensive use
of satellite Doppler positioning to establish survey control, while
Inertial surveying and self registering theodolites are
increasingly used for detailed survey work.
Surveyors with an adventurous mind and a keen interest in
the application of new techniques find this work environment
very challenging and rewarding.
