CSA provides marine environmental consulting services for the offshore energy industry, including Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Baseline Studies associated with the sustainable exploration and production of offshore oil, gas, and wind resources. CSA’s Energy team is comprised of experts in both marine science and marine operations. This expertise is combined with CSA’s suite of specialized equipment for environmental sampling and geophysical mapping in coastal, marine, and deepwater settings. Working in challenging marine environments and often in remote locations, CSA’s knowledge and experience are crucial to managing environmental risks, complying with regulations, and executing offshore work safely and efficiently.
Oil & Gas
CSA has an established track record of designing and executing marine environmental baseline surveys and impact assessments of offshore oil & gas projects. Our experts also routinely review deepwater imagery collected using remotely operated vehicles to examine and characterize benthic habitats before and after exploration activities. CSA’s services for offshore oil & gas also include environmental preparedness, oil spill response, and natural resource damage assessment.
Renewables
For the offshore wind industry, CSA’s services typically involve marine mammal detection systems and benthic habitat characterization including geophysical mapping, benthic imaging, and sediment sampling. CSA also serves the unique needs of clients and projects seeking to leverage breakthrough technologies to harvest alternative renewable energy sources, such as wave, tidal, solar, and hydroelectric power.
Carbon Capture & Sequestration
Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) presents a timely opportunity to mitigate the impacts associated with carbon dioxide emissions. CSA’s Energy team is spearheading this effort by partnering with developers to process and validate essential ocean data for CCS projects.
