Pakistani energy firm hires EMGS for offshore data

Mari Energies has contracted Electromagnetic Geoservices to acquire controlled-source electromagnetic data offshore Pakistan.

By the CEII Desk, from reporting by Offshore Energy

Key points

  • EMGS received a letter of award from Mari Energies for offshore geophysical work.
  • The project covers multiple exploration blocks in Pakistani waters.
  • Data will be combined with seismic inputs to lower exploration risks.

What happened

Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS), a geophysical services provider based in Norway, has secured a contract with Mari Energies, an upstream petroleum enterprise in Pakistan. According to Offshore Energy, the agreement involves acquiring controlled-source electromagnetic data across several exploration blocks located offshore.

Why it matters

The survey aims to refine prospect assessments and mitigate geological uncertainties prior to drilling operations. By integrating resistivity measurements from the EMGS technology with existing seismic and geological archives, project stakeholders hope to enhance decision-making processes for upcoming wells.

In a statement published on social media, EMGS expressed gratitude to Mari Energies and its joint venture associates for selecting the firm for the offshore campaign, highlighting productive technical discussions held with the company's management.

Context from CEII

Crude benchmarks move budgets, currencies and inflation in producer and importer countries alike. For economies such as Nigeria, where fuels dominate exports, production and refining decisions move the whole economy.

9.5% of world merchandise exports were fuels in 2025
