In 20XX, the Government of Ghana aimed to enhance power generation capacity by utilizing natural gas from the Western Corridor offshore Ghana as part of its industrialization policy. To optimize the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the 10-km pipeline connecting GNGC TRMS to the Karpowership barge at Sekondi, Envaserv Research Consult (ERC) was engaged to conduct bathymetric and geophysical surveys. These included (i) single-beam echo sounding, (ii) multi-beam echo sounding (high-resolution swath bathymetry), (iii) side-scan sonar, (iv) sub-bottom profiling, and (v) magnetometry. ERC used the survey data to produce a comprehensive engineering report, including bathymetric charts, seabed topography, seabed features, soil conditions, and isopach charts of sediment thickness and reflectors. This information was crucial in selecting the optimal route for the pipeline and supporting the overall engineering design.
