Our vision is to redefine how offshore survey operations are performed
Industries:
O & G
NEW ENERGIES
CCS
Services
FramGeo, when operational, will deliver offshore surveys safely and efficiently with minimal manual handling
Site survey
Offshore site surveys for oil & gas, CCS and offshore wind projects. These surveys vary in scale and typically incorporate many of the supporting services outlined on this page.
Seismic survey
We conduct any type of shallow seismic survey from 2D/3D HR to 2D/3D EHR, and can deploy a variety of configuration to meet Clients objective.
Route survey
We provide all types of route surveys for cables, pipelines, and umbilical’s. Our services cover both reconnaissance surveys and detailed construction surveys.
Light Geotechnical
We perform geotechnical surveys including 6m gravity/vibro coring and CPT, pushing down to 40m.
Environmental survey
We offer environmental surveys, including baseline and habitat assessments. We acquire data using drop‑down cameras, ROVs and grab samplers.
Hydrography
We conduct hydrographic surveys using the most recent multibeam echo sounders, delivering high‑resolution and accurate seabed mapping.
Data Management
GIS and spatial data management are at the core of everything we do. We provide end‑to‑end services across GIS, spatial data management, and advanced analytics. With a proven track record in applying the Seabed Survey Data Model (SSDM) and extensive experience in both desktop and enterprise GIS.
Data interpretation
We leverage AI and state-of-the-art software to integrate and analyze all acquired data. From this analysis, we assess risk, deliver expert advice, and produce detailed reports.

Background
FramGeo AS is a Norwegian survey company built on decades of industry experience. We deliver high-quality survey solutions to the oil & gas, CCS and offshore wind sectors, with a clear ambition to become the preferred partner across Europe.
Our name reflects who we are and where we’re going. Fram means “forward” in Norwegian, and it is also the name of the legendary polar expedition vessel that pushed the boundaries of polar exploration. Inspired by this legacy, we are driven to move the industry forward by embracing innovation and continuously explore smarter and more efficient ways of conducting offshore survey operations.

Our values
First part of our name FRAM, Norwegian for FORWARD, is embedded in everything we do. Fridtjof Nansen named the polar ship Fram because that was his goal: to push forward through the ice toward the North Pole. The name captured the spirit of the expedition: forward momentum, unwavering optimism, and the determination to never give up. We want to embed the same spirit with the following values:
F
Fellowship
We support each other and work as a team to create a genuinely friendly workplace
R
Reliable
We keep our word and deliver consistently
A
Agile
We move fast, adapt quickly, and stay ahead through innovation
M
Mindful
We act responsibly, supporting the well-being of our people and care for our planet
