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
