What We Do
E&P companies spend millions annually on seabed surveys, vessel chartering, and offshore activities. GDS offers an innovative and cost-effective way to manage entire offshore fields, prevent costly mistakes, and optimize vessel operations.
Deploy a powerful cloud-based mapping application without expensive in-house development. Our team of GIS data specialists and software developers manage both the data and application, giving you a centralized spatial database with all as-built assets — pipelines, platforms, wells, slots, jack-up rig footprints, boreholes, site surveys, pipeline route surveys, debris surveys, and more.
E&P companies spend millions on vessel chartering and fuel with no accurate way to manage activities and costs. GDS offers a cost-effective way to monitor chartered vessels using state-of-the-art navigation technologies (GDS-GPS), providing frequent position, weather, and fuel sounding reports through our cloud-based platform.
Carefully plan and monitor anchoring operations, quickly assess jack-up rig suitability, and avoid costly leg and platform damage. Place to-scale rigs, barges, and vessels on the map, measure real distances and bearings to sub-sea assets, and confirm final positioning with precision.
Our Vision
To be the industry-leading one-stop solution for E&P companies to digitize and automate day-to-day offshore operations at an affordable cost.
Global Presence
Our platform supports offshore operations across key basins in the region, from the Gulf of Thailand to the waters off Sabah and Sarawak.
