What does Hussain Abbas do after working offshore all day, surrounded by water? He goes swimming, of course.

Hussain Abbas

Supervisor, Hydrographic Survey Unit

As supervisor of our Hydrographic Survey Unit, Hussain oversees offshore survey operations. Surveying is an important step before undertaking any offshore project, such as pipeline work or drilling rig moves.

Sail with Hussain aboard the Karan-8, a survey ship outfitted with high-tech sensors, a remotely operated underwater vehicle or ROV and seismic equipment. Hussain and his team collect and process data to enable engineers and project managers to visualize the sea floor.

Hussain loves the constant challenges of his work and he understands the important contribution he and his team make to the success of the company's operations – and to the success of his country as well.
