About Scurbàt

Our Mission

ACQUISITION OF RELIABLE AND HIGH-QUALITY GEOPHYSICAL DATA.

At Scurbàt we firmly believe that acquiring good data is the main reason why we do what we do. No shortcuts are tolerated when it comes to data acquisition. If high quality data is acquired, the processing and interpretation will be supported by certainty and good science, and the reporting will be issued with confidence.

OPEN AND HONEST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIENT.

This is a fundamental step in assuring the best outcome for the project. A clear understanding of the scope from the client and an honest clarification of what can be achieved with geophysics, together with transparency on budget, is the foundation of a successful investigation.

The Company

Scurbàt Geophysics was founded in 2017 with a clear objective in mind, “any service provided will be of exceptional quality”. This has been our driving force from the beginning and still is.

Scurbàt Geophysics is an agile contractor with a dynamic, engaging, and efficient work environment. Due to the flexibility of the contracts, we can maintain a network of specialist partners to cover each of the components of our surveys (e.g., geophysical fieldwork, logistics, vessels, field-management in remote locations, marine and land seismic acquisition and processing).

The Company provides complete geophysical studies, from scoping to site investigation, acquisition, data processing, interpretation and reporting, or any individual step of the process that fits into clients’ operations.

We provide services to geotechnical and geophysical companies as well as private industry and government departments.

At Scurbàt we value the wellbeing and safety of the employees and all personnel involved in our projects (e.g., client, subcontractors etc.) above all. Scurbàt does not tolerate any breach or shortcuts in Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) rules and regulations.
