Modern offshore site investigation techniques provide data sets that enable geoscientists to combine their geophysical and geological expertise to accurately identify and characterize geohazards, both at the seafloor and over the formation depths, which will influence design decisions within the development process. During the design life of offshore facilities, identified geohazards can be categorized as either dormant-i.e., resulting from unique, relic geological events or features, with no reactivation mechanism-or active, when associated with transient phenomena or features that have a defined trigger.
