“Appreciate the
update. Good to know you all are watching the forecast. For your
information, we call Dolphin daily since the onset of the program
and post on the bulletin board.”

Installation Manager - 8/5/05
Weather is only one of
many variables in the daily operating life of an FPSO or Rig. While you
cannot control the weather, you can be informed and take action in
light of the forecast. Knowledge is Power!
Supply boats,
helicopter operations, loading, unloading, FPSO/Rig transits are all
extremely weather sensitive. Squall activity, fog, high wind and
waves, snow, ice, low temperatures – all play a role in what
happens in any given day on a site! To be prepared for any
weather situation, why not keep an experienced degreed
professional meteorologist from WRI on your “Staff”!
WRI can provide a daily (or sometimes
more frequent) forecast to your FPSO or Rig team via email, fax or phone.
Our forecast breaks down the given weather situation for each day
for an easy evaluation, so you and your staff can understand
the particular weather parameters which will affect the FPSO or
Rig and then make an informed and timely decision. Our forecast team
is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for phone
briefings from either your decision making team on land, or from
the operations personnel on the water.
During tropical season, we do not simply give you government advisories, WRI’s forecasters make
every effort to give you maximum lead-time in evaluating and
taking action for any threatening tropical
activity. Time is critical in the FPSO and Rig operations and WRI’s
advance tropical advice can mean the difference between 6 hours
and 24 hours advance notice of a pending tropical system. Can that
help your operations?
Additionally are you
comparing our service to the “free” information available on
the internet? Or even comparing to other weather companies? With
fast moving and strong weather systems, time is your greatest
ally for operating a safe and cost-effective operation.
We specialize in taking care of your individual needs. We
do not send out computer generated forecasts. Each forecast is
prepared by a meteorologist who knows your weather.
For an FPSO or Rig in
transit to a new location,
WRI can provide detailed weather information including wind,
waves, visibilities and precipitation for the shortest and
safest transit. Whether coastal or trans-ocean, our
seasoned staff of marine meteorologists will guide the vessel with
the latest weather information on an ongoing basis in an easy to
read and understandable format.
Why not keep a professional
team of meteorologists, with decades of experience on the
world’s ocean, specialists who take care of your
weather needs, on your team of consultants? Call us today
and we can show you the benefits of having WRI on your team. We
can also show you our Dolphin
web site in which you can view from your own PC at home or office,
detailed weather data and the daily forecast issued to the FPSO or
Rig.
Our goal is to keep you and your FPSO or Rig fully informed and
advised of every weather need.
