Equipment Procurement & Deployment
Odyssey supports exploration license holders and government partners by designing comprehensive offshore mineral exploration work plans grounded in scientific analysis, regulatory alignment, and operational efficiency. From legacy data review through offshore execution, Odyssey ensures projects are positioned for long-term success.
Odyssey begins by analyzing available legacy scientific and geophysical data to identify promising areas for mineral exploration. Using GIS-based modeling, large offshore regions are evaluated and refined into prospective license blocks optimized for both geological potential and operational feasibility.
Based on this analysis, Odyssey develops customized exploration work plans that include high-resolution mapping, remote sensing, and targeted sampling strategies. These plans are designed to achieve key project milestones—such as inferred resource assessments and environmental baseline documentation—that align with our partners’ broader business objectives, while remaining cost-effective and scalable.
Work plans incorporate environmental data collection alongside geological sampling to support future Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and regulatory submissions. We also scope and recommend the appropriate technologies, including seabed drills, coring and drilling systems, remotely operated and autonomous systems, and bulk sampling tools, to maximize data quality and reduce uncertainty in resource modeling.
All planned activities are mapped to clear budgets and timelines to help partners plan funding cycles, manage cash flow, and maintain alignment with license conditions and project schedules.
Odyssey enables efficient execution of offshore mineral projects by defining precise technical requirements and managing procurement through a trusted network of manufacturers, system integrators, and field operators. By identifying technology gaps early, we proactively adapt existing systems or guide the development of new tools tailored to specific project demands. This strategic approach reduces delays, ensures fit-for-purpose capability, and accelerates progress toward key technical and commercial milestones—enhancing overall project value through innovation and operational efficiency.
Odyssey applies advanced data management systems to support every stage of offshore mineral exploration. From early assessments to regulatory submissions, the company ensures precise, secure, and organized data handling throughout the project lifecycle. Odyssey’s team structures and analyzes both desktop research and legacy geoscientific data, establishing a strong foundation for successful mineral rights applications.
The company conducts initial assessments of mineral potential and evaluates environmental conditions across broad marine areas, while meticulously managing offshore data collection. From sampling to documentation, all data is cataloged and securely uploaded to Odyssey’s systems. Physical samples are carefully tracked through processing by accredited analytical laboratories to maintain the highest standards of quality.
Odyssey works in close collaboration with leading technical experts—including geologists, environmental scientists, and other specialists—to produce reliable, regulator-ready documentation. This includes resource reports, environmental assessments, and comprehensive materials required for formal submissions. At every stage, Odyssey adheres to local data standards and coordinates with in-country legal advisors to ensure full regulatory compliance and transparent engagement with authorities.
