Introduction

Disasters could happen to your projects anytime. For instance, a project could be delayed for months and loss a significant amount of cost just to wait for a flood to cease or else your valuable tools could be swept away by extreme winds. Therefore, considering weather prediction became one of the key factors in planning field operations. It is crucial to assess potential risks to minimize accidents, avoid work disruptions, and prevent unexpected costs. At PT Bhumi Warih Geohydromatics, we understand this need and offer expertise in delivering Seasonal Weather Outlook, a vital tool for effective operational planning.

Success Story: Supporting PT Elnusa Tbk

One of our recent projects involved delivering a Seasonal Weather Outlook for seismic onshore survey planned by PT Elnusa Tbk in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatra. During this engagement, we provided rainfall forecasts covering several months, aiding the team in optimizing operations during November 2024 to January 2025 in a flood-prone area.

“The seasonal rainfall forecast met our needs and exceeded expectations, supported by highly responsive service from the provider.” — Party Chief, PT Elnusa Tbk
