What We Do

The exploration of oil, gas and mineral deposits drive the global economy, as existing reserves dwindle, ensuring an adequate supply for the future requires exploration for new supplies.

Inhospitable and inaccessible environments are increasingly the focus of these survey activities, but exploration managers find it demanding to operate in such uncharted territory, often lacking detailed maps and basic geological information about the areas they are interested in.

Pacific Helicopters have been involved in such projects for 40 years. Our team can provide the local knowledge and expertise for you to be successful in the frontier country of Papua New Guinea.

Pacific Helicopters has extensive experience assisting with seismic surveys. We have recognised the requirement to create a team of specialists dedicated to this unique role, employing first class pilots, hand-picked for the essential skill set required.
