Iceland GeoSurvey carries out work related to marine surveys of the ocean floor, interpreting geophysical data of the sea bottom to define the extent of Iceland’s continental shelf. The results of such surveys are an important tool in international discussions vis-à-vis national claims on gas and oil drilling rights.
Iceland GeoSurvey provides consultancy to the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs regarding the continental shelf and possible rival claims to seabed rights from other nations. The company has participated in the search for indicators of oil and gas deposits off the north of Iceland, and consults with the Ministry of Industry and Energy to plan future exploitation of such resources.

The services include:

  • Law of the sea studies.
  • Marine geology.
  • Petroleum geology.
  • Multibeam and seismic survey planning and interpretation.
