Geology & Geoscience
Geoscience work within the group since 2004, delivered through Asbar Geosciences, a subsidiary since 2021: geotechnical investigations, borehole logging, geophysical surveys and hydrogeological consulting, including more than 1,500 boreholes for the Riyadh Metro and fifteen years of well logging for a government environment and water body.
Geoscience services
Geological & Hydrogeological Consulting
Geology, hydrogeology and environmental studies — flood-risk and catchment analysis included.
Geophysical Surveys
Seismic, magnetic, gravity and GPR surveys, on the ground and airborne.
Borehole Geophysical Logging
Optical televiewer imagery, gamma, diameter and flowmeter logs — 1,500+ boreholes for the Riyadh Metro.
Geotechnical Investigations
Ground investigation for infrastructure: boreholes, in-situ testing and interpretation reports classifying discontinuities.
GIS, Remote Sensing & 3D Modelling
Geospatial data management and analysis, 3D/4D modelling and geodatabase design.
Exploration Drilling
Rotary, diamond-core and reverse-circulation drilling, coring and monitoring-well installation.
Borehole logging and imaging for the Riyadh Metro
Geophysical wireline logging for 500+ boreholes and optical-televiewer imagery for 1,000+ more across the Riyadh Metro works — for the project's contractors, with interpretation reports classifying discontinuities and their aperture.
Optical televiewer imageryGeoscience partners
We work with international geoscience institutions to transfer their expertise to the Kingdom.
