RESUMEN: La explotación de campos petroleros costa afuera, requiere de la innovación y adaptación de las técnicas exploratorias usadas en la práctica. El objetivo de las exploraciones geofísicas y geotécnicas, es obtener parámetros de diseño confiables para la construcción de infraestructura de explotación requerida. Los desafíos de los desarrollos petroleros costa afuera no dejan de presentarse día a día, lo que obliga a los técnicos a prever la aplicación de técnicas así como llevar a cabo la interpretación adecuada de los estudios. Los estudios exploratorios no están limitados, sin embargo dependen de la economía del proyecto y de las técnicas disponibles en el mercado. Este artículo presenta un panorama general de la importancia de los estudios geotécnicos y geofísicos, así como de los puntos clave relacionados con las evaluaciones de estabilidad de suelo necesarias para el diseño de la infraestructura submarina (ductos, umbilicales, árboles submarinos de producción, cimentaciones, anclajes, etc).
