Seabed Geosolutions Secures Contract for Largest Ever OBN Survey
Seabed Geosolutions, a joint venture between Fugro and CGG, has been awarded a large 3D ocean bottom node (OBN) survey in the Santos Basin in Brazil. Seabed Geosolutions’ new Manta node system will be used. The seven month contract is valued at around EUR 80 million and is scheduled to commence at the end of the Q4- 2017 or early 2018.
Stephan Midenet, CEO of Seabed Geosolutions says, “We are very pleased to partner again with Petrobras to acquire the industry’s largest ever OBN survey, spanning more than 1,600 km2. We will deploy our new Manta technology on this high-profile project, delivering a breakthrough in efficiency of ocean bottom surveys. We are confident that our crew, in close cooperation with Petrobras, will be setting new safety, data quality and efficiency standards for deep-water nodal surveys allowing for cost effective acquisition in both large scale and 4D projects.”
