Peter Zickerman’s marine seismic player PXGEO has secured a new contract with Brazil’s Petrobras for a 4D ocean bottom node (OBN) survey.
The survey in the Santos Basin will be carried out in water depths up to 2,200 m and last for approximately seven months.
PXGEO has executed several OBN projects for Petrobras, which presented it with its “Best Supplier in Seismic” award in October.
Earlier this year, the company contracted Sweden’s Saab to deliver more than 20 autonomous underwater vehicles that will be used for deployment and recovery of equipment during ocean bottom surveys.
