Norwegian offshore seismic specialist Shearwater GeoServices has been awarded a hybrid ocean bottom node and towed streamer seismic survey by OMV over the Berling gas and condensate discovery off Norway.
Spanning 1,040 sq km, the survey will commence in July and last for three months.
Shearwater’s vessels SW Tasman and Oceanic Vega will lead the operations. SW Tasman will operate as an ROV node deployment vessel for the first time, following its conversion announced last October and will deploy the nodes before Oceanic Vega acquire the towed streamer survey.
“By completing the conversion of SW Tasman, Shearwater has adapted our fleet to control more operational factors inhouse as we meet the increased demand in the seabed market,” said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater. “We are looking forward to demonstrate our upgraded capabilities to OMV on this innovative towed and OBN hybrid survey.”
