ION Geophysical has won a contract with an exploration and production company in the Middle East and from a government in East Africa for its Marlin digital infrastructure.
The awards are for the deployment and support of Marlin in multi-year contracts. First-year revenues from the contracts are expected to exceed more than $10 million in aggregate.
Sheila Rodermund, executive vice-president, Operations Optimization, said: ‘This contract is a clear signal of the proven success has Marlin demonstrated in the region through its ability to handle simultaneous operations in what is a very complex maritime area with multiple platforms, shipping vessels, and fishing activity.
Chris Usher, Ion CEO added: ‘Through our award of a Letter of Intent by an East African government ministry to support their maritime monitoring efforts, the Marlin platform demonstrates its flexibility in supporting various maritime-related operations.
In this deployment, Marlin and its Marlin SmartPort module will offer our client a means to better understand and manage their maritime traffic, thereby increasing operational efficiencies, reducing emissions, securing their seas against illegal activity, as well as ultimately improving their profitability.’
