Magseis Fairfield has become the first company to complete the acquisition of 100 ocean bottom node (OBN) surveys.
Magseis Fairfield has become the first company to complete the acquisition of 100 ocean bottom node (OBN) surveys.
The survey for BP over various assets in the US Gulf of Mexico used ZXPLR node technology and is offsetting carbon emissions, making it what Magseis Fairfield claims is the first carbon neutral survey to be acquired.
‘OBN seismic data is key for our operations in Gulf of Mexico and continues to provide significant value when imaging our reservoirs, derisking our drilling programmes, and enabling a shift in performance through a data driven development strategy.’ said Peter Evans, vice-president Subsurface GoM and Canada at BP.
Meanwhile, Magseis Fairfield has announced its strategy to become carbon neutral by 2040 or earlier.
Over the last year Magseis Fairfield has switched to low sulphur diesel fuel in Q3 2020, reducing overall SOx emissions by 87% on the crews which were operational at that time, and by rolling out Maress software in Q1 2021 on all vessels. ‘This software allows us to accurately measure the remaining emissions, and then enables a science and technology-based approach to further reduce emissions,’ said the company in a statement.
Over the last year Magseis Fairfield has also reduced waste streams, implemented remote access, reuse and recycle, and supported the clean ocean initiative.
