Magseis Fairfield has been awarded a deep-water OBN project in the Mexican sector of the Gulf of Mexico. Work is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2020 and will take approx. 60 days. The survey will be carried out in water depths of 2000 to 2600 m.
Magseis Fairfield’s ZXPLR crew in the REM Saltire node handling vessel will carry out the survey. The new award increases the crew’s backlog into the fourth quarter 2020, following the two deep-water OBN programmes announced in December 2019.
‘The work is for a repeat customer who completed a survey in the US Gulf of Mexico earlier in 2020,’ said Carel Hooijkaas, Magseis Fairfield CEO. ‘This is the first deep-water OBN survey in Mexico following the 2013 Energy Reform.’
