Shearwater GeoServices has won two contracts to carry out surveys offshore India in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal to add to its growing roster of work in the region.
The company is shooting a 3D broadband marine seismic acquisition campaign for ONGC in western offshore India. The project is scheduled to commence in Q1 2020.
The four-month survey covers 2000 km2 of 3D data in a shallow-water area of the Arabian Sea. The contract award follows last month’s announcement of a combined 2D and 3D broadband marine seismic survey for ONGC off the east coast of India.
The company has also been awarded a 3D broadband marine seismic acquisition contract by Reliance Industries in the Bay of Bengal, India. The project is scheduled to commence in Q2 2020.
The survey covers 1500 km2 of block KG-UDWHP-2018/1 in the Krishna-Godavari basin and will be executed by the vessel Polar Duchess using a dual source design.
‘We are pleased to receive these awards in India, including Reliance as a new customer,’ said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater GeoServices. ‘This is the third contract we have won in India in recent weeks. As we continue to build our position in India, we expect increased utilization for our fleet in Asia supported by short transits between contracts.’
