Shearwater has won a contract or an ocean bottom seismic (OBS) 4D survey from Aker BP at the Ivar Aasen field in the Norwegian North Sea.
The survey will commence in Q2 2021 and will employ Shearwater’s multi-purpose vessels the SW Cook and SW Tasman, using proprietary technology. The project duration is approx. 1 month.
Meanwhile, Shearwater has won a contract for a 3D multi-sensor marine seismic survey in the Otway Basin, offshore Australia.
The two-month survey is expected to start in Q3 2021 covering an estimated 2700 km2, employing the vessel Geo Coral using a multisensor streamer system with a variable streamer spacing configuration.
‘We see a solid, consistent level of activity in Australia where we have multiple projects booked in 2021, said Basili. ‘We observe increasing regional demand for our vessels equipped with high-end technology, which is reflected in backlog and utilization.’
Finally, Shearwater has won a contract for a 4D monitor marine seismic acquisition survey in Angola from Total.
‘We have seen a notable increase in interest for 4D technology for our clients’ planned projects in 2021, which is demonstrated by the award of this project in West Africa’, said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater.
The survey comprises a two-month project on the GJDR Development area of Block 17 commencing in Q1 2021.
One of Shearwater’s multi-sensor equipped vessels will be used for the survey in conjunction with source vessels from the Shearwater fleet.
