Shearwater Geoservices has won its first project in Vietnam, a towed streamer 3D acquisition for SK Innovation – the operator of Block 16-2.
The survey covers 900 km2 in Block 16-2 of the Cuu Long Basin, which is offshore southern Vietnam and the most important petroleum-producing basin in the country. Shearwater has deployed the vessel SW Duchess for the survey.
‘This will be Shearwater’s first seismic survey in Vietnam and our first project for SK Innovation’, said Irene Waage Basili, the CEO of Shearwater GeoServices. ‘We are well-established in South East Asia and look forward to further expanding our regional operations through this new survey.’
Meanwhile, Shearwater has won a contract for a large towed-streamer 3D acquisition and fast-track processing project for Total in the west African country of Mauritania.
The 6000 km2 survey over the C15 and C31 blocks uses an ultra-wide tow Flexisource configuration, the largest triple source spread to date, together with fast-track processing, enabled by Shearwater’s proprietary Reveal software. The two-and-a-half-month survey is scheduled to start in Q3 2020, adding to other recent activity in North West Africa for Shearwater, and will be carried out by the vessel SW Empress (formerly Polar Empress).
