Shearwater GeoServices has won a big contract for deepwater Ocean Bottom Node seismic acquisition for the Tupi and Iracema projects in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
This will be the largest OBN seismic survey in Brazil at the Tupi field, considered Brazil’s first super-giant oil field.
Shearwater described it is a base survey for potential future 4D surveys. ‘OBN is an exciting, growing and future-oriented sub-segment of the marine seismic industry. It reflects our scale, high-end vessels and dedication to technology, and represents a substantial addition to our backlog,’ said Irene Waage Basili, the CEO of Shearwater GeoServices.
The Tupi and Iracema surveys will start in Q3 2021 and are expected to last approx. nine months. They cover a total of 2882 km2, utilizing deepwater ocean bottom nodes deployed by ROV and Shearwater’s 3x3 nine-string triple source. Shearwater will use the SW Diamond and one additional vessel to execute the contract.
