DUBAI, UAE – Polarcus Ltd. has started the multi-vessel wide-azimuth project for WesternGeco in the Salina del Istmo basin offshore Mexico.
The project incorporates two Polarcus high-end streamer vessels plus two source vessels. The estimated duration is about four months; a total of eight vessel months.
The seismic data acquired by the company will be transferred via satellite directly to the client using Polarcus Cirrus. This, the company claims, provides near real-time access to high fidelity seismic data allowing for faster, more informed project decisions, and contributing to shortening the exploration cycle.
According to Polarcus CEO Duncan Eley, this is the second commercial project using the company’s data transfer and cloud processing offering.
