    OSLO/HOUSTON – Magseis Fairfield has received an award for a deepwater ocean bottom node project in the Mexican sector of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Work is scheduled to start in 3Q 2020 and will take about 60 days. The survey will be carried out in water depths of 2,000 to 2,600 m (6,562 to 8,530 ft).

    The award adds further to the backlog for the company’s ZXPLR crew, led by the REM Saltire node handling vessel. The new award increases the crew’s backlog into 4Q 2020, following the two deepwater OBN programs announced in December 2019.

    This is the first deepwater OBN survey in Mexico following the 2013 Energy Reform.
