Shearwater deploying dual source/node service for West Africa OBN survey

Shearwater Geoservices will deploy the SW Tasman vessel for a newly awarded deepwater ocean-bottom node (OBN) survey offshore West Africa.

The one-month program will be the first to feature the vessel’s combined seismic source and dual-ROV node deployment capability for a deepwater OBN survey operation, and it will be the first deployment of Shearwater’s Pearl node technology in the region.

CEO Irene Waage Basili said this combination improves survey efficiency and enables deepwater OBN surveys “in environments where cost barriers historically have been too high."
