The project has an expected duration of 6-7 months and is expected to commence during April 2017. The survey features complicated surface and geological conditions with a combination of deep and shallow marine work.
The combination of Magseis’ OBS technology (MASS) and BGP’s transition zone expertise ensured the extension to the consortium. M/V Artemis Athene, Magseis’ OBS vessel, will be used for the survey.
Commenting on the extension, Magseis CEO Idar Horstad said: “We are very pleased to receive this new award that demonstrates our ability to deliver large and complex projects. We view this as a sign of confidence from our end- client Saudi Aramco and a confirmation of the high-quality product that our joint operation delivers.
