The company said that the Lodestone survey complements the existing high-quality, recent vintage Cornerstone and Runestone surveys located in the Central and Northern North Sea Basins.
The Lodestone survey provides long-offset data using Sentinel solid streamers, which are essential when imaging the variable-quality and compartmentalized Permian and Carboniferous reservoirs lying beneath complex salt bodies, using high-end processing techniques.
CGGVeritas executive vice president of Multi-Client & New Ventures Luc Schlumberger said that given the increasing interest of the industry in the southern North Sea, the company believes that Lodestone will offer a high-quality resource to unlock the full potential of this prolific basin.
CGGVeritas is a pure-play geophysical company delivering a range of technologies, services and equipment through Sercel, to its customers mainly, throughout the global oil and gas industry.
