PGS has secured a contract from Petrobras to conduct a 4D seismic acquisition survey over two Brazilian offshore fields.
The contract will involve surveying the Roncador and Albacora Leste fields, both located in the Campos basin.
The survey is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2022 and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of the same year.
A Ramform-class vessel will be used for the survey works.
PGS president and CEO Rune Olav Pedersen said: “We are very pleased to provide this significant 4D survey for Petrobras in the prolific Campos basin. We have acquired several 4D surveys offshore Brazil and gained significant operational experience.
“We appreciate Petrobras’ recognition of our Ramform-vessel acquisition platform and our GeoStreamer technology, which are well suited for large, high-quality 4D acquisition programmes.”
