Shearwater has been awarded a large time-lapse seismic imaging project over the Wheatstone field by Chevron Australia under an existing master contract.
This project award marks Shearwater’s continuing growth in the Asia Pacific region and use of its capability to deliver 4D seismic processing for one of Australia’s largest producing gas fields.
Shearwater’s Perth Processing Centre will combine geophysical expertise and Reveal software, for the processing of existing data, followed by time-lapse processing with newly acquired data.
“Shearwater has developed a strong 4D geophysical toolbox and expertise to deliver time-lapse seismic imaging,” said Simon Telfer, Shearwater’s SVP Software, Processing, and Imaging. “We opened our seismic processing centre in Perth in 2020, quickly establishing a strong technical team to deliver services and software in Australia. This award further deepens our long-term position in Australia and reflects Shearwater’s commitment to our clients in the region.”
North Sea Survey
Shearwater has also announced the award of a 3D survey of the Devil’s Hole Horst prospect in the UK North Sea by North Sea Natural Resources.
The towed streamer survey covers approximately 1,586km2 and will be carried out by the SW Bly. The one-month project will commence imminently.
“We are glad to welcome NSNR as a new Shearwater client and look forward to executing a safe, efficient survey to provide geophysical data over the prospect. The award is a continuation of the strong seasonal activity we are experiencing in UK waters,” said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater.
“We are delighted to be working with Shearwater on this which is our first proprietary 3D seismic survey to be acquired over the complete seven blocks of UK Licence P2321 which will be instrumental for us to define high quality drilling locations” said Niels Christian Arveschoug, CEO and Founder of North Sea Natural Resources Ltd.
Shearwater has also announced the award, by an established customer, of a large “nodes-on-a-rope” ocean bottom project to be conducted in the second half of this year, in Europe.
The three-month multi-vessel project will utilise more than 7,000 nodes, using Shearwater’s experienced “nodes-on-a-rope” ocean bottom crews.
