Marine seismic acquisition company Polarcus has announced that it received a letter of award for a 3D marine seismic acquisition project offshore Australia.
The company revealed that to deliver the broadband dataset it will be utilizing its XArray acquisition technique – developed to deliver high quality data optimizing larger streamer spreads and which the company claims improves in-line shots by 100-250% and cross-line bin density as much as 400% on any streamer separation. It can be set up to provide higher fold data, increase crossline sampling and improve acquisition efficiency.
Polarcus said that the one-month project is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2016, but has not divulged additional information or revealed who the client is.
