Marine geoscience and technology company Shearwater Geoservices has secured a contract from multinational TotalEnergies to conduct a deepwater ocean-bottom node (OBN) survey in Angola. The project, set to begin in January 2025, will span two and a half months and cover the Louro and Mostarda fields in Block 32.
The SW Tasman vessel, equipped with dual remotely operated vehicles, will handle the seismic node-laying operations, while SW Gallien will serve as the source vessel.
“We are very satisfied with the performance of our SW Tasman/Pearl OBN platform which has been in continuous operation since its introduction last year. We are pleased to see one more key client use this unique platform to introduce deepwater OBN to new areas of their operations,” said Shearwater CEO Irene Waage Basili.
Shearwater will deploy its high-endurance Pearl node for the survey, continuing its work with TotalEnergies, for whom it completed a 4D streamer survey in the same area.
