Spectrum multi-client Americas executive vice-president Richie Miller said: “With the commencement of our first programme in Argentina we again start to build a core area for Spectrum to grow and expand on.

“There has been no deepwater exploration in Argentina and this survey will allow industry to get a look at a frontier area for the first time with modern long offset high-fidelity data.

“This expansion of the Atlantic Margin seismic coverage, will soon allow Spectrum to offer a modern 2D library from French Guiana through Brazil to the edge of the Malvinas Basin offshore Argentina.”
