Magseis expects to take approximately 45 to 60 days to complete the work, which will start upon completion of the Oseberg and Gullfaks surveys that are currently underway.
The company’s MASS will improve the efficiency of ocean bottom seismic (OBS) operations.
Magseis’ OBS acquisition system enables it to operate in water depths of 0m to 3,000m and the company’s automated handling system offers efficient OBS operations.
