Work is under way on the 3,500-sq km (1,351-sq mi)Finnmark Platform 2013 (FP13) survey in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea. This will be processed for clients to use in applications for the next Norway APA license round this fall.
The company is applying its Clari-Fi processing technology, which provides broadband data, to a 90,000-km (55,923-mi) grid of long-offset 2D data over parts of the Norwegian Sea.
