GTX awards East Africa 2D survey to SCAN

Offshore staff

OSLO, Norway -- GX Technology has contracted SCAN Geophysical to acquire up to 9,000 km (5,592 mi) of long-offset 2D data offshore East Africa as part of GXT's East AfricaSPAN program.

Acquisition of the program is under way and is estimated to take another six weeks to complete. SCAN's 2D vessel, the M/VGeo Searcher, is conducting the survey, using a long-offset streamer and a high-output source.

This is the second 2D survey SCAN has conducted for GXT within the last year. The company recorded approximately 17,000 km (10,563 mi) for GXT offshore India between February and October, 2006, using the same vessel. GXT is selling data from this ultra-deep, multi-client library under the IndiaSPAN.
