TUNBRIDGE WELLS, UK – Shearwater GeoServices will acquire 3D seismic this summer for Genel Energy in the Sidi Moussa license offshore Morocco.

The survey will include dual, FlexiSource and multi-azimuth shooting, for appraisal and exploration targets, and will involve acquiring more than 3,500 sq km (1,351 sq mi) of 3D data over a three- to four-month period.

In addition, Shearwater’sPolar Marquis vessel will shoot two surveys offshore West Africa for an undisclosed client over a five-month period, with total coverage of around 10,000 sq km (3,861 sq mi).

For one of the surveys the vessel will employ FlexiSource, which is said to cut wide-tow large survey acquisition time by one-third compared to conventional dual-source seismic acquisition.

Throughout the winter season the company’s fleet has also been engaged on acquisition surveys in the Indian Ocean.
