OSLO, Norway and HOUSTON Magseis Fairfield has won two consecutive deepwater ocean bottom node (OBN) projects in the Gulf of Mexico by an undisclosed repeat customer.

The surveys will be carried out in the Mississippi Canyon and Garden Banks areas and will cover a total area of more than 900 sq km (347 sq mi). Work is scheduled to start in 2Q 2020 and is expected to take about 100 days.

According to the company, the ZXPLR crew led by the node handling vessel REM Saltire was established in the spring of 2019 and has since been in continuous demand for projects in the Gulf of Mexico. This contract extends the project coverage for this crew through August 2020.
