Norway-headquartered marine geoscience and technology firm Shearwater has secured a large 3D seismic survey by Petronas in Suriname.
Shearwater Geoservices Holding AS, which specialises in collecting data offshore and uses seismic vessels and equipment to explore the seabed, said the project covering 6,000 square kilometres, marks the continuation of Shearwater’s commitment to Petronas in this frontier area having previously performed acquisition work in Block 52.
The Amazon Warrior has been allocated to the three-month project, starting in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“High-quality seismic data is a key enabler for unlocking the vast resource potential of the prolific Suriname-Guyana basin and accelerating exploration activities.
“Shearwater’s state-of-the-art technology and capabilities enable safe and efficient acquisition of exploration seismic data with the highest quality for our clients, supporting their ambitions in this exiting area,” said Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater.
