CGG nets Anadarko contract for 3D survey offshore Colombia
PARIS -- CGG announced Thursday that it has been awarded a contract by a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. to acquire and process a 16,314-km2 3D seismic survey on the Caribbean coast offshore Colombia.
The survey will be the largest marine seismic program ever acquired in Colombia and follows CGG's completion of Anadarko's 5,500-km2 3D Fuerte survey offshore Colombia in 2013.
The survey, covering portions of Blocks Col-1 and Col-2, will be acquired by the Oceanic Sirius and Oceanic Vega. These environmentally certified vessels are the flagships of CGG's seismic fleet.
Each vessel will tow a 12 x 120 x 8,100 m spread using Sercel's Sentinel steerable solid streamers and CGG's proprietary Dovetail efficient acquisition solution designed to achieve more regular sampling and reduce infill.
The survey will start in the second quarter of 2015, subject to regulatory approval. The survey data will be processed in CGG's Houston subsurface imaging center.
