Dolphin Geophysical sets new benchmark for seismic productivity
BERGEN, Norway -- Dolphin Geophysical has just mobilized the 'world's largest floating object' by deploying a seismic spread of 12 streamers, 7,050 m in length with 150 m streamer separation, off the coast of Myanmar for Ophir Energy.
This configuration of equipment has a moving width of 1,850 m, and the seismic spread covers a total area of about 12 km2.
Bjarne Stavenes, V.P. Technical, commented, "Ophir Energy challenged the industry to provide a cost efficient solution to acquire their large 10,000 km2 survey in Myanmar. Dolphin responded by offering this ultra-wide towing solution. After a swift mobilization, Dolphin's Sanco Sword is now in steady production with acquisition of about 150 km2 in a single day. This is believed to be a world record for our industry and we expect Sword to become the benchmark vessel when it comes to productivity going forward."
As a fully integrated geophysical company, Dolphin is also delivering a complete fast track on-board processing system powered by its proprietary OpenCPS software, and the company's Singapore processing office will ensure timely delivery of a complete high quality Pre-Stack Time Migrated (PSTM) SHarp Broadband dataset.
