Norway’s Shearwater Geoservices has continued to win work offshore India with a new contract for a large-scale 2D seismic survey
The Bergen-based seismic vessel major has secured about five months of utilisation for its 2010-built SW Thuridur on the continental shelf margin off the west coast of India.
The contract starts in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is part of India’s National Seismic Program which plays a role in the country’s strategic approach to map key unappraised offshore areas.
Earlier in November, Shearwater received a letter of award from ONGC for a large 3D seismic survey. The 2011-built Oceanic Sirius will be utilised for the survey, covering an area of about 2,200 sq km. The work, commencing early 2025 is expected to take around four months.
