CGG has been awarded a contract by a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. to acquire and process a 16,314-sq-km 3-D seismic survey on the Caribbean coast offshore Colombia. The survey will be the largest marine seismic program ever acquired in Colombia, CGG said in a news release.

The survey, covering portions of the Col-1 and Col-2 blocks, will be acquired by the Oceanic Sirius and Oceanic Vega. 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 release said.

The survey will start in second-quarter 2015, subject to regulatory approval. The survey data will be processed in CGG's Houston subsurface imaging center, the release said.
